The Independent Student Analysis (ISA) is a student-led survey about our school's learning environment, educational program, resources, administration and services. The ISA Leadership Team is responsible for developing the survey, promoting it to their peers, analyzing the responses and compiling the final report for UAB leaders. The report is one of the key pieces our school will submit to the LCME for review.
Students completed the ISA in February and March 2021, ISA Survey report was compiled in July 2021.
