LCME Preliminary Findings
• New curriculum - Faculty highly responsive to
student feedback
• Comprehensive and proactive student counseling
services - highly responsive to student needs
• Admissions process widely praised by students
for patient-centeredness - strong factor in
choosing UF
• Faculty development and mentoring programs
• Accommodations made for space constraints –
New ed. bldg. will address
LCME Preliminary Findings: Opportunities
• Diversity – programs in place – too early to assess
effectiveness
• New curriculum is incomplete – unable to
determine if program objectives have been
attained and competencies realized
• Observation of core clinical skills (history &
physical exam) has not systematically occurred in
each required clerkship – AAMC GQ
• Timeliness of clerkship grades
Diversity: A Commitment to Inclusion
