The Task Force Meetings have begun. Each Task Force Committee is selecting a leader to limit topics and they will get back to us in six months.
Results of the Election for the Curriculum Committee Membership were inconclusive. Three were elected and in an open panel of six, three more were to be elected. One was elected and three were tied for the remaining two seats. There will be a runoff.
The senate by-laws state that the Chair of the Curriculum Committee is not eligible to vote. This will reverse the policy the Committee adopted earlier in the year which allowed the chair to vote.
PCW called attention to the USMLE handouts. |

Blood System Dr’s. Peter Halperin & Howard Fleit
Dr. Morrison noted the problems she is encountering getting faculty to volunteer to help teach the courses. She notified Dean Schiavone who brought the issue to the attention of Dr. Edelman. Dean Edelman froze Dr. Luft’s (Chair of Medicine) assets until he this critical problem was addressed.
Radiology Dr’s. Francine Jacobs & Leon Moore
The floor was opened for discussion. The course director of Radiology, Dr. Fisher was not present and therefore could not answer some of the questions that arose. The structure of the course was discussed.
- Radiology hired new faculty to help organize this course and even though there have been improvements, the course still needs a lot of work.
- It is impossible to learn be a Radiologist is two weeks, and this should be an ongoing exposure.
- Radiology is in an area of tremendous growth.
Dr. Sussman made a motion that the Curriculum Committee ask Dr’s. Moore and Fisher for suggestions on how to integrate Radiology into all courses in lieu of a free standing clerkship. The motion was seconded. Dr. Williams asked Dr. Sussman to e-mail him with a paragraph on this and he in turn will e-mail the committee and will try to edit this document online, before it is presented to Dr’s. Fisher and Harrington.
Dr. Williams thanked Dr’s. Jacobs and Moore for the report.

This discussion will be the 1 st Agenda item in the next Clinical Course Director’s Committee Meeting.
Dr. Williams will talk to Dr’s. Fisher and Harrington to advise them of this issue. This will be revisited in a month or two. |
