In the following competencies and objectives, diversity is understood to include race, sex, ethnicity, culture, ability, disability, socioeconomic status, education level, language, religion, spiritual practices, sexual orientation, gender identity, geographic region, age, country of origin, education, and genetics.

This policy outlines the requirement for compliance monitoring and obtaining approval from the Tucson Educational Policy Committee (TEPC) regarding curriculum changes within the undergraduate medical education program.

This approval process ensures that proposed curriculum modifications— documented in a Course Oversight & Yearly Operational Tracking Evaluation (COYOTE) Form—align with education goals and facilitates monitoring compliance with accreditation standards and medical education program policy and guidelines.
