TRANSCRIPT
The Learning Communities at UWSMPH have three guiding principles:
Create a caring community for all learning community members
Help learning community members make sense of their experiences
Empower the community and its members to make transparent and positive decisions
Through these guiding principles, the learning communities will foster community, leadership, professional-ism, well-being and sharing of knowledge in order to develop more intellectually, socially, physically and emo-tionally prepared physicians.

M4 Aos Karim created an amazing computer program that did every-thing from announcing the specialty, to sharing pictures, and pinning the Match location on a map. The entire event was live-streamed for those who couldn’t attend in person.

Class co-president, Alex Girgis, addresses a
crowd that nearly filled the 1000-seat theater. Some students choose to peek in the
envelope before they go on stage!
Before opening that envelope,
students received individual
congrats on their specialty.
Special photos scrolled as students,
family, and significant others
opened their envelopes and
discovered their Match.
Students trembled, people cried, and entire
families shook their groove thing! Thanks to the map, we all knew the Match location!
The Class of 2016 says that they have the best
Match T-Shirts ever! And the stage fit everyone!

Mario Ademaj, M4 in Bardeen House, recently shared a few words with House Calls about his 4th year preceptorship rotation in Green Bay.
What a great opportunity for students! Part of my rotation for my preceptor-ship includes creating a community-based program or project regarding health. Since I am very interested in Sports Medicine and Primary Care, my project is on sports-related injury prevention. As part of my project, I had the chance to meet with, and learn from, the Packers' physi-cians. Dr. Ebben is on the left of the
picture, Dr. McKenzie is on the right.
