MORSANI COLLEGE OF MEDICINESCHOLARLYCONCENTRATIONSPROGRAMThe purpose of the Scholarly Concentrations Program at the University of South Florida MorsaniCollege of Medicine is to provide opportunities for students to participate in areas of inquiry,scholarship and creative endeavors so they are prepared to become leaders in their fields and start alifetime scholarly approach to the practice of medicine. Goals for student participants include gaininginformation in fields that enhance their understanding of medicine, undertaking experiences thatcontribute to their development as physicians, and completing independent and creative capstoneprojects allowing for a 4-year scholarly experience.We realize that students have shared their academic careers with us while balancing the traditionaleducational experience of medical school. We hope that this program has broadened our students’horizons such that they have greater understandings and sensitivities to the medical journeys of theirpatients. Ultimately, we hope that our students will be life-long scholars as they move forward in theircareers.Special ThanksHarry R. van Loveren, MDInterim Dean, Morsani College of MedicineChair, Department of Neurosurgery & Brain RepairBryan Bognar, MD, MPH, FACPVice Dean, Morsani College of Medicine
