1. A motion was made to approve the consent agenda, seconded, and approved.
- Vote required
- Continuity Clerkship Syllabus
Some of the previously approved continuity LOs needed clarification. The continuity LOs focused on PBLI and SBP. When looking at clerkship as a whole, discovered the need to add professionalism, patient care, and communication LOs. Integration of select ILOs would meet this need.
Motion to approve the updated learning objectives and to add relevant institutional learning objectives to the course.
Motion was seconded and approved.
Next the remainder of the syllabus was discussed. It will be P/F and most of the unique assessments and learning activities will overlap with the HSS curriculum and meet those assessment needs. Some of the specifics of these activities and assessments may be altered to align with the HSS curriculum but the overall activities and assessments are reflective of the clerkship.
Motion to approve the Continuity Clerkship syllabus.
Motion was seconded and approved.
