Harada and Parker to Present “Learning Communities: Creating Structures for Peer Support”

Medical educators are often called upon to help identify, support, and remediate struggling students. The root causes of student performance deficits are multifaceted and may be due to academic and non-academic factors. Deficiencies are rarely correctable through a simple solution. The Fall 2022 IAMSE Webinar Series will address strategies for identifying and supporting at-risk students and recognizing and breaking down barriers that may limit student success. The fourth session in the series will feature Caroline Harada from the University of Alabama Birmingham (USA) and Lauren Parker from the University of Kansas School of Medicine (USA).

Learning Communities:

Session Description: This webinar will describe how Learning Communities can be used to support struggling students. Learning Communities are intentionally formed groups of students and faculty who actively learn from each other while building relationships that enhance support networks. LC programs can assist struggling students in a multitude of ways and can be easily integrated with other student support structures in a medical school. It will be described how this is done at a variety of institutions across the country.
