This charge was also unanimously passed. Charge 1-2 issues were dealt with by the committee, which split, in 2 groups. The 1 st issue dealt with the development and implementation of a new curriculum for the 1 st 2 years of school. Modules will be led by a basic scientist along with a clinician. The idea is to foster the development of clinical skills along with the basic science knowledge.
Classes are basically in the mornings with students doing individual learning in the afternoons.
The 1 st semester concentrates on foundation modules. It was encouraged that everyone review the curriculum prior to the next Faculty Council meeting, so that any concerns can be addressed. There is a 3-hr. Students also need to work in small groups and to acquire knowledge outside of class for specific class activities. That is the subject of the second charge.
