The Learning Environment
The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine strives to achieve a respectful, cooperative, and professional learning environment for our students, faculty, and staff in all educational and clinical sites.
For students to be engaged academically, their learning environment must be free from mistreatment, coercion, undue influence, and other unacceptable behaviors that negatively influence their ability to perform their best.
What Is a Healthy Learning Environment?
A healthy learning environment is:
- respectful, cooperative, and professional;
- conducive for a student’s ability to engage fully in learning; and
- protective of students against mistreatment, coercion, undue influence, and other unacceptable behaviors.
