We are looking for faculty to join us for Introduction to Clinical Medicine in the fall of 2022. 

You can sign-up for as few as 1 or as many sessions as you would like! If you haven’t taught students in the past, this is a great opportunity to get involved in medical student teaching in a well-valued course. Here are some details:

• Sessions run from 2-5:15 pm and take place in-person at the Jordan Medical Education Center in PCAM.

  • One group of 4 will meet from 2-3:30 and the second group will meet from 3:45-5:15 pm.
