Faculty Planning and Leadership
In 2010, the Faculty Curriculum Committee (FCC) appointed a task force, led by Brenda Roman, M.D., Assoociate Dean for Medical Education, to define the key components for a new curriculum and provide guideposts for moving forward. In 2011, the FCC created the WrightCurriculum Steering Committee to commence the detailed planning and development for the entering class of the 2017-18 academic year (Class of 2021).
As of June 15, 2017 the following faculty and students serve on the committees responsible for building and evaluating the WrightCurriculum.
