We also supervise the Commitment to Underserved People (CUP) program, the Rural Health Professions Program (RHPP), our clinical skills lab, student assessment and program evaluation, faculty instructional development, and Medical Humanities program. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our medical student curriculum and the wide array of extracurricular activities that we offer.
