Please take the 2023 student survey – find it in your inbox – to help our school
Here’s a request from Sara Kim, Ph.D., associate dean for Educational Quality Improvement: “The medical school is asking you to complete a five-minute survey as part of the school’s accreditation requirement. The purpose of the survey is described in the survey link that’s been emailed to you. Your campus faculty are also making time available for you to complete the survey during the block with snacks provided.”
“With your help, we are hoping to achieve a response rate of 80 percent by the deadline, Friday, Nov. 3.”
