2. What we’ve discussed… The principles from MEC are helpful
What have we done
Focused on structure of preclinical years, ~7.5% decrease in course hours
No more that 24 hours scheduled in any week
Preclinical ends in mid-February of year 2 (~2.5 months earlier than current)
Reviewed several models of preclinical that integrate current year 1 and 2 courses
Intentional repetition and consolidation periods at the end of each block and at end of preclinical
Some things still to discuss
Specific pedagogical requirements/recommendations for years 1 & 2
Attendance policy for preclinical
Cumulative examinations
Moving Step 1 to during or after clinical clerkships
Transition period and relationship to core clerkships
Sharing and getting feedback from others (course directors, students, faculty, faculty council, other)
