Memorial’s Medical School is moving from strength to strength. Building on our full accreditation in 2007, we are continuing a period of intense evaluation and renewal of our MD Program. Our strategic planning retreat in 2006 highlighted this opportunity as a top priority for our Faculty.

 

A Medical Education Leadership Team has been established to lead the work of curriculum renewal, hand-in-hand with our Undergraduate Medical Studies Committee. This active process will be informed by needs analysis, best practices, and input from students, graduates, staff, faculty, healthcare partners, and experts. Your participation will be vital as we explore the leading edge of curriculum development, including enhanced patient-centred, case-based learning and optimized interactive educational technology. The renewed program will increase its emphasis on geriatrics and genetics, and on other regional and emerging health care needs. Our students will benefit from increased exposure to the rich learning experiences available in rural and remote parts of our province.

 

Please join in and help to develop a “better than the best” curriculum!
