Culturally Responsive Care and Leadership Certificate Program

Launched in the fall of 2022, the Culturally Responsive Care and Leadership Certificate (CRCL) Program began with student activism for a co-curricular space to engage in dialogue and deeper learning on emerging issues related to culture, power, and identity in academic medicine (e.g.,health disparities, trauma-informed care, the role of physicians as advocates and agents of change).

Informed by the DEI Competencies released for the first time by the AAMC in 2022, the 4-year curriculum of the CRCL program is designed to prepare an emerging generation of medical professionals to care, teach, learn, and lead in a diverse and evolving, global society.  

Additional information can be found on the CRCL Webpage.

Stritch Immersion Program

This 16-day program is designed to help prepare incoming students for academic success in medical school. Through virtual and in-person interactive (group and private) sessions and an online self-paced course, the program provides: a simulation of the way material is delivered at Stritch Medical School (SSOM), an assessment of your studying and test-taking strategies and guidance for improving them, an overview of resources that can support your overall health and well-being, a presentation on financial literacy tools and resources, and an introduction to medical school peers, leaders, and the surrounding community.

Program enrollment is capped at 20 students. Participant expectations include a commitment of approximately 20 hours per week, including an accelerated version of an asynchronous online course.

This program is free and all students are invited to apply with preference given to those who: have a non-science undergraduate major, have been out of school for a substantial period, are changing professions, or have educational or social backgrounds that might impact academic success. Additional information, including a calendar of the program's synchronous activities, is available on the SIP webpage.

This program is generously supported by the Office of the Dean, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and the Executive Admissions Committee.
