THE EXCEPTIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE (ELE)

We value the community and relationships formed with patients, students,

faculty and our education partners that together create a culture of

learning, kindness, respect, support and professionalism

that will advance health for patients across the State of Utah,

the Intermountain West and society at large.

RELATIONSHIPS, COMMUNITY, DIVERSITY ANDPROFESSIONALISM Professional development requires mastery of

technical knowledge and skills but also requires

significant relational experiences and a

commitment to fostering growth within a diverse

professional community.

EXCELLENCEMedical education should aim for beyond competence

towards excellence.

LEARNING AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT Medical education is not a static entity, but an

adaptive, dynamic system.

PARTNERSHIP The student is a capable partner, capable of managing

their own learning with guidance.

STUDENT CENTERED The ideal UME learning experience is at the

confluence of patient-centeredness and

student-centeredness.
