Senior Mentor Program, the School of Medicine\u2019s long-running program to build skills, compassion, and aging-related awareness among medical school students kicked off this week with a Carolina Club luncheon for 195 students and 100-plus mentors.\u00a0The Senior Mentor Program was developed by the Division of Geriatric Medicine\u2019s Ellen Roberts, PhD, MPH, and is run through the Division\u2019s Center for Aging and Health.<\/p>\n

\"UNC<\/p>\n

All first-year medical school students participate in the Senior Mentor Program as part of their spring semester Patient-Centered Care Course. During the program, students visit with their mentors four times in their homes, and they might even accompany them on a doctor\u2019s visit. At the lunch, students met their mentors for the first time and began the process of getting to know each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are so many important components to this curriculum and one is the Patient-Centered Care Course, where students learn to interact with patients and hear their stories,\u201d said Dr. Kurt Gilliland, Associate Dean for Curriculum.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always make this statement every year, but you are the teachers, you are the professors of our students in this process,\u201d Dr. Gilliland told the mentors, many of whom are repeat participants.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"UNC<\/p>\n

This is George M’s fourth year as a mentor with the program. \u201cI find the experience fascinating, finding out what the students are interested in and where they think they\u2019re headed in their careers. I\u2019ve enjoyed it, and benefitted from it, and I think they\u2019ve benefitted, by getting a good look at an older fellow.”<\/p>\n

Mr. M said his students this year \u201cseem like exceptionally good students. So I\u2019m looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
