Competencies at IUSM Evansville

Competency Curriculum

In order to ensure that our educational process more accurately reflects our commitment to graduating caring and competent physicians, Indiana University School of Medicine initiated a competency curriculum in 1999. The first class of students to enter under a four-year competency curriculum graduated in 2003. The newly established curriculum consists of nine competencies. Assessment and certification of achievement of the nine competencies is sequentially integrated into each year of the curriculum culminating with a competency transcript upon graduation.
