The Faculty has the ultimate responsibility for all matters pertaining to the program of medical education. This responsibility for medical education is carried out through the Council on Medical Education. The Council consists of representatives elected from each department and several activities within the School of Medicine.
Representation is proportional to departmental size.
The Council meets monthly. The Chair of the Council on Medical Education is elected to a four-year term by the faculty at large. The Council is an independent body and is not part of the Office of the Dean. Thus, educational matters at the School of Medicine are under continuous review. Curricular and other matters are presented by the Executive Committee to the Council on Medical Education.
