Faculty committees and council

Their purpose is to help ensure that the school’s activities are carried out in compliance with university policies as well as with state and federal law.

Officers and National Council

The university’s and medical school’s boards and officers include strategic and administrative leadership.

Department heads and program deans

The school’s three allied health programs and 21 academic departments support the school’s three-part mission of conducting outstanding patient care, education and research.
