• Help patients draft a list of questions and concerns for their meeting with a medical specialist.
• Accompany patients to their appointments to take summary notes and to make an audio recording to share with the patient.

Upon receiving training in teaching, learning, and pedagogy as well as strategies for assisting with cooperative learning in the classroom, the Learning Fellows attend each class and help facilitate group problem solving sessions. In addition, the Learning Fellows act as an additional source of resource for the current students.
