Commitment to Wellbeing

Personal well-being looks different for everyone. We are committed to supporting students through their personal and professional development while fostering a strong sense of wellbeing. Through focusing on different dimensions of wellbeing, we strive to ensure every student’s journey through medical school is a positive and healthy one.

We have many initiatives that focus on the different dimensions of Personal Wellbeing.
