Presentations

The Division of Evaluation presents evaluation findings about the medical curriculum. The presentations are typically made for the Committee on Curriculum and Academic Policy and the Faculty Senate. However, presentations summarizing evaluation findings are also made for Course Directors (as they consider the data to refine their courses), Clerkship Directors (as they revise their curricula), and administrators in Stanford University Hospital.
