RCCI Newsletter

In January 2003, Indiana University School of Medicine began a three-year process of self-study and organizational development known as the Relationship-Centered Care Initiative. The focus of RCCI is the social environment, or informal curriculum, of the medical school. IUSM is studying how to transform the informal curriculum of a medical school to foster relationship-attentiveness to human interactions-in all aspects of medical school and practice. The desired outcome is a social environment that consistently reflects and reinforces the moral, ethical, professional, and humane values expressed in the School’s formal curriculum.
