Dear Pre-Health Advisor,
This email is a friendly reminder of the upcoming Open House at Lehigh
Valley Health Network on Saturday, October 1. Please share this
information with any interested student who you believe would benefit
from learning more about our new innovative MD Program.
The University of South Florida College of Medicine is now accepting
applications from prospective medical students for a program jointly
created by USF COM and Lehigh Valley Health Network to prepare physician
leaders committed to accelerating change in health care. The Scholarly
Excellence, Leadership Experiences, Collaborative Learning Program
(SELECT) matriculated its inaugural class in Fall 2011 and is actively
recruiting our second class of future change agents who aspire to
passionately serve patients and transform healthcare in the 21st
century.
SELECT program students will complete a distinctive curriculum
emphasizing leadership development, interprofessional collaboration,
health care quality and safety, and cost management that is integrated
with their medical and clinical science instruction. Across all four
years of the SELECT program, students will be mentored by top medical
faculty from both USF and LHVN and have the opportunity to build the
professional networks needed to drive reform in medicine and health
care.
Students spend their first two years taking classes at the USF campus in
Tampa, FL, and then go to the USF/LVHN campus in Allentown, PA, for two
years of focused clinical education. USF COM is nationally recognized
for its student-centered innovative medical school curriculum, which
encompasses the full spectrum of health. LVHN, known for its quality,
safety and modern team care, received the 2010 University Health System
Consortium Leadership Award for demonstrated excellence in delivering
high quality care.
We invite you to learn and explore more about our program on Saturday,
October 1, 2011 beginning at 8:30 am at the LVHN-Muhlenberg Hospital
located at Rt. 22 and Schoenersville Road in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
To RSVP, please contact Sherri White at Sherri_S.White@lvhn.org or
610-402-2554.
In addition, we ask you to please forward this invitation to your
pre-med students and their organizations' listserv to inform them about
this wonderful opportunity for college juniors, seniors, and recent
college graduates who are currently applying to medical school to learn
about our SELECT Program.. Students should also RSVP for the Open House
by contacting Sherri White at Sherri_S.White@lvhn.org or 610-402-2554.
