School of Medicine Announces Names of Four
Colleges Advisory/Clinical Skills ProgramsNaming Announcement | The Program | Goals | Faculty | Naming Information
What are the program goals?
- To foster a welcoming learning community for students honoring diversity and unique interests
- To promote faculty advising and mentoring relationships with all students throughout medical school
- To foster social and supportive connections between students, particularly across levels of training
- To foster scientific inquiry, innovation, and leadership among students
- To assist students in building networks of connections within the Hopkins medical community to meet their emerging goals
- To provide clinician role models to foster excellence in humanism, professionalism, and the clinical skills of medicine
What is the rationale for starting a colleges system?
- Students expressed the desire to build closer relationships with faculty, particularly in the first two years of medical school
- Counterbalance the current fragmentation in faculty teaching assignments (due to clinical work, economic and subspecialty trends) making it difficult for faculty to devote the number of hours needed to train students in the clinical skills of medicine
- Opportunity to enhance teaching in humanistic and relational aspects of medical care
- Promote attention to the professional and personal growth of medical students
