Engaging Expertise for School of Medicine Academic Activities
The School of Medicine is developing the curriculum for Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) Program and Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) Program, which begin in 2025. Building on the generalist perspectives and skills of primary care, we need to engage interprofessional and interdisciplinary expertise to provide key competencies needed to train the medical students and residents who will become your future physicians.
Help shape the next generation of physicians by contributing your unique expertise to the opportunities listed below.
