As a college of medicine, we endeavor to graduate students who will be “excellent clinicians and scientists.” Therefore, we will graduate self-regulated, collaborative, ethical lifelong learners who value equity and integrity and will provide the highest quality, evidence-based care for their patients.

Our Guiding Principles:
  • Student well-being and resilience are supported by an inclusive, respectful, and equitable learning environment.
  • Students are valued as integral members of the patient care team and will be given progressive autonomy that allows them to apply their talents, experiences, and abilities to realize their full potential as self-regulated, lifelong, master adaptive learners.
  • Development of professional identity will be supported through meaningful feedback, objective and accurate assessments, and preceptors (faculty and residents) who provide mentoring and role model professionalism, integrity, and ethical behavior.
  • Equity and Inclusion will permeate all aspects of our educational endeavors. We will utilize various methods of instruction and discussion to address the historical, cultural, and systems contexts for inequities in medical education and health care.
  • Integration facilitates meaningful learning and will be accomplished by applying cognitive science and systems thinking into a curriculum that promotes an understanding of the scientific principles of medicine, clinical skills, and competencies associated with health systems science.
