The Office of Curricular Affairs oversees the day-to-day operations of the M.D. program of the Saint Louis University School of Medicine.
Our office provides executive oversight of the entire SLU M.D. program. This includes the creation of schedules, selecting course directors and faculty to teach, monitoring integration and outcomes of the curriculum, administering assessments, and providing support to the committees that oversee and guide the curriculum. Our office also maintains the academic policies for the M.D. program.
The Office of Curricular Affairs coordinates accreditation site visits from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, and compiles relevant data and documentation related to the maintenance of accreditation.
