What is our goal?
At the UA College of Medicine – Tucson, the ultimate goal is to help medical students to become competent, reflective physicians who are responsive to health disparities and patient needs. We know this requires years of deliberate and concerted effort on the part of students and the clinical and basic science educators who guide them.
The aim of this website, then, is to offer resources and support for understanding the underlying concepts that support the teaching/learning relationship, successful strategies for teaching and assessment, and developing curriculum.
