In 2014, LMP established a Strategic Planning Steering Committee. The Committee worked tirelessly to consult broadly within our department and with external stakeholders, and was instrumental in facilitating our highly successful offsite retreat held in October, 2014.
Vision 2020 defines the unique place of LMP amongst academic departments and articulates four major Strategic Directions:
These important themes will allow LMP to continue to work effectively to further increase our performance and impact.
International leadership in research and education in laboratory medicine and pathobiology.
We prepare future leaders in laboratory medicine and pathobiology, contribute to our communities, and improve the health of individuals and populations through discovery, application and communication of knowledge.
Unique Position: LMP bridges the gap between the health of patients and populations and research into the pathogenesis of human disease. Pathobiology provides the theoretical, scientific basis of medicine. A clinical focus on diagnostics is the connecting point between patients and their caregivers and the underlying basic science enables breakthroughs in diagnosis and treatment.
Unique Expertise: Advances in technology and “big data” are transcending the boundaries between traditional disciplines
requiring sophisticated content expertise. LMP’s collective level of knowledge and interpretive skill covers the full spectrum from basic research to clinical practice.
Unique Role: LMP translates new knowledge made from discoveries in basic science to advance diagnostic laboratory medicine and to answer the needs of patients and populations. Diagnostics is LMP’s domain and differentiator.
