Welcome Thank you for your interest in SIU School of Medicine's first-year curriculum! Please use this page to learn more about how learning here is structured, assessed, and governed. Educational Program Outcomes (EPOs) Learning at SIU School of Medicine is guided by Educational Program Outcomes (EPOs). These are concepts and skills you must master to graduate. EPOs guide the objectives for each unit (our accrediting body, the LCME, refers to these as courses) which, in turn, guide the objectives for each Y1 session or activity.
