About the Faculty
Students are taught by 881 full-time faculty members in the basic and clinical sciences and 549 part-time teachers, most of whom are private practitioners of medicine or surgery. Students study the basic and clinical sciences in an integrated fashion throughout the four-year curriculum, which utilizes a variety of educational methods including small group, problem-based learning among others. The small class size of 120 students encourages free communication with classmates and faculty.
Core Teaching Faculty
The Core Teaching Faculty (CTF) was established to meet the educational goals of the WFUHS strategic plan, increase the capacity to accomplish the curriculum objectives, and to create a framework for advancing and rewarding the scholarship of teaching. There are currently 34 members from 14 departments throughout the medical school.
The vision of the Core Teaching Faculty is commitment to supporting an environment that enhances the educational experiences of students, fosters curricular innovation, and promotes and rewards educational contributions and scholarships.
