Council on Curriculum
The goal of the Council on Curriculum is to provide centralized oversight of a coordinated curriculum that supports the mission of the School of Medicine. The Council is responsible for the design and management of the core curriculum leading to the M.D. degree as well as for the review and approval of elective courses. It approves student petitions for changes in curricular plans and as necessary oversees the development of curricular prescriptions for students with special learning needs or interests.
Members of this council include basic and clinical scientist faculty, docents, social science and humanities faculty, and students. The bylaws ensure wide representation of medical fields and disciplines relevant to the practice of medicine. The chair of the Council on Curriculum is Stefanie Ellison, M.D.
