Abstract: 

This product contains materials used in the University of South Carolina's Senior Mentor Program. The program pairs seniors with medical students in an effort to help broaden the students' awareness of their patients. The goal is for students to view their patients as individual people instead of just another sick person.

Additional information/Special implementation requirements or guidelines: 

Strong planning, as to what modules are realistic to accomplish in light of the program characteristics i.e. 1 year vs. 2, required or elective.
