Vanderbilt University School of Medicine develops outstanding physicians, who are also leaders in health care, by offering a highly-personalized education. Our distinctive Curriculum 2.0 includes an enhanced focus on communication skills, individualized learning plans, and cultural competencies to meet the changing needs of health care.Acknowledging the explosion of information relative to medicine and the pervasive access to multiple information sources, an explicit goal of Curriculum 2.0 is to coach students in how to learn. Medicine is constantly evolving, we believe this is one of its greatest appeals as a career. Ours is a workplace in which every learner works and every worker learns. Curriculum 2.0 is designed to launch our students into a lifelong learning process that will extend well beyond their time on our campus. Vanderbilt graduates will be positioned to assume leadership roles in shaping the future of medicine.<br><br>Curriculum 2.0 is a responsive, agile system of lifelong learning. Our health care system is rapidly evolving and it's essential that we prepare our students with the skills necessary to adapt to that changing environment. Our innovative curriculum prepares students to succeed in the future by focusing on how to learn and teaching them to understand concepts and relations, as opposed to memorizing facts.<br><br>The ability for our students to individualize their curriculum is one of the highlights of Curriculum 2.0. Students tailor course selection based on the experiences they've had, what they might want to do with their career, and it works well for those that don't know what they want to do with their career. We offer the time and opportunity to explore and figure out what they want to do for the rest of their life.
