Components of the Self-Student Report

1. Summarize the school's strengths and problem areas, and prioritize the latter.  Analyze changes that have occurred since the last survey visit.  Have new strengths or problems emerged?  Are changing conditions likely to cause problems in the near future?
2. Note major recommendations for the future.  How can strengths be maintained and the most pressing problems addressed?  Be brief but specific in describing actions that will need to be taken.

General

IS-1. Each medical school must engage in a planning process that sets the direction for the institution and results in measurable outcomes.[standard adopted March 2003; effective July 2004]

[annotation adopted June 2003] To assure ongoing vitality and successful adaptation to the rapidly changing environment of academic medicine, schools need to establish periodic or cyclical institutional planning processes and activities. Planning efforts that have proven successful in medical schools and other professional or business milieus typically involve the definition and periodic reassessment of both short-term and long-range goals for the successful accomplishment of institutional missions. By framing goals in terms of measurable outcomes wherever circumstances permit, a school can more readily track progress towards their achievement. The manner in which a school engages in institutional planning will vary according to available resources and local circumstances, but all schools should be able to document their vision, mission, and goals, evidence indicating their achievement, and strategies for periodic or ongoing reassessment of successes and unmet challenges.
