The Centre for Health Education Scholarship 2025-2027 Strategic Plan builds on the initial CHES Strategic Plan that spanned 2011-2016, the refreshed CHES Strategic Plan, 2017-2024, as well as the current Faculty of Medicine Strategic Plan, Building the Future: 2021-2026.
In 2024, CHES sought to create an interim Strategic Plan, 2025-2027, that built on the previous comprehensive strategic planning efforts in order to support a new CHES Director. This interim plan was created with a vision and objectives to serve the Centre through this period of transition.
