Planning for People & Place
The School of Medicine utilizes an integrated planning strategy in our quest for building campus connections. Integrated planning allows for improved physical, social, research, clinical and academic connections, all of which are essential to improving the campus community experience for visitors, patients, students and employees.
Advancing our Mission
We are working to enhance education and create interdisciplinary connections, supporting new research and innovation, expanding clinical care while improving access and achieving quality health outcomes and curriculum renewal.
