Learning Communities Institute Inc.

To improve health care education across the continuum of learning by fostering scholarship, professional development and the centrality of relationships among learners and teachers as a means to promote compassionate, patient-centered care, health practitioner well-being, and lifelong learning.

The learning communities institute (lci) promotes the creation and implementation of learning communities with an initial focus on undergraduate medical education institutions in the united states, mexico, and canada. As learning communities become recognized as a mark of excellence in an institution's commitment to training effective and compassionate providers we envision they will have broader appeal across graduate medical education and other health professions. The lci will promote collaborations spanning institutions and disciplines to further scholarship and understanding of best practices and outcomes involving learning communities.
