Guide to Institutional Self Study:
Describe how institutional priorities are set. Evaluate the success of institutional planning efforts and discuss how planning has contributed to the accomplishment of the school’s academic purpose, research prospects, and goals of the clinical enterprise. (Note that very often, the questions found in the Guide to Institutional Self Study (GISS) do not map perfectly back to a specific standard. In fact, often times, the questions found in the GISS are intentionally broader to elicit wider discussion within the committees.)
