Curriculum Renewal: Curious Questioning Teams

We will begin to form our Curious Questioning (CQ) teams at the Fall Retreat. Through a series of conversations, CQ teams will work together to perform an analysis of our current curriculum, and propose initiatives and changes that will prepare our medical students for tomorrow's healthcare industry and inform the school's mission and vision into 2035 and beyond. The full process will incorporate feedback from people in every area of the educational program, including graduates, current students, faculty, staff, patients and other stakeholders.
