Rapid changes in science, technology, the economy, and the social environment are reshaping health care. The UF College of Medicine is responding to these changes through continuous curriculum renewal. The college is known for its programs in competency-based education, performance-based teaching, community and urban clinical training, interactive learning, and the clinical presentation model, a UF-developed list of approximately 120 ways patients can present illnesses physicians. The model helps students identify the illness when the symptom is the only clue a patient can give.

In support of medical education, the College created the Anaclerio Learning and Assessment Center. The Anaclerio Learning and Assessment Center provides a realistic health care environment for students to acquire the skills necessary for successful evaluation and treatment of patients.

As the largest college within the UF Health academic health center, the UF College of Medicine is home to thousands of faculty, students, and staff committed to improving people's health and well-being across the globe. The College of Medicine, the largest of six colleges at the University of Florida Academic Health Center, opened in 1956 with a mission to increase Florida’s supply of highly qualified physicians, provide advanced health care services to the residents of Florida and foster discovery in health research.
