Goals Today
• Review status of HMS curriculum reform• Review Interest Groups’ plans for AY 14• Medical Education Grand Rounds• Academy fellowships• New initiatives for Insights newsletter• Membership issues• Discuss your thoughts for AY 14
Curriculum Reform: “Preclerkship” Major Themes
• New paradigm of learning; emphasize personal accountability, life-long learning, thinking & analysis
• Structure: principles of biomedical, population and social sciences pre-clerkship with advanced sciences post clerkship
• Early clinical experiences integrated with core sciences
• Periodic, cumulative, multifaceted assessment
HMS Academy
Areas of Focus
• Structure and Organization
• Pedagogy
• Clinical Skills
• Assessment and Evaluation

HighlightsMoves principal clinical year earlier into Year 2, allowing for early clerkship exposureAcknowledges core basic science needed prior to clinical year but that richness of more advanced science is best suited to students post-wardsMore individualized learning; dedicated scholarship block; advanced topics based on interestPushes USMLE to Year 3, allowing for focused attention on core basic science in Year 1
Advanced selectives could include advanced pathophysiology courses and integrated subjects such as genetics, cancer, nutrition, human development/aging, population health, and social medicine

The Learning Sequence
• Self Study
• Team Study
• Group Discussion – integration, application, analysis
• Reflection
Integrated “Courses”Support of Aerobic Metabolism – Homeostasis 1• Cardiovascular and Respiratory
– Anatomy/histology– Embryology– Physiology– Pathophysiology/pathology– Pharmacology– Radiology
HMS Academy
Integrated Faculty
• Core teachers, theme experts and content experts
• Multiple “specialties” and disciplines
• Integrated cases
• Integrated planning
• Integrated exams
HMS Academy
Design Phases (draft)• Phase 1: Broad overview of year 1 courses (what
goes into “Foundations”?); key questions to focus content (Oct 13-March 14)
• Phase 2: Detailed design of courses; writing the curriculum (syllabus, cases, student assignments); design of assessment and evaluation exercises/mentoring (April-Dec 2014)
• Phase 3: Design of advanced basic science• Simultaneous faculty development and
program assessment
HMS Academy
Focusing ContentFick Principle for Education
HMS Academy
Fick Principle for Education
• We confuse what we teach with what students learn
• We deliver information students extract some info what they don’t extract, is returned to us to teach again
• When we increase amount delivered, they extract less; when we decrease amount delivered, they extract more
HMS Academy
Key Questions (how? why?) for Each Course
• Example: Respiratory– Anatomy: How does anatomy of chest wall, lung pleural
contribute to creation of intra-thoracic pressure?– Physiology: How does physiology of the lung/chest
wall/airways interact to determine airway resistance?– Pathophysiology: How do pathologic changes in the
lung and chest wall contribute to decreased compliance of the respiratory system?
– Pharmacology: How does pharmacology of aminophylline determine its dosing, toxicity, effects?
