Office of Medical Education

At HWCOM, we are educating the next generation of physicians to be patient-centered, curious, self-directed, life-long learners, with a commitment to improve the quality of patient care and the health of our communities.

The Office of Medical Education (OME) is responsible for the medical education program. Led by the Associate Dean for Curriculum and Medical Education, the OME provides leadership in curriculum development, assessment and supports the coordination, administration, evaluation, and quality of the four-year medical education program.
