Dean's Message
It is my belief that every medical student comes to medical school with a dream for the future. At the University of Central Florida we will help each student build that dream from day one. We seek students with a pioneering spirit and a sense of curiosity and inquiry – who wish to make a difference in the lives of others.
Our students will establish close lifelong relationships with faculty and classmates, and make history leaving a legacy for all who will follow. We have created the curriculum of tomorrow—integrated, system-based, individualized, and using state-of-the-art animation technology effectively as a tool for learning. We seek extraordinary students for an unparalleled experience in a city where dreams come true. The power to make a difference and effect change lies in those who have passion, compassion, ambition, and courage. UCF seeks individuals who are driven to be part of something greater than themselves. This spirit describes our faculty and our culture.
I went to medical school because I had a dream. With the teaching experience of our faculty, the wisdom of our community leaders, and our students’ inquisitive minds, we will be an innovative program that promises to be a model for medical education in the 21st century. We invite you to explore and see why UCF’s College of Medicine is like no other place to build your dream.
