Dean's Message

Through interviews, surveys, and future-focused conversations, we heard from alumni, faculty, leaders, learners, and staff. These connections informed our new strategic plan, Paving Our Path to 2030, which will guide how we move forward as the College of Medicine for Saskatchewan.

I am extremely proud of our plan that was developed by our college community using a strength-based approach. The process was a way for people to engage, to contribute to our future direction, and to help make our college even better.

Over the next four years, our college will focus on people, education, and research—recognizing that a people-first approach is essential to reach our goals. Our new values define what is important to us and will be demonstrated by our everyday actions and decisions. In addition, we will be guided by commitments, which are woven through everything we do and ensure we are a College of Medicine that CARES (Connects; Advances ohpahotân | oohpaahotaan; Reflects and learns; Embeds equity diversity, inclusion and accessibility principles; and Shares our stories).  

One of our new commitments is sharing our stories. In this magazine, you will read stories about the experiences and achievements of our learners, faculty and staff. I urge you to look for opportunities to share your own voices—this helps build understanding, pride, and connection.

Our College of Medicine is making a meaningful impact on health and well-being in the province of Saskatchewan and beyond. This impact is only possible through collaboration and support from the university, the Government of Saskatchewan, our partners, and our individual and corporate donors. Thank you for being such an important part of our college and for walking this path with us.

Rooted in Saskatchewan communities, we shape a healthier future.
