Registration Now Open for the January 18th IAMSE Web Seminar

Dear Colleagues ...

Join us for the next IAMSE Web Audio Seminar:

Speakers: Dennis Baker, Ph.D. and Mary Johnson, Ph.D.

The Florida State University College of Medicine (FSU CoM), founded in 2000, was established through a legislative mandate to educate physicians responsive to community needs and who provide patient-centered care to elder, minority, and underserved populations in Florida. FSU CoM is the oldest of the 'new medical schools.' Our clinical curriculum is delivered in the context of a community-based distributed campus model at six regional campuses spread across the entire geographic span of Florida. All clinical teaching is conducted by community-based physicians, with 70% of that training occurring in the ambulatory setting. Connecting year 1 and 2 basic science and clinical faculty to year 3 and 4 community-based clerkship directors to create a 'continuous educational experience' for students is challenging but very necessary. In this presentation we will share strategies we have employed to promote the exchange of information between regional campus clerkship directors and year 1-2 basic science course directors. Additionally we will describe collaborative strategies our central campus faculty has utilized to create year 1 and 2 courses with a strong clinical emphasis by incorporating input from regional campus clerkship directors. One successful approach was sharing specific objectives from courses and clerkships using the ACGME competency domains as a focal point.
