**Please note: these programs are for M1-M4 students only
The NEOMED COM has adopted a badging program to recognize distinction among medical students who choose to acquire extracurricular specialized knowledge and skills during their time at NEOMED. These badges are a quantifiable mark of distinction in the context of a designated learning community. Learning communities are broadly defined as: "intentionally developed longitudinal groups of faculty and students that aim to enhance students’ medical school experience and maximize learning" (Ferguson et al, 2009).
The NEOMED COM Learning Communities are intentionally designed programs that contain opportunities to attain badges for students’ longitudinal, progressive and sustained engagement. Alternatively, students may explore several badges if they are unsure whether to commit to a longitudinal path toward greater distinction. We are prioritizing inclusivity and exploration to ensure any student at any stage in their personal and professional life can engage at any time. As more Learning Communities are added, we hope students will gravitate to communities as a means to personalize their own educational experience in the College of Medicine.

The following will be offered in AY 2025-2026:

1. Health Equity, Advocacy and Leadership (HEAL)
The HEAL learning communities will have concentrations in rural medicine, social justice, and urban practice. The core purpose of these communities is ro promote early and longitudinal engagement in diverse and underserved communities. Students will establish strong connections with peers and faculty, while co-constructing their knowledge of health and health care disparities.
o Rural Medical Education (RMED)
o Social Justice Partnership (SJP)
o Urban Primary Care Practice (UPCP)

2. Oak Badge for Medical Humanism
The Oak Badge for Medical Humanism recognizes students who demonstrate compassion, empathy, and patient-centered care. This progressive badge allows students to earn points through various activities, both internal and external, fostering skill, knowledge, and engagement. As the program evolves, additional activities will offer opportunities for students to deepen their commitment to humanism in medicine and develop holistic patient care approaches.

3. In the works - Research and Scholarship
The Research and Scholarship learning community will help students distinguish themselves amongst their peers. The qualities of critical thinking and problem solving, which are engrained in research, will promote the attitude of life-long learning in physicians, and in turn, better serve patients. The overarching goal of the badging program is to instill the process of critical thinking and reinforcement of the pathophysiological basis of disease in the student participants. We believe this will lead to one’s success in any M.D. career path. Critical thinking is a foundational process that will enable better decisions in patient care or in research (clinical or basic) and the application of basic knowledge to the patient is important for medical care.

The Professional Development Advising Team (PDAT) program began in 1995 and has assisted medical students with continuity in advising, support and retention from the first year of medical school until graduation.

The PDAT program assists students in adjusting to the many pressures and stresses of medical education within a small group context. Peer Advisors provide a formal forum for first-year students to interact with a second-year student who can serve as a resource person to provide an opportunity for guidance and support, assist students in finding appropriate campus resources and model professional behavior. Peer Advisors may also informally assist students in subsequent years with adjustments to clinical experiences and clerkships.

PDAT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES

The PDAT program has incorporated five student led executive committees, made up of student chairs and committee members. Each committee is charged with a responsibility to better assist and support students throughout all four years of their medical education.

Events/Planning Committee: Recommend and plan peer advisor events; determine meeting format, mandatory or optional and frequency.

Social Media Committee: Push content out to the students through the NEOMED Peer Advisor Instagram account (@neomedcompdat); features, student spotlights, resources, and assign regular student contributors.

Outreach Committee: Create a recommended peer advisor communication plan; determine an efficient way to communicate with other Peer Advisors and advisees in between meetings.

Program Evaluation Committee: Create mid and end of the year peer advisor program evaluations to assess program effectiveness and determine recommendations for improvement.

Resource Committee: Compile common peer advisor resources and recommend a platform for sharing.

SESSIONS AND LUNCHES

Second-year Peer Advisors are required to host three peer advisor lunches throughout the academic year to "check in" with their first-year advisees. These lunches occur in the fall, winter and spring and serve as a platform for Peer Advisors to answer questions and offer advice to their advisees in the areas of study planning, exam preparation, time management, balancing extra-curricular activities, maintaining personal wellness, etc.

Third-year Peer Advisors also host advising sessions throughout the year. These sessions offer second-year students the opportunity to meet with third-year Peer Advisors to gather advice on study habits for M2 year including Step 1 preparation and what to expect during third year clerkships.

Questions about the PDAT program can be directed to Harmony Stanger, Assistant Director of Student Affairs in the College of Medicine, at hstanger@neomed.edu or 330-325-6719.

Title IX is a federal law that applies to all colleges, universities, and school districts who receive any federal financial assistance. The law is designed to protect all participants in the university’s educational programs from discrimination on the basis of sex, including parents/guests, students, and employees. Title IX also prohibits sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault, dating and domestic violence, and sex-based stalking. The law protects all participants from discrimination in recruitment, admissions, financial aid and scholarship decisions; course offerings and access; hiring and retention of employees; and the provision of benefits and leave to students and employees.

Title IX is enforced by the United States Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.

NEOMED is committed to ensure its students, employees and guests are free from discrimination and harassment in conjunction with any program or activity being conducted on or by the University.

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Implementing Regulations at 20 U.S.C § 1681 & 34 C.F.R.
