Adam Society
Purpose: The mission of the Adam Society is to provide students with the cognitive and social competencies they need to provide effective patient-centered care by integrating continuous education with opportunities to engage with commonly stigmatized patient populations (e.g. patients wit ha substance use disorder or mental illness). Our purpose is to acknowledge and help combat the well-documented decline in empathy in medical education, specifically surrounding but not limited to substance use disorders, by aiming to increase the perceived value of social medicine in clinical practice through multiple avenues such as interactive lunch lectures, community outreach events, and research opportunities.
