Goals
Key insights informing the strategic direction:
- FHS’s research, education, and graduates generate meaningful impact across local communities. There is a strong opportunity to work more intentionally alongside community and clinical partners to advance shared priorities in health and wellbeing.
- Deepening and formalizing strategic international partnerships will strengthen FHS’s global reach, enhance collaborative research and education opportunities, and reinforce its reputation as a respected international partner.
- As healthcare becomes increasingly interconnected and global in scope, students must be prepared to engage across cultures, systems, and borders. Expanding international learning and global engagement opportunities will help equip graduates for global citizenship.
- While FHS contributes significantly to advancing healthcare and improving wellbeing, its impact is not always broadly visible. More coordinated communication, storytelling and narrative amplification will help elevate the Faculty’s voice, strengthen its identity, and enhance its influence and reputation within and beyond Western University.
