Reports
The Office of Assessment & Evaluation, for University of Minnesota Medical School, collects a variety of programmatic data; including individual course/clerkship performance, learner outcomes and achievement, and the overall success of the medical education program. A collection of an assortment of data via a range of sources and methods is essential for creating a landscape narrative of the entire program.
One attempt to communicate these data to faculty, students and administrators involved in the education process is through an Annual State of Education Report. This annual report, which is made available in the first quarter of each calendar year consists of universal quantitative and qualitative analysis of distinct components of our program, for both Twin Cities and Duluth campuses.
The table below includes descriptions of the sections of the annual report.
