The Faculty of Medicine’s strategic plan, Grounded in Excellence 2024-2027, takes a retrospective and prospective look at what we have accomplished and where we are  in relation to Destination Excellence, our 2018-2023 strategic plan.

In Grounded in Excellence, we focus on our achievements and define new future-looking objectives that underpin the aspirations articulated in Destination Excellence. We unpack “improving lives” as an ultimate desired outcome, to more tangibly define the various discernible impacts that the Faculty of Medicine wishes to bring about. We also explore beneath the surface, identifying specific capabilities and capacities that ground us and give rise to these ultimate benefits. A visual guide in the appendix shows how various elements in Destination Excellence have been carried forward into the new strategic plan.

We chose the image of an iceberg to organize and communicate our aims for the upcoming three years. An iceberg is a symbol of our geography and our connection to land and sea. It is a majestic structure that is stabilized and underpinned by tremendous strength and resilience beneath the surface. Similarly, at the Faculty of Medicine, what lies beneath the surface – the talent and dedication of our people, our unwavering commitment to excellence in everything that we do and intentional investments in our infrastructure and operations, have and will continue to lead to impressive results and tangible benefits for our communities and the world.

As we move forward with the plan, we will provide further information on the implementation progress. We look forward to working together to achieve the strategic directions and goals of Grounded in Excellence 2024-2027.
