Scope
This policy applies to all Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) Graduate Medical Education (GME) resident physicians as well as those residents who teach medical students in non-IUSM affiliated GME Programs where IUSM medical students rotate.Policy Statement
LCME Element 6.1 Program and Learning Objectives
The faculty of a medical school define its medical education program objectives in outcome-based terms that allow the assessment of medical students’ progress in developing the competencies that the profession and the public expect of a physician. The medical school makes these medical education program objectives known to all medical students, faculty, residents, and others with responsibility for medical student education and assessment. In addition, the medical school ensures that the learning objectives for each required learning experience (e.g., course, clerkship) are made known to all medical students and those faculty, residents, and others with teaching and assessment responsibilities in those required experiences.
LCME Element 9.1Preparation of Resident and Non-Faculty Instructors
In a medical school, residents, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other non- faculty instructors in the medical education program who supervise or teach medical students are familiar with the learning objectives of the course or clerkship and are prepared for their roles in teaching and assessment. The medical school provides resources to enhance residents’ and non-faculty instructors’ teaching and assessment skills, and provides central monitoring of their participation in those opportunities.
Reason for Policy
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines ensuring that the IUSM Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC) oversees a comprehensive, fair, and uniform system of disseminating and monitoring receipt of the medical education program’s clerkship learning objectives as well as the occurrence of semi-annual resident teaching evaluations in compliance with relevant LCME elements.Procedures
