In the summer of 2020, the faculty voted overwhelmingly to adopt the recommendations of the Curriculum Design Team, which resulted in the new I-EXPLORE (Integrated Explorative Patient and Learner ORiented Education) curriculum. This result was preceded by two-months of discussion and consideration of the Committee on Educational Policy (CEP), who then collaborated with the Faculty Executive Committee (FEC) to host four town halls before presenting the proposal to all faculty.

Under the direction of FEC and CEP, the Curriculum Implementation Team (CIT) launched in the Fall of 2020 and is responsible for steering the faculty workgroups representing the new courses and longitudinal elements of I-EXPLORE. CIT’s initial focus is on course organization and content distribution and will later move to assist workgroups with content development. The first phases of I-EXPLORE, the first and third year of the curriculum, will be implemented in the summer of 2021.
