Paving the Path to 2030
College of Medicine Strategic Plan Overview
Paving the Path to 2030 is the University of Saskatchewan College of Medicine’s guide for the next five years. This plan outlines our shared commitments, focus areas and goals that will help us shape a healthier future.
Vision: Where we are going
Rooted in Saskatchewan communities, we shape a healthier future.
Mission: What we do, how we do it, and for whom
Our college cultivates the health and well-being of all peoples of Saskatchewan through service, education, scholarship and research that matter.
Values: Who we are
Our college is guided by a set of core values: accountability, belonging, collaboration, curiosity and well-being. These values define what is important to us and are demonstrated through our everyday actions and decisions.
Our Commitments
Focusing on our unique role as the College of Medicine for Saskatchewan, we foster strong, reciprocal relationships with communities and partners to enhance collaboration, relevance, and shared success across all our work.
We are committed to learning from the past and taking real steps toward fairness and respect. This means listening to Indigenous voices and actively responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action.
We pursue continuous improvement and innovation, using reflection and evidence to evolve and elevate our impact in education, research, and service.
We commit to providing equity of opportunity for all, deepening diversity across our college community and enhancing inclusivity and accessibility in our places of work and study.
We actively share our voices, experiences, and achievements to build understanding, pride, and connection within and beyond our college.
Our Focus Areas
Education
We are skilled, engaged educators and empowered learners making meaningful contributions in our fields and communities.
Research
We are a network excelling in innovation, research, scholarship and quality improvement.
Next Steps
As we move forward, we will continue to engage our college community — beginning with a survey to inform how we measure progress and ensure our goals align with our commitments.
College-level working groups, composed of content experts and champions from across the college, will develop implementation plans for each focus area. For every goal, they will identify progress metrics, recommend strategies and propose ways to demonstrate our commitments.
Departments and units will create aligned plans that contribute to the college-wide strategy, and we will share stories and updates with our partners and community throughout the process.
How We Got Here
Over the past year, we have connected with members of our college community to listen, learn, and gather your visions and hopes for the future.
We have heard from alumni, learners, faculty, staff, and leaders — and your insights have helped shape and will continue to inform this new plan.
