Data Registry at the School of Medicine

- Identify areas of curricular success and those requiring improvement.
- Contribute broader understanding of teaching and learning in medicine.
- Examine curriculum delivery in order to maintain quality standards and to ensure compliance with accreditation/licensure requirements.

The data registry consists of:
- De-identified, longitudinal database of learning, performance, quality assurance, and practice assessments of ǿմý SOM students;
- Student outcomes data and curriculum data
