Committee Structure & Membership

What is the Cincinnati Medicine Committee Structure?

Cincinnati Medicine education committee structure guides and makes decisions concerning the medical curriculum in alignment with the program objectives of UCCOM and LCME Standards.

LCME Curricular Management Committee (Standard 8.1)

A medical school has in place an institutional body that oversees the medical education program as a whole and has responsibility for the overall design, management, integration, evaluation, and enhancement of a coherent and coordinated medical curriculum. 

The Role of Medical Students

The continuous improvement of the curriculum depends upon the student representatives to solicit, organize, and deliver feedback from the student body to ensure that the students' learning needs and interests are accurately reflected in any change in curricular design and implementation.

How It All Works

Our committee structure framework provides opportunities for continuous improvement, innovation, and scholarly activities to better prepare our graduates for the challenges 21st Century Clinicians face.

Key strengths:

• Entrust Faculty 
• Creates a model that ensures alignment of the Cincinnati Medicine curriculum with the UCCOM program objectives, LCME Standards, and AAMC EPA's.
• Encourages collaboration across all medical education programs in CoM (BMS, UME, and BME)
• Foster Interprofessional collaborations
• Solicits student input
