Synopsis:

CurrMIT is an online database designed to help medical schools manage the curriculum.

The database can be of use to associate deans for medical education and curriculum managers, as well as other administrators, faculty, and medical education researchers. It is being made available to all LCME-accredited medical schools.

In addition to tracking the curriculum changes in your own curriculum, the data base will offer at-a-glance comparative information with data from other institutions, including the following:

• --Topics covered throughout the curriculum, and where they occur
• --Who is teaching
• --How the student is assessed
• --Sites where teaching and learning occur
• --Educational methods used for course delivery
• --Outcome objectives for courses and clerkships
• --Outcome objectives for individual sessions

Benefit in Attending Session:

Participants will gain an understanding of how to utilize the online curriculum database to support management, organization and reform of their curriculum. The CurrMIT workshop will be a hands-on introduction. We expect to cover the following:

• --Overview/background of the overall project
• --Overview of the data that can be held in CurrMIT
• --Adding/Modifying/Deleting Data
• --Managing References & Source tables
• --Reporting on data:
