The Center for Education of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia

You probably know the Mütter Museum, but what about all the amazing educational initiatives going on at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia?  The Center for Education develops and implements programming that uses the many resources of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia and the Mütter Museum to educate and inform health professionals and the public. The Center oversees the educational programming of The College, including tour programs, arts and accessibility programs, and the college’s summer and after-school youth programs.

Program Coordinator Jeanene Johnson works primarily with the Junior Fellows and Girls ONE programs but also provides support to the TEVA and Out4STEM programs as well. Her background is in non-profit management and she is inherently interested in psychology, human nature and social interactions.

While her colleagues cringe at all talk of zodiac, Jeanene admits she is a Virgo with a Leo rising and Gemini moon and feels that these attributes explain her desire to serve, her shy gregariousness, her need to reflect, and her somewhat cluttered sense of order!

Jeanene considers herself a youth advocate, resource finder and social liaison. She loves animals, long walks on the beach in tropical climates, working with youth, and connecting people.
