Jeffrey S. LaRochelle, M.D., MPH
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs,
Professor of Medicine

Welcome to the UCF College of Medicine’s Academic Affairs homepage.

The Office of Academic Affairs provides oversight of the education curriculum and enables the success of students and faculty in teaching and learning, research, and creative expression. We are dedicated to advancing the academic mission, vision, and goals of the UCF College of Medicine and are committed to achieving the highest levels of academic excellence.

The patient for whom our physicians in training will provide care is our north star. We emphasize not just an understanding of medical knowledge, but of our learners ability to think critically; to be comfortable with uncertainty; to embrace complexity, and act with simplicity.
