About Culture of Caring

The College of Human Medicine was founded as a medical school to caring and wellness. Over recent years, major events have affected the university at large, as well as the college itself.

Connection and Conversation groups for difficult times

We are offering the opportunity to come together (virtually) to connect, listen to and to learn from each other. We have facilitated zoom meetings as listed below. Our hope is to reflect and connect in response to state, national and global events which seem beyond our control.

These trauma-sensitive opportunities for faculty and staff in our college are a time to come together as colleagues for facilitated Zoom dialogues focused on emotional “check-ins, working together to navigate our health, and creating a mindful space to build and share stories of challenges and resiliency.

Two opportunities per week to meet for an hour:

• Mondays 5pm – 6 pm with Claudia Finkelstein, MD, January 18, 25 and February 1
• Wednesdays 12 pm – 1 pm with Julia Felton, PhD, January 20, 27 and February 3

Groups are open to all faculty and staff of the College of Human Medicine. If you would like a unit-specific session, please contact Claudia at finkel22@msu.edu
