As required by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accreditation body, we guide program improvement through evaluating the effectiveness of the educational program in an ongoing manner using students evaluations of their courses and faculty, and documenting the extent to which our curriculum objectives have been met (LCME Standards ED-46, ED-47: For more information on LCME education standards visit http://www.lcme.org/standard.htm )
Educational Evaluations also provides expertise in designing program and curricular evaluation, designing evaluation and assessment instruments and implementing online and paper evaluations. In addition we provide consultation services for the evaluative sections of education grants. Work is prioritized for the core School of Medicine undergraduate medical education curriculum.
Educational Data services provide consulting on data gathering for educational
