The Wisconsin Medical Journal (WMJ) is a peer-reviewed, scientific journal that publishes original research, case reports, review articles, and essays about current medical and public health issues. The purpose of the WMJ is to provide a forum for professional communication and continuing education for physicians and other health professionals in Wisconsin and beyond. The WMJ is owned and published by the 91ɫƵ and the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, in collaboration with the Wisconsin Medical Society. The WMJ is available through subscription and electronically, with free full text online through PubMed and PubMed Central.

Panel Session 3 | Alumni Center
A New Course for a New Era? Insight into the Development of an Integrative and Wholistic Character and Professionalism Course for Preclinical Medical Students
Moderator: Ashley Pavlic, MD, MA
What makes a good doctor? Skills beyond medical knowledge are required. A good doctor requires a sense and stability of self, the desire to practice virtue, excellent communication skills, understanding of health care disparities, and a willingness to be vulnerable, acknowledge mistakes, and grow. Our medical school has just rolled out a curricular redesign which was the result of years of deliberation and planning across all our three campuses. We discuss our experiences in the creation of a novel course, The Good Doctor, which addresses competencies surrounding character development, well-being, ethics, health equity, and communication skills. This course utilizes a longitudinal small group structure called “Learning Communities” to engage with medical schools’ most psychologically challenging content. We discuss how this course came to be and the initial feedback from the first three months.
Through this session, participants will (1) understand how our values have shifted what we accentuate in medical school, (2) discuss the collaborative process of course creation, including decisions about course content and structure and evaluation methods, and (3) review feedback and lessons learned from the first two months of the course.
Session Two
Workshop 5 | MEB, 3850
Toward Flourishing: A Novel Approach for Addressing Challenges in Medical Education
Facilitator: Jeff Fritz, MD
This workshop will begin with an overview of the Kern National Network’s framework for Flourishing in Medicine. Essential aspects for the framework in the promotion of flourishing – character, caring and practical wisdom – will be applied to current challenges in the UME or GME environment. The challenges will be selected by the attendees and could include equity in the admission process, overcoming bias in evaluation or remediation, integration of medical humanities in the promotion of profession, or successful transitions into UME and GME. The session will conclude with discussion on the promotion of flourishing within our spheres of influence.
