Synopsis of the Learning Environment Committee

The Learning Environment Committee (LEC) was established in 2020 as a dean’s level committee to monitor and assess the learning environments of SGUSOM students, both in academic and clinical settings. The LEC is comprised of 21 total members, including the Chair, with representation from the basic sciences faculty, clinical faculty/administration, students, SGUSOM alumni in residency who teach SGU students, and clinical affiliates. The Chair of the LEC is the associate dean of Accreditation, Quality Assurance, and Strategic Planning. At a minimum, the LEC reports to the dean of the School of Medicine on a semi-annual basis and shares a report of its activities with the Curriculum Committee on an annual basis. LEC reports will include:

  1. Its findings, including trends, about the SOM learning environment
  2. A discussion of areas for potential remediation and areas of potential enhancement based on its findings
  3. A proposal for action plans based on its findings
