At Marshall B. Ketchum University, we stand at the forefront of health education transformation. Our 2025-2028 Strategic Plan represents our unwavering commitment to reimagining the future of health education while honoring our foundational mission to educate caring, inspired healthcare professionals who are leaders prepared to deliver collaborative, patient-centric care in an interprofessional environment.
Our Vision Forward
This comprehensive strategic plan is built upon four transformative pillars that will guide our university through the next three years of growth and innovation. Each pillar reflects our dedication to the iCARE values: Innovation, Caring, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence. These values define who we are as an institution and shape every aspect of our educational mission.
Pillar I: We Are a Student-Centered University focuses on creating trusting, collaborative, and welcoming environments where students thrive both inside and outside the classroom through enhanced engagement opportunities, educational equity, and comprehensive support systems.
Pillar II: We Are an Engaged and Inclusive University advances our model of inclusive excellence by fostering diversity, maximizing engagement opportunities across our community, and strengthening partnerships that improve population health.
Pillar III: We Are Interprofessional in Culture and Approach to Healthcare and Teaching reinforces our commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration, preparing students to provide inclusive and equitable patient-centric care through enhanced communication, innovative care models, and experiential learning.
Pillar IV: We Are an Innovative and Contemporary University ensures we remain at the cutting edge of healthcare education through refined physical spaces, enhanced technologies, modernized systems, and robust cybersecurity capabilities.
A Commitment to Our Community
Our strategic plan acknowledges and honors the traditional caretakers of the lands where our campuses reside, the Gabrielino-Tongva Nation and the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians/Acjachemen Nation. This recognition reflects our broader commitment to improving health and healthcare for all peoples while respecting the rich heritage of our communities.
Looking Ahead
The initiatives outlined in this strategic plan represent more than goals, they are our promise to current and future students, faculty, staff, and the communities we serve. Through intentional action across these four pillars, we will continue to build upon our legacy of excellence while adapting to meet the evolving needs of healthcare education and practice. We invite you to explore the detailed strategies and objectives that will propel Marshall B. Ketchum University forward as we work together to transform health education and prepare the next generation of healthcare leaders.
