In January 2011, the College of Medicine began a significant strategic planning initiative. With the help of the entire College of Medicine community, Dean Sam Shomaker has developed a single page that includes goals and aspirations that everyone in the organization can read, understand and relate to.

The College of Medicine is intent on creating and maintaining a Culture of Excellence. Achievement of plan initiatives will create momentum to achievement of excellence.

The College of Medicine Five Key Planning Pillars are:

• Teaching and Learning (PDF) In all that we do, we endeavor to become the best medical school in Texas.
• Primary Care and Rural Medicine (PDF) We train the workforce Texas needs.
• Diversity (PDF) We train a workforce that mirrors the population it serves.
• Interdisciplinary Research (PDF) We foster partnerships that create a whole greater than the sum of its parts.
• Financial Stability and Diversity (PDF) We diversify revenue and manage expenses to maximize the benefit to our constituents.
