In contrast, the first class to complete this curriculum had the highest raw score on part 2 of the boards in the schools history. As a whole, all clerkships and departments are not opposed to the model. Pediatrics is changing their model. Dr. Rooks says that the six week basic curriculum structure gives us more flexibility to adjusting the curriculum as time goes on. The IGC Clerkship Committee recommends that we continue the clerkship with pediatric reservations as noted above.
Decisions Continue the current third year curriculum structure and reevaluate in one year.
This motion passed with one dissension. Continue the Interdisciplinary Generalist Clerkship allowing the IGC Clerkship Committee to work out remaining design problems. This motion passed unanimously. Allow students to defer neurology and anesthesiology in order to gain a 1 month elective during the third year. This is agreeable to Steve Nadeau and Mike Banner as long as we protect them from student overload.
