IAMSE Webinar – Learning Communities: Creating Structures for Peer Support

In this webinar, we will describe how Learning Communities can be used to support struggling students. Learning Communities are intentionally formed groups of students and faculty who actively learn from each other while building relationships that enhance support networks. LC programs can assist struggling students in a multitude of ways and can be easily integrated with other student support structures in a medical school. We will describe how this is done at a variety of institutions across the country.
