- Meet the Faculty Lunches. Joey Dubose reported that many of
the Departments (Peds, Family Practice, Health Evaluation Sciences,
Pharmacology, Psych, OB, and Path) have expressed an interest in
hosting one of the Meet the Faculty lunches for the students.
Throughout Fall, 2000, these lunches will take place once per month.
The program might be expanded to twice monthly in the Spring.
- Executive Committee Update. Don Innes met with the Deans
Executive Commmittee this week to update them on the Curriculum
revisions already in place and the plans for the future.
- Curriculum Evaluation Format. The draft of the Curriculum
Evaluation format was distributed. Bob Bloodgood will perform a final
edit before we e-mail the form to Course Directors for their input.
After receiving the Course Directors input, the form will be edited as
necessary and implementation will begin this fall. The Committee agreed
that the Mulholland report should be a part of the evaluation process.
The Curriculum Committee will review the evaluation packets from all
courses each year. Courses should be able to provide this information
within two months after the course in over so that Curriculum Committee
suggestions might be made for the following year.
Course Directors will be encouraged to meet with a group of students
periodically to get feedback. The possibility of course directors and
selected students getting together for lunch on a monthly basis was
discussed.
- Bill Wilson will hold a meeting of the Clerkship Directors next
week. Implementation of a Clinical Skills assessment will be
discussed. The suggested method for documenting these skills is a
passport system. See example below.
This card, which the student would carry with him listing the basic
clinical skills necessary to complete a clerkship, would need to be
signed by an a physician (attending or senior resident) on the service
with the date that the student successfully completed each skill. The
clinical skills listed on the Passport would be specific to each
clerkship, designed by each Clerkship Director, and approved by the
Clerkship and Curriculum Committee.
