Feinberg’s Education-Centered Medical Home (ECMH) program is featured in a Northwestern Medicine Magazine article. ECMH is "such a powerful intervention for all involved — students, preceptors, patients and clinics — that we want to expand it to the entire school,” says Diane B. Wayne, ’91 MD, vice dean for Education and the Dr. John Sherman Appleman Professor of Medical Education.

Faculty Recognition

Faculty mentoring and role modeling is a critical part of medical education. During the clerkship years, Feinberg students are asked to name faculty members that they believe have demonstrated exemplary professionalism and should be recognized. During the 2018-19 academic year, 250 faculty members received at least one nomination and 11 received five or more. See the full list of teaching opportunities to learn more about how to get involved.

Feinberg students and faculty open up about LGBTQ acceptance. Julie Barton, ’88 MD, ’92 GME, clinical assistant professor of Obstetrics & Gynecology shares her experiences as a medical student, resident and physician at Northwestern. “I came here in the 80s as a student.
