Academic Affairs

The Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) provides oversight of the education curriculum, educational and clinical research activities, and faculty affairs. It provides the infrastructure and processes by which the faculty define educational objectives for medical students. The HWCOM faculty define expectations through the Curriculum Committee, which communicates with the Associate Dean for Curriculum and Medical Education for this purpose. Academic advising, student promotions and advancement, and assessment of professionalism fall under the aegis of Academic Affairs.
