Strategy 1: Offer high-quality education to all medical students and trainees
Build upon the COM’s historical position as a leader in medical education research and innovation. Make the most of unique offerings available through UI COM campuses and clinical affiliates.
- Create and support a structure for the administration of Special curricular Programs (joint degree programs + scholarly concentration programs)
- Expand/Increase number of opportunities among the education programs open to students (and where possible residents) from all campuses
- Review structure and coordination of rural education programs (i.e., RMed, RSSP, and new RHI2TE program with OSF)
- Explore possibilities for expanding CME efforts, with the aim of better serving the needs of IL physicians and our affiliated institutions, and enhancing the brand identity as Illinois’ flagship public medical school
Progress
- Development of system(s) to promote/recruit, track, and reward faculty and departments for educational contributions
- Develop specific expectations for faculty contributions to education, at the individual and/or departmental level
- Define and advertise teaching roles for basic scientists in an integrated MD curriculum, and conduct appropriate faculty development to ensure readiness and optimal mutual benefits
- Work with major affiliates to define their needs for faculty development, CME, etc.
- Foster opportunities for scholarship (in education and in clinical research) through partnerships between non-UI clinical teachers and FT UI faculty
Progress
- Conduct a comprehensive review of students’ experiences at each clinical affiliate, each campus
- Determine the optimal size and composition (by campus, by residential origin, etc) for the medical student body going forward, considering institutional resources, institutional needs, and societal medical manpower needs
- Conduct a comprehensive review (in partnership with UI Health) of GME affiliate relationships and program trainee complement in Chicago
- Project future GME programmatic expansion needs across the college, based upon institutional priorities and statewide physician manpower needs
Progress
- Systematically identify and track current expenditures for the College’s educational programs (beginning with the MD program); develop models for aligning allocation of GRF and tuition dollars with these expenditures; Production of a comprehensive budget and associated mechanism for tracking educational expenditures
- Ensure resources are directed to identified needs
