The Contract for Social Commitment
Medical School Curriculum Project

MSU medical students have a curriculum that has been enhanced with experiences, interviews and didactic material to help prepare them to care sensitively for a diverse patient population.

"Most students “agreed” or “strongly agreed” that they should acquire competence in caring for a diverse patient population, including care of the poor.  Attitudes remained high and positive throughout the first two years of medical school."

Funded by a Contract with the Michigan Department of Community Health; Jane Turner, M.D. Project Director
