IAMSE Web Seminar: "A Developmental Pursuit of Foundational Scientific Knowledge"

A Developmental Pursuit of Foundational Scientific Knowledge

Presenter: Kim Lomis, MD, Vanderbilt School of Medicine

September 17, 12 PM ET

This session will describe efforts at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine to inculcate attention to the scientific foundations of medicine during the post-clerkship phase (years 3 and 4 in our revised “Curriculum 2.0”). We will discuss “Integrated Science Courses,” which intertwine ongoing foundational learning with clinical experiences to enhance student perception of relevance. We will discuss a model to intentionally foster master workplace learners by articulating a process for ongoing learning throughout one’s medical practice. Finally, we will discuss the use of shared developmental milestones throughout the entire curriculum to measure students’ approach to learning and ongoing knowledge acquisition.
