We believe that learning is most effective when it occurs in a supportive and collaborative environment. That's why we're proud to offer learning communities, small groups of students who come together to enhance their educational experience, foster professional development, and build lasting connections with peers, faculty, and mentors.
Learning communities are small, close-knit groups of medical students who meet across all four years of our educational program. These communities provide students with a sense of belonging and connection within the larger medical school community, creating opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and personal growth.
At MCG Savannah, students are admitted into one of four learning communities which reflect the beauty of our coastal community:
Joining a learning community offers a multitude of benefits for medical students:
Learning communities offer opportunities for mentorship and guidance from faculty members, senior students, and alumni. Through mentorship programs, workshops, and networking events, students have access to valuable advice, insights, and resources to support their academic and professional development.
Learning communities provide opportunities for professional development, including workshops, seminars, and guest lectures on topics such as communication skills, leadership development, and career planning. These activities help students develop essential skills and competencies that will serve them throughout their medical careers.
Joining a learning community is easy and offers immediate benefits for your medical school experience. Whether you're a first-year student just starting your journey or a senior looking to connect with peers and mentors, there's a learning community waiting for you at MCG Savannah!
