Curriculum Governance

The School of Medicine curriculum committee structure (see below) includes the Committee on Curriculum and Educational Policy (CCEP), an Executive Committee, a Student Committee, and four subcommittees.

The Committee on Curriculum and Educational Policy is charged by the UCSF SOM Faculty Council, according to UCSF Academic Bylaws Appendix IV to “provide oversight for the continuum of medical education at the UCSF school of medicine. This includes direct oversight and accountability for undergraduate medical education. The committee shall establish educational policy, plan future directions for educational programs and environments, evaluate educational programs, and promote educational innovations and scholarship.”

Each subcommittee performs a specific function within the curriculum or oversees one phase of the curriculum. Student representatives are members of all subcommittees.
