Values
Our core values are derived from our purpose and our purpose from a commitment to our patients. This commitment influences everything from our curriculum design to the high expectations we set for academic excellence and to the requirements for thoughtful self-reflection.
We believe that keeping the patient first and foremost will fuel a passion for learning and teaching medicine, and we are confident that if students remain connected to the purpose, they will find that the rewards outnumber the difficulties of a rigorous academic program and eventually, a demanding clinical practice.
