University of South Florida Morsani College of MedicineScholarly Concentrations Program CLASS OF 2016



SCHOLARLYCONCENTRATIONSPROGRAMThe purpose of the Scholarly Concentrations Program (SCP) at the University of South FloridaMorsani College of Medicine is to provide opportunities for students to participate in areasof inquiry, scholarship and creative endeavors so that they are prepared to become leadersin their fields and start a lifetime scholarly approach to the practice of medicine. The SCPappreciates the support of the Office of Research, Innovation and Scholarly Endeavors (RISE)in this mission. Goals for SCP student participants include gaining information in fields thatenhance their understanding of medicine, undertaking experiences that contribute to theirdevelopment as physicians, and completing independent and creative capstone projectsallowing for a 4-year scholarly experience.We now have a history of success with this program and are proud of our studentaccomplishments. Some students have travelled nationally and internationally to compareand contrast medical issues, to appreciate the challenges of the medically underserved,and to increase their own cultural awareness. Other students have delved into thehumanities as a creative outlet for expression and understanding. Still other students havefocused on studying the business, legal and systems-based approaches needed in thepractice of medicine. In all cases, students have taken their projects and presented atlocal meetings, published in national journals and initiated service-oriented and educationalprojects that continue to enhance MCOM and the community.We realize that students have shared their academic careers with us while balancingthe traditional education experience of medical school. We hope that this programhas broadened our students’ horizons such that they have greater understandings andsensitivities to the medical journeys of their patients. Ultimately, we hope that our studentswill be life-long scholars as they move forward in their careers.Special ThanksCharles J.

This project has only reinforced the truth ofthat reality and reminded me once again just how important it is for us to personally set ourselves against thedisparities in access and care among various groups of people. We cannot see what we do not look to see, sowe each must purposefully resolve to search for and eliminate these disparities--and the first step is realizingthat they exist, even when we initially don’t know what we don’t know. 15
