UAG School of Medicine Office of Medical Education:
Comprehensive Support for Your Academic Success

At UAG School of Medicine, our Office of Medical Education (OMED) is committed to guiding you through every step of your academic journey. We offer a comprehensive strategy that combines teaching basic sciences and clinical skills, delivered by a talented faculty dedicated to helping you develop critical thinking skills essential for medical practice.

 

In collaboration with the Student Success Office and International Student Affairs Office, we’ve created a student-centered and holistic approach to ensure you reach your goals of becoming a well-rounded physician. Our focus is to prepare you for residency training in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, equipping you with the knowledge and experience needed for success in global healthcare.

SYSTEMS-
BASED
PRACTICE
At UAG School of Medicine, we prepare students to see the bigger picture in healthcare.
Our training emphasizes not only understanding science but also knowing how to navigate and improve the systems that deliver care.
Practice-Based
Learning &
Improvement
Healthcare is constantly evolving, and so are our students.
At UAG, they’re encouraged to keep learning, ask questions, and always aim to improve. We introduce them to quality improvement practices early on, so they’ll graduate ready to grow alongside the field.
PATIENT
CARE

 
Our students learn how to provide care that’s not only effective but also empathetic. We equip future doctors to understand the unique needs of each patient, promoting wellness and healing that goes beyond the clinical setting.
MEDICAL
KNOWLEDGE

 
UAG’s curriculum dives deep into both the foundational and advanced sciences, all with a real-world twist. We make sure students see how all the theory connects to actual patient care, so by the time they graduate, they’re ready to tackle real-world healthcare challenges with confidence.
INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION
 

Enhancing medical education at UAG by connecting students with local communities for a deeper understanding of patient care while fostering interprofessional collaboration to prepare future physicians for integrated healthcare teams.

ETHICS & PROFFESIONALISM
 
We teach our students to practice medicine with respect, compassion, and integrity. It’s about putting patients first, respecting their privacy, and meeting them where they are, no matter what their background or needs.
INTERPERSONAL &
COMMUNICATIONS
SKILLS
We know that being a great doctor means more than just knowing medicine – it’s about building relationships. At UAG, students hone the skills to communicate clearly with patients, their families, and their healthcare teams, so everyone’s on the same page for the best care possible.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
 
We know healthcare goes beyond the clinic, so we encourage students to actively engage with their communities. Through real-world experience, they learn to address community health needs and incorporate patient perspectives into their care approach.
With these core competencies, UAG prepares students to thrive in any healthcare environment. We’re all about helping them become physicians who are skilled, adaptable, and deeply invested in making a difference – ready for anything from residency and beyond.
