University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine Scholarly Concentrations Program Class of 2020
SCHOLARLY CONCENTRATIONS PROGRAM The Morsani College of Medicine has much to be proud of regarding the accomplishments of the SCP students during this academic year. The SCP, supported by Research, Innovation & Scholarly Endeavors (RISE), provided resources, leadership and academic structure for medical students pursing novel scholarly work. Students had opportunities to get involved in biomedical research, including focused study in nutrition and in medicine and gender. Students also studied medicine from an international and public health perspective, including in- depth approaches to help the medically underserved. Some students pursued an understanding of a systems approach to medicine, focusing on health systems engineering as well as business. Finally, students pursued scholarly work in medical education, law, as well as humanities. The specific curriculum and projects developed by each concentration as well as the over-arching curriculum offered by RISE, empowered students to excel in their academic pursuits. This excellence was manifested by productive interactions with faculty resulting in abstracts, posters, talks and publications. We realize that students have shared their academic careers with us while balancing the traditional education experience of medical school. We hope that this program has broadened our students’ horizons such that they have a greater understanding of, and are sensitive to, the medical journeys of their patients. We are proud of what these students have accomplished and we look forward to our students incorporating their enthusiasm and skills for scholarship into their medical careers moving forward. We would like to take this opportunity to thank both students and faculty for their hard work and their commitment to scholarship. The SCP continues to benefit from the leadership and guidance of Bryan Bognar, MD, MPH, Chair of the Dept. of Medical Education and Vice Dean for Educational Affairs. We want to express our sincere appreciation for his critical insights regarding medical education and his tireless support for this program. Also, we are most fortunate to benefit from the vision and leadership of Charles (Charly) J. Lockwood, MD, MHCM, Senior Vice President, Dean, USF Health Morsani College of Medicine. Since his arrival in May 2014, he has inspired our faculty and students to follow their passion for scholarship and excellence. We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to Dean Lockwood for his support and commitment to the SCP program. The program is able to sustain its success because it is supported by the superb staff members of the Department of Medical Education. We owe much to their help, which we would like to acknowledge here today by saying thank you. We are indebted to these individuals and they inspire us to move forward.
