Learning Communities
The design of the Health Sciences Learning Center includes five learning communities where students are welcomed as individuals and invited to unite as a group for mutual encouragement, shared experiences and friendship. As such, our students call them "houses".
Every learning community consists of approximately 30 students from each of the four classes. Students remain a part of the same "house" for the duration of their medical school years. The primary goal is to encourage coaching between new students and more experienced students. This structure reflects a trend in medical education that sees movement away from lectures and didactic learning toward individual and small-group problem solving.
