Welcome to the medical school! We are thrilled you will be joining us here at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
As you know, you will begin coursework for your first year of medical school on Monday, July 16, 2018. The first block of the year is known as Block One - Becoming A Doctor, which will encompass interactive learning that builds a foundational understanding of population and individual health, bioethics, determinants of health, health systems, and patient-centered care, among other topics. This block has traditionally been started with the reading of an inspiring text before you arrive. This year the Block One design team has chosen Stories from the Shadows: Reflections of a Street Doctor by James O'Connell, MD.
You will take part in a facilitated small group discussion with fellow medical students, all rising second years, on the morning of July 16.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions in advance of starting Block One.
We look forward to meeting you in July!
Heidi Gullett, MD, MPH
Block One Leader
