BREAKOUT SESSION
Working with the AAMC Curriculum Management and Information
Tool (CurrMIT)
Robby Reynolds, MPA and Al Salas, MA,
Association of American Medical Colleges,
ABSTRACT:
Available from the
Association of American Medical Colleges since June 1999, CurrMIT is a
password-protected, online database that offers a state-of-the-art method to
document and manage detailed information on medical school curricula. CurrMIT
contains information on course and clerkship organization, content, outcome
objectives, assessment methods, educational methods, competencies, and more.
Several medical schools are now using CurrMIT to manage the self-study data
that is required by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), in
preparation for accreditation.
CurrMIT is designed
for use by curriculum managers, faculty and medical education researchers. Data
can be entered into CurrMIT via a web-based user interface, or it may be loaded
using XML.
In addition to
assisting with internal curriculum management, CurrMIT allows users to review
curricula of other medical schools using the system.
All LCME-accredited
The AAMC is pursuing
a plan to allow international medical schools access to CurrMIT. The proposed
plan will allow groups or associations of international medical school to
access CurrMIT for management purposes. Subscribers will also be able to view curricula
of
BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:
During this one-hour
panel, we will provide an overview of CurrMIT content and structure, and will
demonstrate several of the powerful reporting features available. Working with
the system online, we will generate reports that answer important curriculum
related questions that medical schools face on a daily basis, based on requests
received from the participants.
