The committee serves as a platform for students to collaboratively assess, enhance, and innovate the academic and clinical training experience while ensuring a structured, feedback-driven approach to curriculum and facility development.

By integrating perspectives from students across various programs and phases, the committee contributes to a dynamic and inclusive educational program, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and accountability.
