A lot can happen in a year. We prove that at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine.
Our team spans multiple disciplines and levels of expertise. It includes scientists, educators, doctors, staff members, and learners. But also storytellers, creative thinkers, mentors, and collaborators. Every person brings a unique perspective that helps our college thrive in its mission.
Throughout the year, our four-part docuseries, “Because We Care,” explored the key tenets of our mission.
Now, in our annual report titled “Our Care in Action: A Year in the Life,” we introduce you to some of the people who make our work possible.
Rather than only gathering statistics and highlights, we captured what a full year (July 2023-June 2024) at the UK College of Medicine looks like through the lens of 14 members of our team.
What we learned went beyond the facts and figures. We documented the human experience of working, learning, and excelling at an academic medical center. These stories revealed the heart that fuels our college.
