One day out of the year, the future doctors of the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine put away the text books and stethoscopes to compete for the pride of their collegia at the Collegia Olympics. This is the day when the burdens of medical school are put aside to welcome camaraderie through a series of games culminating in a single champion. One student described it as “old school field day in elementary school.”

The Collegia Program, comprised of students from across all four years of medical school, was established in 2012 to enhance the Career Advising Program. It has since grown into a non-residential learning community model that engages students in and out of the classroom. The program strives to provide a supportive, reflective, learner-centered environment for the personal and professional development of each individual student.
