Integration of the SoM MCW Curriculum Innovation Project (Curriculum Innovation Project (mcw.edu) ):
The Curriculum Innovation Project was approved by Medical College of Wisconsin's Curriculum and Evaluation Committee (CEC), November 2021 with an anticipated implementation date being July 2023. If you are already involved or interested in being involved, please indicate (e.g., you are a director of integration, a block director, or know that you will be teaching in the new curriculum). Kinetic3 will also integrate conversational opportunities around the facets of the new curriculum during the monthly courses in the EiT track. Being involved in the new curriculum is not a limiting factor, if you are interested in working on your current teaching profession and working to improve the current sessions you teach, we are here for you! We also recognize that a lot of teaching occurs outside of the curriculum and classroom! For those interested in the Medical Education Researcher track, consider how you might develop a capstone project that could be implemented in the new curriculum. If you are unsure what those would be, we can help with that! Questions specific to MCWfusion curriculum at MCW.
