Education at the College of Medicine
The College offers a variety of educational opportunities including a curriculum leading to a medical degree, a medical science program referred to as the Interdisciplinary Program in Biomedical Sciences leading to a Ph.D. or a M.S. degree, and joint degree programs for both M.D. and Ph.D. degrees. Also part of the College of Medicine is the Physician's Assistant Program.
In addition to educating medical and graduate students, the College plays an important role in the continuing education of resident physicians and fellows through its collaboration with the UF Faculty Group Practice Clinics and UF&Shands Hospitals. The College offers residencies in 56 medical specialties and sub-specialties as well as clinical and research fellowships. Continuing education and development of practicing physicians is offered by the Continuing Medical Education (CME) Office overseen by Associate Dean, Marvin A. Dewar, M.D., JD.
The College of Medicine Office of Educational Affairs which is lead by the Interim Senior Associate Dean, Kyle E. Rarey, Ph.D., oversees and provides administrative support for all education activities at the College.
Further supporting the education mission of the College, the Office for Program Evaluation and Faculty Development promotes the strengthening of faculty's instructional and evaluative skills as well as the College's educational programs themselves and fostering the highest scholarship standards at both levels.
