Current Student
Dear Dean [NAME],
As a student at [MEDICAL SCHOOL], I’m writing to request that our school completes the Social Mission Metrics Self-Assessment made available to all medical schools this year. It is very important to me for our school to make a positive impact on our surrounding community, and to become a doctor best equipped to treat my diverse patient population.
The success of my future career depends on the opportunities available to me while I am a student here. This assessment would give insight into any potential gaps in our curriculum and other factors that influence our social mission.
From my understanding, the Social Mission Alliance sent an email to all medical school Deans in the country inviting them to take the Social Mission Metrics Self-Assessment. I am requesting that our institution takes the time to fill this out and uses the resource given in the feedback report for any areas we might be lacking in.
In 2019 there were 83 medical schools that participated in this survey. While I don’t know which schools took the survey in 2019, I hope we can be included in the group that takes it in 2024.
Sincerely,
[NAME]
