You Said, We Did

Your feedback. Our Action.

The You Said, We Did (YSWD) initiative demonstrates how student feedback directly shapes the MD Program. Each year, we gather valuable insights from surveys, evaluations, and student representatives, and turn that feedback into meaningful action.

To ensure transparency and accountability, we publish two YSWD reports annually. These student-informed reports highlight data-driven changes implemented across the MD Program covering areas such as Admissions and Recruitment, Financial Aid and Awards, Foundations, Clerkship, Learning Environments, Career Advising, Assessments, Evaluations Feedback, and Teacher Performance.

By sharing these updates, we aim to:

Show the impact of your feedback on program improvements.

Emphasize the importance of continued participation in evaluations and surveys.

Strengthen a collaborative program evaluation culture where students, staff, and faculty co-create a better learning environment.

The latest Fall 2025 YSWD report highlights 17 new changes and initiatives that reflect your voices in action, from updates to curriculum and assessments, to enhancements in equity, accommodations, and learner support.

Some of the key improvements include:

Curriculum enhancements such as the new MAPS Year 2 curriculum (Medical Imaging, Anatomy, Pathology, Surgery) and adjusted CPC1 weeks sequencing to improve learning flow.

Fairer assessment practices through clearer eligibility criteria for clerkship course assessments and revised MSPR elective reporting standards.

Better support for learners with new disability accommodation resources and the appointment of a Faculty Career Lead for Black Learners.

Reduced survey fatigue through the deployment of the 2025 iteration of the Voice of the MD survey, consolidating feedback tools, and cutting external surveys by 66%.

Expanded financial support via a 30% increase to the Research Conference Travel Bursary, enabling more students to access funding opportunities.

Together, these initiatives reflect our shared commitment to listening, learning, and acting – building a stronger, more responsive MD Program.
