MD program Graduation Competencies and Educational Program Objectives
Upstate Medical University developed the Graduation Competencies and Educational Program Objectives (GCEPOs) to be used as the basis for all courses and clerkships.
These objectives for the medical education program serve as statements of what students are expected to learn or accomplish during the course of medical school at Upstate. They are statements of the items of knowledge, skills, behaviors, and attitudes that medical students are expected to exhibit as evidence of their achievement and as a basis for the next stage of their training. They are the Graduation Competencies and Educational Program Objectives (GCEPOs)
