Office of Program Evaluation and Accreditation
Mission Statement
The Office of Program Evaluation and Accreditation (OPEA) supports the mission of the Charles E.

Objectives
- Support the goals, objectives, and outcomes of the programs, departments, and offices within the college.

Continuous Quality Improvement

Continuous Quality Improvement
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is an essential process that drives systematic improvement and helps ensure the integrity of program effectiveness and student outcomes. At the College of Medicine, we strive to implement thoughtful, data-driven initiatives that will not only improve our curricular activities but also align with accreditation standards to enhance the educational experience for both our students and faculty.
