The course directors are working on addressing three main topics, plagiarism, the moving from Examsoft to Canvas for exams, and a Step 1 resource page for the students.

  • Harrell presented on the need and goals for inclusion of a Well Being Curriculum into the CLG groups. Samples of educational activities included Mindfulness-Based Stress Relief training, nutrition and wellness, and study skills. Using the CLG groups throughout the four years, there would be an increase in CLG meetings during the Clinical years, an increased amount of self-assessments during the CLG check-ins, and increased reflection opportunities.

    • Black presented on the 4th year Quality Improvement Experience Project he has been working on. Presented were the goals and objectives of the experience for the students as well as the current focuses. The QI experience is housed in the Geriatrics clerkship currently, though Dr. Black is asking the committee for help in finding not only the best spot, but also to help get new perspectives and new content. Dr. Black feels that there is a need for co-facilitation in order to keep the experience alive. Dr. Novak opened the floor to discussion and questions.

 

  1. AAMC 2017 GQ Benchmarking Update
    • Fantone presented the GQ Benchmarking Update. Overall, the GQ was very promising and filled with mostly good responses with high satisfaction.
