 Bruce T. Liang, M.D., F.A.C.C.
Interim Dean, School of Medicine
Welcome to the UConn School of Medicine website.
The information on our site was designed to provide prospective
students with relevant information and answer some of the
questions you may have about applying to the UConn School of
Medicine.
As such, the site introduces you to the
experiences of our enrolled students. What prompted them to
apply to UConn, and then to matriculate? Are they glad they did?
Do they believe the School is preparing them well for their
careers in medicine? In what way, if any, would they improve the
School? Do they feel as though they are central or peripheral
figures in the activities of an academic health center? Are
their interactions with faculty positive? What kind of
intellectual and social environment exists at UConn? How do the
students interact with each other and with the rest of the
Health Center family?
Our curriculum emphasizes Problem-Based
Learning, chronic care, ambulatory experiences, disease
prevention, rehabilitation, problems of aging, specialty and
subspecialty training, and public health issues. It seeks to
integrate basic science and clinical concepts throughout all
four years of the educational process. It attempts to create a
physician who is not only skilled in the diagnosis and treatment
of disease but who can communicate with patients and is highly
selective and efficient in the use of diagnostic tests, as well
as informed and sensitive about ethical issues in medicine.
In short, our curriculum is aimed at educating
the new physician. The training our doctors receive will help
them adapt and thrive in the face of further, inevitable changes
in health care. They are doctors who are consummate medical
professionals, educators and researchers.
At the UConn School of Medicine, we believe our
school will serve you well whether you embark upon a career in
clinical medicine, biomedical research, or teaching.
I invite you to visit us and experience the
School of Medicine and the UConn community firsthand.
