- Surgery Techniques Lab. A meeting has been arranged for
March 14, 2003 with Curt Tribble, Bill Wilson Ryan Zaklin and Don Innes
to discuss the surgery techniques laboratory and alternatives or
supplements such as Trauma Man to this exercise.
- Passports. Jerry Short presented a graph of student
evaluations of clerkship components both prior to and after the
implementation of the passport system. The graph demonstrated
insignificant change in student satisfaction with most aspects of the
program. The low scores for feedback and procedures are cause for
concern and will need to be addressed. We will continue to emphasize
the use of passports and will look for additional areas of
skill/procedure training, e.g. training on venipuncture teams,
respiratory therapy teams, etc. The Clinical Medicine Committee is
asked to devise a means to monitor and enforce the Passports and
attending feedback; to devise a plan that would provide skill training
, e.g. venipuncture, respiratory therapy, etc.
- Future agenda items:
Enhancing Clinical Exposure for First-Year Medical Students John
Gazewood is scheduled to meet with the Committee at the April 17th
meeting to discuss enhancing student clinical exposure as part of the
PoM-1 course.
Dean Garson will meet with the Committee on May 15, 2003 to
discuss implementation of the Decade Plan and the Curriculum Committees
role in this process. A team approach for implementation was discussed
including members of the Principles of Medicine Committee, Clinical
Medicine Committee and Curriculum Committee.
