Mapping and Integration Committee Charge

Updated 10/2026

Introduction to Mapping & Integration

The UCSF School of Medicine Bridges Curriculum educates MD graduates to excel in the competencies needed by physicians and leaders committed to advancing health for all. To achieve this goal, the curriculum includes numerous themes, topics, and disciplines in three longitudinal threads (Foundational Sciences, Clinical and Systems Applications, Inquiry Innovation and Discovery), which are taught across three curricular phases (Foundations 1, Foundations 2, Career Launch). The Mapping and Integration (M&I) Committee was originally developed by Medical Education Leadership and the Committee on Curriculum and Education Policy (CCEP) to streamline communication amongst governance committees, to promote integration across the curriculum, and to help make decisions regarding existing and new content and curricular components.
