Outcomes of the school’s strategic plan are monitored through a process driven by the dean’s executive leadership team. The dean’s executive leadership team holds weekly meetings to discuss and monitor elements of the strategic plan, in the context of current and future medical school operations and academic progress, with input from a number of data sources. For example, the UME and GME programs have review processes where overall progress on educational and teaching outcomes are annually monitored. Similarly, the research and resource missions are also regularly monitored, with annual reports given to the executive committee and the general faculty. Feedback from and to stakeholders is also provided via the appropriate leadership team members. The dean provides an annual report summarizing key elements of the school’s progress on its strategic plan to the UHM provost, which is available on this webpage.
