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.
