Societies Program
From the first day of medical school, each student in ArizonaMed will be assigned to a learning community called a Society. Each Society will be further subdivided into groups of 6 students, which will stay together for all four years of the curriculum. In these small groups students will:
- learn interviewing, physical examination, and patient care skills at the patient beside
- develop clinical thinking, documentation and presentation skills
- provide consistent and structured exposure to modern concepts of professionalism. Perhaps most importantly students in the Societies will receive long-term professional mentoring from some of our best clinical educators.
