Number of students: 200-220, Preparation hours: 384, Student contact hours: 128; Started in 2011 with the initial group of faculty recruited and charged to develop a new, integrated curriculum for Medical students named CIRCLE. Planning phase started in 2011, inaugural 1st year class began in 2012. The purpose of the 9 week long Attack and Defense module is to cover the fundamental concepts of immunology, microbiology, and associated pharmacology as it applies to the practice of medicine. This module is scheduled in the fall semester of the first year and serves as a foundational course to prepare students for organ-specific modules ahead. The aim is to demonstrate the important integration of immunology, microbiology, and pharmacology. Throughout the module, there are opportunities to apply learned concepts to clinically relevant questions and scenarios to prepare students for the rigorous demands of practicing medicine. As a Module Co-director, my role is to make sure that the module covers the necessary objectives and concepts the medical students need to be successful, recruit the necessary faculty content experts to contribute to the module, and review the content and manner in which it is presented to see that we maintain the mission of an interactive and integrated educational process. Other important duties are providing support and direction to the students and addressing any questions and issues that arise. | |||
