is to provide the best possible education and training in health sciences,
preparing students from around the world to practice high quality and

designed to ensure graduates have the ability to:
- Engage in productive professional partnerships with care team members to
acquire, evaluate and communicate information;
- Apply critical reasoning to medical care and reduce reliance on didactic
educational methods;
- Apply understanding of illness to its prevention, identification, and
management, and to the promotion of maintenance of health;
- Apply understanding of the practice of medicine in a community or
population;
- Take responsibility for personal learning and the development of
continuing education skills.
The mission includes redefining medical education so that it is relevant to the needs of society today and in the future. The practice of medicine has always been full of change and the graduating student must be able to participate in and adapt to the current science.
IUHS encourages its graduates to participate in lifelong learning and the
pursuit of evidence-based medical practice supporting advances in patient care,
community service, research and education.
