About TOP-ED Program
Program Vision, Goals, Scope and Objectives
Program Vision Heading link
UI COM’s campuses have operated their undergraduate medical education information technology management structures and related business processes relatively independently and organically for many years.
As we move toward the future, and in support of the College’s strategic plan, the campuses will need to operate in a more coordinated and aligned fashion with one another and with the University and UI system.
The scope of this alignment will include the domains of technology and business process as well as the supporting organizational structure and workforce alignment.
