Update on the progress
of the Phoenix Program of the University of Arizona College of
Medicine
Programming for
renovation of the
Phoenix
Union
High School buildings is
basically complete and plans are underway to begin necessary
internal demolition in early February. Timing is of utmost
importance to prepare the buildings for a start date of July
2006. We are
anticipating a starting class size of 24 at that time.
Serious discussion is
underway for developing a separate curricular track for the Phoenix
Program. This would
allow for added objectives to those in existence in
Tucson . Separate course lengths,
types of teaching and evaluation processes would then be possible
instead of the current requirement for "comparability" of
experiences and "equivalency" of course length and evaluation under
which we operate with exactly the same curriculum (third and fourth
year).
More planning and
details to come; stay tuned.

" Call for Bright Ideas
- Deadline April 1, 2005
Bright Ideas are
creative techniques used to enhance learning and teaching in
clinical education. A
poster session will showcase these ideas during the 4th
Annual Innovations in Medical Education event on Thursday evening,
April 28th, at the Phoenix Airport Marriott.
The Bright Ideas
Network's goal is to support the development of a scholarship in
learning and teaching that:
1) recognizes and rewards teaching strategies as afforded to
other forms of scholarship; 2) enhances the practice and profession
of teaching; and 3) fosters significant, long-lasting learning for
all students.
Bright Ideas submission
categories include curriculum development, instructional
development, organizational development, faculty development,
instructional technology and other.
A panel of judges will
select up to three entries that best represent the scholarship of
learning and teaching.
Posters will be judged according to originality, scope and
impact, transferability and effectiveness.
For more information
about submitting an entry, contact Linda Larson Carr, PhD, at (602)
631.6558 or by email ( lcarr@u.arizona.edu
