Colleagues and Friends

I am pleased to share with you the Department of Medicine Strategic Plan. This plan represents the synthesis of the engaged efforts of numerous departmental members, including faculty, staff, and trainees. Throughout this process, we have established a clear and refined vision of “Who we are, who we want to become, and how we get there.” In effect, the work defines our department’s culture. Moreover, we have defined a clear path forward and have highlighted the major objectives to be accomplished over the upcoming years.

This plan is meant to be a “living document” to be utilized not only for accountability, but also as a framework for continuous improvement. The document represents our commitment to ourselves, our communities, our patients, and our learners. In all that we do, we strive to promote health and healing, cure disease, and improve lives.

The strategic plan details our goals in Clinical Care, Research, Education, Professional Development, as well as, Diversity and Inclusion. The Department of Medicine has a rich and storied history, which serves as a foundation for our journey forward.

I am proud of the accomplishments of our members and the committed engagement of all who will help us achieve our goals.
