Call for Applications: Innovations in Curriculum Design and Delivery (ICDD) Workgroup
The Innovations in Curriculum Design and Delivery (ICDD) Workgroup is entering its fourth year and is inviting MS3 and MS4 students to apply as student representatives. ICDD brings together faculty, staff, and students from all sites to enhance the Foundations Phase curriculum through innovation, engagement, and best practices. This year, members will serve as Innovation Incubator Consultants and participate in virtual Guest Presentations, providing feedback on curriculum ideas and learning from external speakers. Students who have completed the Foundations Phase are encouraged to apply by Friday, August 29.
Got Questions or Need Help? Here’s the ‘Who to Contact’ Guide
Check out the new “Who to Contact” flyer: a one-page quick reference guide designed to help you navigate who to reach out to for support during your clinical years. Created in response to student feedback from the ISA and focus groups, this flyer aims to make it easier to find the right contact for questions or concerns.
It’s also available on the Clinical Curriculum webpage.
Career Advising Student Advisory Board: Road to Residency Tip of the Month
This advice is for all students and includes first-generation and BIPOC student lenses.
Explore and Focus scheduling comes up pretty quickly in the fall for MS3s. Start looking in the Explore & Focus Clerkship Catalog soon to see what options might be possible. Also talk to students ahead of you to learn about their experiences and get advice BEFORE the scheduling process begins. Watch Career Advising’s session last month on Early Career Planning for the Explore & Focus Phase and/or see the slide deck for a preview of 4th year career planning steps in the next six months.
The Guide to 4th Year Planning website has all the information in one place to help you understand how to plan your upcoming Explore & Focus phase and will be updated by October with information relevant to your class. The Explore & Focus Clerkships website is a great resource to learn about electives, APCs and Sub-Is.
