Seminars
All students will participate in round-table discussions based on
weekly experiences in the field. You will participate in weekly
seminars that allow you to reflect on your experiences and listen to
the experiences of your peers. These seminars provide the context to
increase your leadership skills, exercise your communication skills,
identify your own voice, and articulate your perspective and learning
in a neutral and non-judgmental environment. You will actively engage
in challenging your colleagues' ideas and they will challenge yours.
The seminars emphasize self-directed learning; learning in context;
reflective learning; and the practice of positive, fruitful, and
mutually beneficial approaches of communicating in the context of
multicultural voices and perspectives. As a group, you will produce new
knowledge and appreciate your role as a knowledge producer.
Your
other experiential coursework includes internships or Pre-Med Rotations
and Research, seminars and community service.
