SPOTLIGHT ON EDUCATION
UMN Psychiatry and Behavioral Sci. Newsletter: Summer 2018
FROM THE VICE CHAIR FOR EDUCATION, Kaz Nelson, MD
We are enacting change at both the undergraduate and graduate medical education level. We are taking concrete steps in building the necessary infrastructure to more effectively support the needs of our students and trainees. I am grateful to the many people who have stepped forward to lend their perspectives and expertise throughout this building process.
Trainees and faculty within the UMN Department of Psychiatry are active participants in this discussion and process at multiple levels, lending expertise in the domain of mental health and wellness. In the coming months, we will be called upon to an even greater degree to be part of the evolving solution. What are your ideas on how to best promote a culture of health and wellness in education and healthcare delivery?
