Course Description
In this weekly workshop, students strengthen the personal qualities they need to become a successful medical student and superior physician. They clarify your own learning style and gain practical skills to keep on track with time management, organization and self-care practices. Students also prepare for high-pressure settings, exam accommodations, and business management. Through research and discussions about bias, diversity, equity, and inclusion each student is better-prepared to make more informed health care decisions. Students will also build their cultural competency and interpersonal communication skills, learn about self- and patient advocacy and how to finance a medical education.
