Assessment and Evaluation

The Duke School of Medicine Assessment and Evaluation team is the institutional research arm of Duke School of Medicine. Our mission is to provide on-going analysis and research on Duke's medical school curriculum, courses, departments and programs in efforts to improve student learning at Duke.

The office works collaboratively with other offices and constituencies to address questions raised by students, faculty, and administrators. This collaboration involves development of project goals, measuring instruments (such as on-line surveys and focus groups), statistical analysis, and reporting mechanisms.

Faculty

Our office does not regularly disseminate students’ admissions biodemographic, enrollment, or grade information. If you are developing an assessment plan or project that would be enhanced through the integration of student data, please contact md_assessment@duke.edu to schedule an appointment to discuss your assessment objectives. Alternatively, if you have an immediate need for student information please consult the School of Medicine’s policy regarding data requests.

Students
