Objectives for Commencement Subcommittee

CHARGE:

At both the 2004 and 2005 EPC Retreats, significant discussion centered around the School of Medicine's Objectives for Commencement.  As preparations are made for the 2007 LCME Accreditation Review, Year 1 through 4 courses will be using these objectives to review individual course objectives.

Based on the discussion at the 2005 Retreat, the Year and Doctoring Directors, the vice-chair of the EPC, and two student representatives, with Dr. Debra Klamen as chair, will comprise a subcommittee with a charge to establish a schedule for a regular review of the Objectives for Commencement and ensure that they reflect the mission and philosophy of SIU School of Medicine, as well as current medical and educational theory and content, and meet LCME Accreditation Standards. To accomplish this charge, the subcommittee should review the Objectives for Commencement from other medical schools, the LCME Accreditation Standards, and other sources the subcommittee feels appropriate.  The subcommittee should plan to provide recommendations for a final revision of the Objectives for Commencement to the EPC at its May meeting for use by courses as they prepare for the 2005-2006 academic year.
