Medical College of Wisconsin Student Scholarly Pathways
Our Scholarly Pathways allow students to individualize their training while working with peers and faculty mentors to pursue an area of common interest in greater depth. Scholarly Pathways are a required component of our curriculum. In the Discovery Curriculum, all First and Second Year students participate in their selected Pathway, with an option to continue in the Third Year. With the Class of 2027 and implementation of MCWFusion™ medical students will participate in their selected Scholarly Pathway during Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Each of the Pathways features two components:
- A structured curriculum with a core set of competencies delivered through monthly workshops, or core sessions
- Flexible, experiential noncore enrichment activities guided by a faculty advisor and an Individualized Learning Plan (ILP) designed to apply core concepts in a variety of settings.
