Feinberg welcomed 150 admitted medical students to campus for a “Second Look” event on April 11 and 12. The two-day event provided accepted students with an opportunity to learn more about the medical school’s campus, health equity and inclusion efforts, curriculum and community. Visiting students attended symposiums and active learning simulations, had a chance to connect with current students and faculty, and toured the campus. Students also heard from several affinity group leaders at Feinberg, as well as representatives from Feinberg’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
Second Look began with a panel on community engagement and advocacy, during which faculty presented about the efforts being made at Feinberg and Northwestern Medicine to advance health equity and inclusion in medicine.
