Abstract
The university chancellor, with blessings from the Board of Trustees, initiated a comprehensive, two-year, university-wide strategic planning process that included the medical school. A large and prestigious national consulting firm was hired to help, and there followed a broad, open, 18-month process, out of which emerged a strategic plan with components for each school or college, including the medical school. Several members of the medical school faculty and the then dean of medicine served on key committees established as parts of the planning process that led up to the strategic plan itself.
