PROMOTING REFLECTION and INDIVIDUAL growth through SUPPORT and MENTORING (棱镜)

At the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, we recognize that the path to becoming a physician is enhanced through guidance and mentoring. 棱镜 provides a multi-layered system of support, along with a four-year curriculum that focuses on personal growth, 健康, and career development. Monthly sessions create opportunities for reflections and small group discussion.
