|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Who | When | What | When | What | Why |
ISA | February 2018 | Students requested improved access to psychiatric services | January 2019 | Made available 8 h/wk, access to two UBMD psychiatrists (who do not evaluate students), free of charge to all medical students | Student wellness is important to us. The costs of psychiatric care can be prohibitive. To ensure quick and easy access, without the hassle of insurance, we have reserved this time for our students. |
ISA | February 2018 | Students shared their difficulties in accessing proper financial aid counseling with a part-time advisor located on North Campus. | January 2019 | Hired Jennifer Rice as our full-time, on-site Financial Aid Advisor dedicated to medical students. | A full-time, dedicated staff member on the medical campus should alleviate the issues and student satisfaction will be monitored. |
Focus Group | February 2019 | URM student specific orientation for Phase 2 requested. | June 2019 | Rising M3 URM students dinner/Q&A session with URM residents and rising M4 students | To facilitate connections, establish a support system, and impart wisdom to new M3s before they begin clinical rotations |
