9-9:50 a.m. - Defining “foundational science” for Phase I of medical school. How do we work together to get students what they need?

Presenters:

Alex Horwitz, MD

Tiffany Whitcomb, DVM, DACLAM

Title:

Learning Objectives:

Discuss opportunities and obstacles of basic science education in medical schools nationwide.

Discuss opportunities and obstacles of basic science education in Phase I of PSCOM.

Describe key features of the updated Guiding Principles for Phase I Foundational Science Education

Brainstorm ideas for reaching educational goals for Foundational Sciences in Phase I in a way that’s inclusive of faculty from a variety of disciplines and student-centered

Session Description:

Medical educators face a variety of challenges when planning foundational science lectures during Phase I, including: managing the volume of information, deciding what students need to learn in order to move into clinical medicine and successfully pass the USMLE exam, figuring out how the material fits into the context of the course, and teaching at the appropriate level of phase I students. During this session we’ll use common scenarios to explore opportunities and obstacles that faculty face when planning to teach in Phase I. We’ll introduce newly approved Guiding Principles or Phase I Foundational Sciences Education and brainstorm together about how to apply the guidelines in an inclusive and interdisciplinary way.
