College of Medicine Organizational Chart12
AccreditationsLiaison Committee on Medical Education AccreditationNumerous organizations and associations are involved in the voluntary regulation of medical educationin the United States. The primary accreditation organization for undergraduate medical education is theLiaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). The Liaison Committee on Medical Education(www.lcme.org) is the nationally recognized accrediting authority for medical education programsleading to the M.D. degree in U.S. and Canadian medical schools. The LCME is jointly sponsored by theAssociation of American Medical Colleges and the American Medical Association. All state licensingboards in the United States require graduation from an LCME-accredited school to be eligible forlicensure as an allopathic physician.The LCME has a three-step process for granting accreditation to new medical schools: preliminaryaccreditation granted prior to recruiting the charter class of students (granted to UCF College ofMedicine on February 5, 2008); provisional accreditation, granted during the second year of operationof the Charter class (granted to UCF College of Medicine on June 20, 2011); and full accreditation,granted on February 11, 2013, during the fourth year of the Charter class. The next reaccreditation visitis scheduled for 2017-2018.13
Medical Education that Creates OpportunityThe M.D. Program learning experience at UCF is a unique and exciting blend of state-of-the arttechnology, virtual patients, clinical and laboratory experiences, research, facilitator-directed smallgroup sessions, and interactive didactic lectures. Classes include live patient interaction. Innovativesimulation and animation experiences have been developed explicitly for the study of medicine thatintegrate and reinforce the curriculum. From basic science concepts to clinical diagnoses andtreatments, the Clinical Skills and Simulation Center enhances and complements learning.The M.D. Program curriculum at UCF fully integrates basic and clinical sciences across all four years. Thefirst two years of the curriculum are structured into modules with the first year focusing on afundamental understanding of how the various basic science disciplines relate to the normal humanbody. The second year takes an organ system-based approach and applies the basic knowledge of thefirst year to the study of clinical disease, pathological processes and treatment. In concert with theseaspects of medicine the curriculum presents psychosocial issues, cultural differences, communicationskills, and physical diagnosis skills as they relate to the different topics in medicine.Educational experiences throughout the curriculum are designed to enhance the learning environment,emphasize student-centered learning, application and synthesis of information, and foster anappreciation of life-long learning. All modalities of learning are incorporated into the curriculumincluding interactive lectures using audience response systems, simulation, Web-based activities andclinical cases, team-based learning, and standardized patient encounters.Clinical experiences occur throughout the first two years in the Practice of Medicine. Students work withcommunity preceptors in a variety of settings, including primary care, specialty practices and hospitalbased practices. These clinical experiences provide students the opportunity to observe the applicationof their studies to real patients, as they gain experience in communication, history taking, physical examskills, and cultural competency.An exciting component of the curriculum at UCF is best described by the Dean as the “Keep the DreamAlive” module. This Focused Individual Research Experience (FIRE) module continues throughout thefirst two years. The scope of these projects is limited only by the student’s imagination, and may includeevery aspect from bench to clinical research, quality of care, hospitality in medicine, quality of life,disease prevention, legal aspects of medicine, and more. Each student works with a mentor to developan individualized project or area of study that focuses on the student’s unique interest in medicine.The third and fourth years of the curriculum are devoted to clinical experience through clerkships,selectives, and electives. Fundamental knowledge from the first two years is reinforced throughlectures, simulations, journal clubs, and conferences during the six core clerkships.14
Overall, the four-year medical curriculum at UCF is designed to fully integrate basic sciences and clinicalmedicine, give students an appreciation of cultural diversity and the need for sensitivity in treatingpatients, foster professionalism in all interactions, and ignite a passion for lifelong learning.15
