Undergraduate Medical Education

SOM Education Governance

 

Curriculum Committee (Active Aug 2007)
The committee shall function to design, develop, and oversee the undergraduate medical education (UME) curriculum. It shall develop and periodically review four year goals and objectives for the curriculum and determine the timing of the curriculum.  The committee will coordinate responses to LCME recommendations, monitor trends in medical education, formulate major education policies and recommend for faculty vote, review existing policies and revise as needed, and review and act on evaluation and outcomes data. The committee will participate in due process activities as described in policies.  The Chair of the Curriculum Committee will appoint subcommittees which include individuals (faculty, staff, students or community representatives) who may not be members of the Curriculum Committee.  This will include subcommittees representing major aspects of the curriculum (e.g. pre-clinical curriculum, clerkships). Motions are passed by simple majority of voting members, including electronic votes as needed, at the chair's discretion.
