The Medical School Objectives Project (MSOP) is an AAMC initiative designed to reach general consensus within the medical education community on the skills, attitudes, and knowledge that graduating medical students should possess. Documents from Phase I and II are available from the Medical School Objectives Project website and through the Library catalog. While Phase I is contained within one document, Phase II is published in a series called Contemporary Issues in Medicine Reports.
MSOP’s goals are to set forth program-level learning objectives that medical school deans and administrations can use as a guide for reviewing their medical student education programs (Phase I) and to suggest strategies that they might use to implement agreed-upon changes in their education programs (Phase II).
