Those students interested in public health and policy may delve more deeply into these issues by taking an additional year to pursue a <a class=\"internal-link\" href=\"https:\/\/med.virginia.edu\/generalist-scholars-program\/?p=174\">master\u2019s degree in public health<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leadership &amp; Communication &#8211;<\/strong> GSP students are expected to assume a leadership role in their future endeavors, whether that be as community practitioner or in the realm of research and academia. \u00a0Leadership preparation starts early in the program when students help plan and coordinate the annual Primary Care Week activities sponsored by the Generalist Scholars Program. Through a variety of educational experiences students are challenged to develop their oral and written communication skills, whether in the context of direct patient contact, advocacy activities, research, or teaching.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wellness &amp;
