Students play an active role in improving the College of Medicine - Phoenix’s medical education program by providing feedback on courses*, faculty, and physical spaces (both on campus and at clinical sites). Completing evaluations and surveys allows curriculum directors, deans, staff, and program evaluators to continuously review strengths of the program and help identify areas for improvement at the college. Some ways students can provide feedback include:
- End of course* evaluations, session, site, and faculty evaluations.
- Focus groups, curricular workgroups, curricular committees and subcommittees, and task forces.
- Year-end surveys, such as the AAMC Year 2 Questionnaire, AAMC Graduation Questionnaire, Annual Internal Accreditation Surveys, Independent Student Analysis (ISA) (completed during LCME survey visit self-study).
- Medical Student Government representatives.
- Direct discussion with faculty and/or leadership.
Student feedback is valued and we constantly work to incorporate suggestions into our efforts whenever possible. We are excited to share some examples of how student input has made a difference!
Course* = Any component of the curriculum where a grade is earned.
