Student affairs and engagement

As part of the Division of Student Affairs' Center for Student Well-Being, we offer the following:

Learning communities

Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine has established a learning community model to support your personal and professional growth with a longitudinal connection to a community of learning. This model supports you through a developmental and proactive approach to maximize your potential by providing differential assistance and a community of faculty, interprofessional staff and peers to engage you in your personal and professional development. 

In the learning community model, you’ll: 

• Take part in interactive learning community team activities/touchpoints through the year
• Participate in a virtual communication platform to promote and encourage interactions in real time with your peers, regional campus team and learning community
• Engage in a positive learning environment that supports the formal and hidden curriculum

For more information on learning communities, contact Julia Kolcharno, MA, at jakolcharno@geisinger.edu or 570-504-9635.
