Educational Spaces & Learning Communities
Educational Spaces
Educational spaces for the College of Medicine are located within the Discovery Building, Breakthrough Building and Innovation Hall at Roseman University’s Summerlin (Las Vegas) campus.
Learning Communities
Medical school learning communities traditionally serve as a way to allow smaller groups of students to learn and serve the community together, through curricular and extracurricular activities, while supporting each other and growing both professionally and personally. Roseman University College of Medicine’s six Learning Communities will be unique among medical schools, as they will integrate communities of medical practice in GENESIS with communities of study.
At the center of each Learning Community are the students, learning from and with each other through all of the challenges in medical school. Roseman’s Learning Communities will have three primary functions:
- Student support and advising
- Clinical practice opportunities
- Community service learning
The GENESIS household-centered care model will provide an opportunity for students to manage a practice together with faculty and staff assigned to their Learning Community. Student programs, such as specialty interest groups, will also be available across Learning Communities. Opportunities for scholarly work may occur within or across Learning Communities. And, a design approach to problem-solving can allow for fun, productive, and competitive programs like hackathons between Learning Communities. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) will encourage participation in all of these activities with students and faculty from other Roseman colleges, such as dental, nursing, and pharmacy.
