Mission Statement
The University of Florida College of Medicine has the responsibility to provide health care to the referral community it serves and the obligation to prepare physicians to independently provide compassionate and skillful care in their own community.
This responsibility and obligation provides our mission: to educate students and physicians in the humanistic, scientific and technical principles of medicine; to provide the environment and faculty to make important biomedical discoveries; and to deliver the highest quality health care to the patients we serve.
Learning is the common element of all parts of this mission. The College of Medicine intends to help future physicians and physician assistants learn to care for patients; help future scientists learn to discover new knowledge; and help residents and clinical faculty continuously learn to provide the best possible health care to the patients we serve. The College strives to be a leader in developing new and better ways to teach, learn, and evaluate outcomes. The students, staff and faculty take pride in our accomplishments and look to the future with enthusiasm and optimism.
The Office of Educational Affairs oversees and provides administration support for all education activities of the College of Medicine
