The Office of Student Enrichment Programs serves to broaden the scope of medical education to include health, social, and academic experiences beyond the classroom with the goal of creating cross-culturally competent physicians instilled with the understanding and desire to serve their many communities-professional, local, and global.
Specific program objectives are as follows:
- To nurture students' interest and abilities in academic medicine through research opportunities outside the classroom
- To incorporate students into multidisciplinary teams to enhance their appreciation of the expertise of other health and social service disciplines
- To promote the exchange of health care ideas and practices through communication and interaction with health care professionals in non-allopathic medical systems
- To broaden students' perspective on health, human illness, and problems of human suffering in local and global underserved communities
- To give students hands-on experience providing culturally competent health care and advocacy both in Rochester and overseas
