Professionalism Small Group

Faculty members serve as a Professionalism Small Group facilitator for MS1 students. Facilitators meet with a group of 8-9 students to review cases on professionalism. Faculty have that choice of signing up for one or two afternoons to facilitate a 2-hour session. MS4 students are also assigned as co-facilitators for these sessions.

Objectives

  • To think critically about what is expected from you as physicians in training.
  • To compare and contrast these new expectations with those of your former life (either as students or another career).
