WISE stands for Wellness, Integration, Step I preparation, Education. These intersessions between basic science blocks were suggested by medical students to allow time for decompression of material learned in blocks, integration of information, spiraling of content within the curriculum, and enhancement of both Step I preparation and overall wellness. These weeks allow students to concentrate on Phase I content between blocks, try new study techniques, prepare for Step I, and address any weaknesses in knowledge. Faculty have the opportunity to teach workshops in this curriculum. You may submit a suggestion for a workshop you would like to lead via the survey linked below.

Workshops should be related to some aspect of medicine that would be of particular interest to medical students at the beginning of their training. Possible topics could be related to arts and humanities in medicine, how basic science and medical research inform medical practice, the history of medicine, etc. Whatever you are passionate about and think medical students should have an opportunity to hear about, think about and discuss.
