PROFESSIONALISM

This is an important part of the curriculum at the School of Medicine. Students participate in professionalism education throughout medical school. Complete PROFESSIONALISM PROGRAM AND PHILOSOPHY

 

The Career Development Program is committed to helping students select specialties that will meet both professional and personal goals. Although specialty selection is a personal decision-making process, the program provides students with:

  • A process that will help students with specialty selection
  • An opportunity for students to discuss specialty decision-making with colleagues
  • Resources to help students make an informed decision

The program, which combines group exercises with individual projects, consists of four components:

  • self-assessment
  • career exploration
  • decision making
  • implementation
