ACE Master Clinician Mentorship Series 2025-2026
“Perspectives in Medicine - Doctor as Patient”
Please join the Academy of Clinical Excellence (ACE) for the next Master Clinician Mentorship Series (MCMS) session. This discussion provides an exceptional opportunity to hear a Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons master clinician reflect on what it means to experience medicine from the other side of the stethoscope—as a patient.
This series was created by the membership of the Academy and designed specifically for the needs of clinical faculty to help them thrive and grow at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center. If you consider yourself a clinician, future clinician, or a mid-level provider, please join us for this panel discussion, and learn what you can do to further your career, optimize your practice at Columbia, and meet like-minded peers.
