Curriculum Committee Meeting - December 5, 2005

TOPIC

DISCUSSION

ACTION

Minutes

November 5, 2005

Dr. Fleit asked for a follow-up of the discussion in the minutes in reference to the accessibility of the notes service, and why the students were uncomfortable about sharing this with faculty. Brian Rosenberg sent an e-mail out to 1st & 2nd Yr Classes and received very few responses.  Of the responses received back, the consensus was that students were confused and felt there was some sort of disconnect and a lack of trust.

The minutes were approved as read.

Announcements

1. Reminder for Faculty Retreat Saturday, December 10. 
2. Dr. Cameron received great review at the Mini-Med School.
3.  Every three years Course Directors must be re-appointed.  Dr. Williams reported that this will take place the same time as the evaluation of the director’s course.

This topic will be brought up for discussion at our next meeting on
January 9, 2006.

Faculty Development

Valorizing educators: Two models

Model A – Mission based funding  -- compensating contributions
This is done by supplementing income.  Dr. Williams reported that CD’s would receive a set amount for a particular task, e.g. directing or teaching in a course, serving on a committee, etc.  An alternative would allow the chair of a committee or course director to distribute money

Model B – Academy of Educators  - community & ongoing commitment
In this model we create an “Academy of Educators,” a group of faculty who apply and, if selected, are further trained as educators, train others, do educational research, etc.  They receive a stipend for participation. 

Dr. Mylona reported that there are other models at Harvard, Mayo and San Francisco where there is training in medical education that takes 18 months to two years to complete.
 

Old Business

This was discussed previously

 

New Business

2. Re-appointment of Mark Sedler, MD (Psychiatry System segment)
