Summary of issues with current curriculum: Not optimally integrated
Problem Solving (PR) has not been the integrative tool for which it was originally intended.
Limited scaffolding - each organ system taught once as a single unit, frequently in isolation
Some major systems not covered until late Med 2.
Blocks 1 and 2 are viewed by stakeholders as fragmented…. In particular SF –while providing a very superficial overview of all the
systems, it is not viewed as providing the foundational knowledge.
Limited integration of preclerkship and clerkship
No formal overall clerkship curriculum to provide structured review of the scientific basis of medicine or important clinical skills to provide both horizontal and vertical integration
Doesn’t fulfill many of FMEC recommendations i.e. social accountability

ONE UNIVERSITY MANY FUTURES.
Principles: Physicians for 21st century: Fulfills (or exceeds) UGME global objectives, FMEC recommendations
and LCME/CACME standards
Fully integrated spiral scaffold curriculum throughout 4 years
Person/Patient to Community Centered not focused on organ system or department based
Build upon existing or potential strengths
Innovative – utilizing evolving technology
Iterative and Transparent process
Faculty: More Educational leaders but fewer teachers
More Faculty Development, Evaluation, Reward and Recognition

Goals to be achieved upon graduation
“Composite” Clinical Presentations:
Spiral Curriculum Framework Clinical Presentations “must represent a common or important way in which a patient, group of patients, community or population actually presents to the physician and which a graduate would be expected to handle” UC 2009 http://www.ucalgary.ca/mdprogram/node/622

• Symptoms or Signs • Lab abnormalities • Determinants of Health • States of Health
UGME CURRICULUM RENEWAL
Composite Clinical Presentations (CP4)
Provide a basic science foundation relevant to the study and practice of medicine
• Focus on the principles, themes and overarching framework
• Not contain sessions that are simply an overview or sample of things to come
• Not dwell on specifics from clinical examples but use only clinical vignettes for illustration
Appoint Foundation Leader and curriculum committee from basic science ( and relevant clinical) departments who will provide most of the teaching, then continue as respective Department “Leader's”.
Estimated ~ 4 weeks

Vision: Brief introduction: Transition to Clerkship (TTC: M4)- ? 2 weeks Junior clerk: year 3 (M5) and Senior clerk: year 4 (M6) Splitting major rotations into senior and junior rotations. Scheduled “intersessions”:
• Delivery of a formal curriculum • Review and integration of both basic science and clinical concepts • Introduction to the student’s next rotation. • Duration: TBA ? 2 weeks
Increase the ambulatory care experiences in all rotations.
Transition to Residency Module (M7) Following the CARMS match Review for LMCC Ensure all the CP4 have been met at the desired level Provide separate introduction for the graduate’s residency Duration and format: TBA

Clerkship Modules (Module 4 - 7)
Governance: Modified to enhance & facilitate transparent communication
Maintain quality assurance and curricular stability Recognize faculty – remuneration or time
ONE UNIVERSITY. MANY FUTURES. Undergraduate Medical Education
Faculty: Appointed Educational leaders to oversee/ensure continuum for each:
Module or Unit within modules Longitudinal Course Discipline/Department or “Theme”
• With job description and appropriate recognition & reward
Each educational “unit” with leader will have a curriculum committee with relevant representation
Fewer, more involved/committed teachers…..in particular lectures
Formal Faculty Development & Evaluation …equals more support from Department of Medical Education

UGME CURRICULUM RENEWAL
1. Foundation of Medicine Module Faculty appointed Module Leader and Committee Taught by basic science (and some clinical) members - mostly lectures
2. Normal Biology, Health and Disease Modules Each Organ System will have a basic science lead:
• Unique to that system eg. Neuro- neurophysiologist; Kidney – pharmacologist; MS – anatomist, etc. • Active participant with Faculty appointed System Leader planning both Normal Biology
& Health (Module 1) and Health and Disease (Module 2) units Each Basic Science Department may have a representative on all the organ systems Normal Biology & Health (Module 1) units will be taught by basic scientists if relevant Role in Health and Disease (Module 2) units Medical Sciences I as proposed by TG
3. Clerkship “Intersessions” Provide opportunity to incorporate review of scientific basic principles applied to clinical
medicine e.g. pharmacology, anatomy, physiology, molecular biology etc. Medical Sciences II as proposed by TG
4. Role in Longitudinal Courses Course Leaders Mentors for scholarly activity projects (… will require as many as 220)
UGME CURRICULUM RENEWAL: BASIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT ROLE

NEXT STEPS:
Approval: Department Heads Council Faculty Executive Council Revised governance to appoint new educational unit leaders
Creation of pedagogical template for Health and Disease Module Units
Development of revised student assessment
Formalizing the Longitudinal Courses, and Theme threads and begin to create linkage with Community.
Appointment of new educational leaders who will then develop their committees and course content
Development of clerkship modules
