Student Wellbeing

Body

At the Larner College of Medicine, we understand that medical school is a unique time filled with exciting and challenging new experiences. Our office seeks to promote the wellbeing of all students through dynamic and flexible resources and programming, as well as care that is accessible to all. Further, we aim to support students while also empowering them to explore their own vision of wellbeing. Our mission is guided by the tenets of Professionalism here at Larner. To build the health of our community, we are led by compassion for ourselves and for one another, and we bring kindness and respect to each of our interactions. Fostering our own wellbeing allows us to be humble and caring stewards for each other while maintaining excellence in patient care, research and education. We are committed to maintaining a learning environment that promotes equity and wellbeing amidst a spirit of collaboration. We strive to develop physicians who endeavor to find balance and wellness in a profession that is dedicated to the service of others. We prioritize a supportive environment that destigmatizes seeking help, where students can safely build the skills and resilience necessary for the practice of medicine. We are proud to support the Larner community with a philosophy of responsive and approachable care.
