The Worcester campus is one of five University of Massachusetts campuses, and one of 28 free-standing, university-based academic health sciences campuses in the U.S. This diverse learning environment pro-vides our students with the evolving needs of medical education, advances in the medical sciences, and the health care challenges facing diverse communities and populations. The school`s curricular programs provide a wide variety of educational opportunities and learning modalities, including lectures, small group sessions, computer-aided instruction, study abroad, service learning, community-based education, volunteer and community service, independent study and research opportunities. While traditional medical education models consist primarily of departmentally managed courses and clerkships, stressing retention of facts and specific knowledge, the school`s process for curriculum reform and ongoing renewal has established an integrated model of curriculum design, with comprehensive integration and coordination across a four-year plan of study. The curriculum itself is the result of ongoing evaluation, review and renewal, with more than 20 curriculum committees, faculty groups and student-centered focus groups involved in its initial development. Its basic mission is to serve the people of the commonwealth through national distinction in health sciences education, research, public service and clinical care. The University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) was founded by proclamation of the governor and an act of the legislature to meet the health care needs of the residents of the commonwealth.
