Learning Pathways

We have created a series of special learning pathways for those interested in gaining additional skills in a particular area. Think of these like a college minor (where learning internal medicine is the major).

Pathway benefits include:

  • Priority access to special electives

  • Mentorship

  • Certificate upon graduating

Learning Pathways include the following elements:

  • Focused Areas of interest

  • Longitudinal Learning Experience

  • Scholarly Work
