The Community service team [Exploratory] has met once.
Initial thoughts lean toward a two-semester program - Spring, first
year and Fall, second year - one afternoon per week with implementation
Spring, 2005. One of the two semesters would be spent in a
community service project. Members of the team are working
with community liasons to determine needs and projects that will
develop over the long-term to lend continuity to the program. Minutes
from the past Exploratory development meetings will be
reviewed. A second semester will likely be clinical
or research at each student's discretion.

2. Basic Science for Careers Team. Basic philosophies such
as whether to center around the basic sciences or the clinical
disciplines were debated. The timing of the month long program
was also discussed with no consensus reached - June, August or
September - 3rd, and February or March - 4th year. An initial
proposal to have the program center around 5-6 basic disease mechanisms
(i.e. apoptosis, infectious disease) using lecture and case based small
group formats was presented - but found wanting. The major
challenge is to develop a program which provides relevant in-depth
basic science information in a way that stimulates the students and
were to be designed specifically for student's residency
choices.

Dr. Wispelwey mentioned a model for the Basic Science for Careers
, a one-month program in Rochester which operates on the
principle -50 things I wish I knew better after medical school -
takes place at the end of fourth year and is very well received by
their medical students. Students select the sessions
that are most applicable to their career.
