Faculty Mentoring Panels – Faculty from all specialties are invited to engage residents — as well as students — in their research projects. These meetings serve as an important early point of contact for residents to develop relationships with research and, often, career mentors.
Medical students spend a great deal of time in preclinical and clinical experiences in the Department of Medicine. The Office of Education works closely with Undergraduate Medical Education leadership in reviewing evaluations of the clerkship, sub-internship and elective rotations, making improvements wherever needed to create a supportive and effective learning environment.
Faculty have the opportunity to engage with students outside of clinical work as volunteer faculty for student groups such as the Internal Medicine Interest Group and many others.
