BROWN-BAG LUNCH SEMINARS

(IAMSE WEBCAST AUDIO SEMINAR SERIES)

This seminar series, "If I Had a Clean Slate...New Medical School Curricula",  will provide an overview of contemporary possibilities and then focus on some of the ways five new medical schools from around the world faced the opportunities and challenges of developing their curricula. They incorporated the latest approaches in simulation and virtual-patient teaching, integrative learning, early and continued patient contact, and even restructured the way faculty are appointed to departments! Each medical school has its own approaches and limitations, yet there are common goals from which we can all learn. This webcast series will highlight new educational approaches in medical education and practical experiences for their implementation. 

Thursdays only, Noon, Office of Medical Education Conference Room, Suite 1730, 1430 Tulane Avenue (SOM)
