On average, one full day every two weeks is set aside for electives, Developing learning communities in service and advocacy, research, global health, wellness, and medical education, Instituting a required resilience and mindfulness curriculum for first-year students, Expanding extracurricular events to promote wellness and These curricular changes have resulted in substantially improved mental health of our students.
