Transforming the Future of Medical Education
EDUCATION: Forge Your Path
For many, the path to—and through—medical school is daunting. It can feel like an uncertain, winding trail with offshoots running in all directions. At Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine, we help students complete the journey, guiding them from their communities, through medical training, and out into the world. We create learning paths that prepare them to serve the greatest needs of our community. A few highlights include:
- PROMIS2U (Pre-Matriculation Readiness for Ongoing Medical Student Success)
- Rural Primary Care Track
- RUUTE (Rural & Underserved Utah Training Experience)
- TRUE (Tribal, Rural, & Urban Underserved Medical Program)
RESEARCH: Discover New Trails
Just as countless trails lead adventurers to breathtaking overlooks, our research programs carve paths to new frontiers in medicine. We cultivate this pioneering mindset to discover new knowledge across all stages of education, from K-12 to higher ed, and with our faculty. That's because we believe that curiosity, innovation, and research have the power to transform lives. These programs are designed to unlock potential and inspire the next generation of leaders in medical research:
INNOVATION: Scale New Heights
Sometimes the routes we’ve created need to be reimagined, and that’s the mission at the Center for Medical Innovation (CMI)—to find a better way. Here, innovation begins with a question: "Wouldn’t it be great if...?" Then, students, faculty, and entrepreneurs make it happen. It’s not about inventing for the sake of invention; it’s about creating medical devices and health technologies that solve problems and make an impact.
- Center for Medical Innovation
- 199 startups launched
- 186 patents filed
- 4,447 publications in 2023
- Bench 2 Bedside competition
- 136 participating students
- $80K+ milestone funding awarded
- 21 new patents filed
- 100+ professional mentors and judges
COMMUNITY: Expand Your Horizons
Utah was the fastest growing state between 2010-2020. As Utah evolves, so must our connection to the community and the patients we serve. One of the ways we do this is by expanding our classroom into the most underserved communities of our state. These pathways are not one-way. They create a flow for our communities and students to connect and learn from one another.
WELLNESS: Light Your Way
Just as hikers use poles to steady their steps and headlamps to light a dark ascent, we are committed to equipping our students, residents, and faculty with tools to help light the way and ease the journey through sometimes rugged terrain. We want everyone to know not only that they belong, but also that they have the support they need to navigate through tough and challenging times.

Rediscovering the Joys in Academic Medicine
Rising burnout. “Quiet quitting.” The “great resignation.” “Don’t think of me as a ‘provider.’” These are some of the terms we in academic medicine have become accustomed to hearing.
Rolling Out a New Medical School Curriculum
With a new mission-driven MD program and an overhaul of curriculum at the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine, success is now driven in large part by faculty, students, and leadership.
Is Climate Change a Health Care Issue?
The well-documented impacts of climate change on human health are getting worse—and academic medicine cannot improve the health of people everywhere if their institutions are contributing to the problem.
