Capturing CI Data Within the Clinical Years and Challenges in Mapping an Integrated Curriculum (Building Better Curriculum) - October 14, 2020

Part 1: “Capturing CI Data Within the Clinical Years”

The Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) is the largest medical school in the country, with nine regional campuses located throughout the state of Indiana. We will share our methods for documenting the clinical curriculum in ways that robustly capture the curriculum while maintaining an accurate representation of the shared student experiences across all of our campuses. 

Part 2: “Challenges in Mapping an Integrated Curriculum”

This presentation will chronicle the process of strategy development and evolution for mapping the integrated parts of the curriculum at Nova Southeastern University’s Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine.
