Mission, Goals & Objectives
Preamble
During the past ten years, various committees and working groups of the MD Undergraduate Program have produced several documents addressing the program’s mission, goals, and objectives. These earlier documents were created through extensive consultation within and outside the Faculty of Medicine, and the development of the present publication follows a similar process.
The primary goal of this document is to create one integrated and coherent publication. A secondary goal is to fill in the few remaining gaps, as specified in the LCME accreditation guidelines.
This publication will play two roles: (1) As a communication device for medical school faculty, students, staff, administration and others outside the school. It will provide a clear and transparent direction for the program; and (2) As a framework to guide the ongoing program evaluation process. It will provide a structure and criteria for evaluation.
It is important to note that this is a ‘living’ document which will need to be reviewed and updated periodically,
