​VISION AND MISSION

What is Social Mission?

The social mission of a health professions school is the contribution of the school in its mission, programs, and the performance of its graduates, faculty and leadership in advancing health equity and addressing the health disparities of the society in which it exists.

Vision

Health professions education in which social mission is present, prominent, and valued to drive health equity and improved health for individuals, families, and communities.
