Standard 1

Summary of committee charge

This committee will focus on the eight standards under Institutional Effectiveness which are used to evaluate if the dental school has a clearly stated purpose/mission statement; has a broad-based system of planning, evaluating and improving educational quality; and demonstrates its effectiveness through a formal and ongoing outcomes assessment process. Additionally, the school must demonstrate that it has sufficient financial resources to supports its mission, goals and objectives. The school must show that support from outside entities does not compromise its missions. It must be demonstrated that the final responsibility for curriculum development/approval, student selection, faculty selection and administrative matters rests within the sponsoring institution. The school must be part of an accredited institution of higher education and lastly, the school must show evidence of interaction with other components of higher education, health care education and/or health delivery systems.
