Social Mission Metrics Priorities II Survey

The overall objective of the Social Mission Metrics Initiative (SMMI) is to develop, disseminate and institutionalize a valid and usable instrument through which health professions schools can assess their success in advancing the social mission of their institutions. In 2018-19 this initiative obtained completed surveys from over 240 U.S. dental, nursing and medical schools. The Social Mission Metrics Priorities II Survey is designed to address an additional challenge in the continuing development of this instrument: how should specific indicators be weighted to accurately reflect their relative importance in contributing to Social Mission?
