Oversight of M.D. curriculum

Element 8.3 - Curricular Design, Review, Revision/Content Monitoring

What: A faculty committee is responsible for overseeing and implementing all components of the medical education curriculum. At our School of Medicine, that’s called the Curriculum Council.

Why: Faculty, through the Curriculum Council, are responsible for detailed development, design and implementation of all components of the medical education program, which are subject to ongoing monitoring, review and revision.

Call to Action: Take a moment to see the faculty members and student representatives who serve on the Curriculum Council, and review the School of Medicine’s policy on the council’s operating standards.
