The National Transformation Network is a collaborative of medical schools led by the Milwaukee-based Medical College of Wisconsin and includes the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine in Hanover, N.H.; the Mayo Clinic School of Medicine in Rochester, Minn.; and UC San Francisco School of Medicine; the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School; the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison; and the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, Tenn.

The National Transformation Network will work with the Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Institute for the Transformation of Medical Education at the Medical College of Wisconsin to encourage educators to apply the triple aim for medical education — character, competence and caring — to help physicians become more empathetic and compassionate in patient interactions.
