This course is intended to build the foundations for a successful medical school experience using teambuilding, interpersonal interaction, reflective practice, critical listening and reading, community engagement, and hands-on skills practice. Week one includes important orientation sessions and activities centered on belonging, growth mindset, problem- and team-based learning, wellness, and resiliency. Week two emulates the format of the preclinical curriculum with student-directed learning and engaged learning sessions (e.g., labs, team-based learning, etc.) focused on foundational elements of evidence-based medicine, ethics, humanism, and health systems science.
