- School of Medicine Finances. James H. Scott, Associate Dean
of Finance for the University of Virginia School of Medicine briefed
the committee on the sources of funding for medical education and the
distribution process.
Future plans will likely include implementation of a mission-based
management (MBM) system. MBM is a management tool. Achieving the goals
and objectives of the school require resources. MBM allows for these
resources to be allocated based on accurate and timely information. MBM
stresses accountability. An equitable system of measuring educational
activities used in other Medical Schools will be explored and developed
for the University of Virginia School of Medicine.
The presentation and discussion was valuable for all. The Curriculum
Committee offered their assistance to the Dean of Finance and the new
Dean in design and implementation of an equitable and fair distribution
of funds for undergraduate medical eduction. Jay Scott asked the
Committee to send him any innovative ways to measure, fund activities
in the medical school. Don Innes suggested the Committee educate itself
in regard to MBM and will provide information and references.
- The Committee was asked to e-mail suggestions for possible new
Curriculum Committee members. Each member was also asked to provide one
goal/objective they would like to see the Curriculum committee
accomplish in the 2002-2003 academic year.
