School of Medicine Internal Seminar: Another
alternative to make integration possible On of the major difficulties of current curricula of
schools of medicine that pose great importance to different kinds of
integration between teachers and students, between basic and clinical
sciences, between teachers of different disciplines, between different
instructional methodologies, between subjects and levels, even between
educational models, is precisely to accomplish this integration, goal
which relevance should force us to use all ways possible to get it. With this vision, and taking into consideration the
curricular change the year 2002, the Curriculum Committee of the School of
Medicine of the University of
Concepcion, within its permanent search for
permanent improvement, carried out the First Internal Seminar of
the Medicine School . The objectives of this seminar, which in the future
will be held annually are: 1) To share information about the progress of
the medical program and 2) receive the informed opinions of people
involved which could be used as input for planning the academic yearly
activities These objectives are accomplished in two steps: the first
during the seminar which ends with the elaboration and a
wide diffusion of a report, and the second, after the seminar with
the elaboration of the Development Project by the School of Medicine
Academic Council for the following year, when a new evaluation is done. This activity was designed to gather a great number of
participants involved in the program:
students and academics from different faculties, levels, disciplines and
subjects. Participants were given time to participate and attendance was
certified. Attendance of coordinator of courses and levels was compulsory
because they were responsible for presenting the diagnosis of strengths
and weaknesses of the areas they were in charge of, and responsible of
the corresponding propositions for change and accomplishments
goals. Each part of the seminar started with a lecture of
general interest for the curriculum, then presentation of the level and
course coordinator, ending with a open discussion guided by the Chief of
the Medical Program and assisted by the level coordinator who had to
write the preliminary report of the level. It is important to say that two other types of
evaluation are done systematically, qualitative and quantitative, which
results are presented in this seminar and that they also are used as input
for the medical program planning |
