CHARGE
The Medical Student Education Committee will serve as the institutional body that, together with the Executive Associate Dean for Academic and Faculty Affairs, is responsible for the development, management, and evaluation of the undergraduate medical curriculum, designed to provide an integrated and relevant general medical education. Operationally, the committee will forward its recommendations directly to the Executive Associate Dean, who, upon delegated authority from the Dean, after seeking appropriate faculty input when necessary, will implement such decisions. The Medical Student Education Committee shall have authority to appoint subcommittees as appropriate to assist in its responsibilities. The committee, with the aid of the Executive Associate Dean, will solicit input from the faculty, students, the administration, or the departments as to future curricular initiatives, policies, or procedures relating to the medical student curriculum. The committee will likewise give periodic and frequent reports to the faculty, students, administration, and departments regarding matters under review and any actions taken. Specifically, the committee will:1. make recommendations on matters concerning the administrative operation of the curriculum;
2. decide on curricular revision as appropriate;
3. develop and evaluate educational objectives;
4. develop and implement a plan of ongoing evaluation of the curriculum;
5. recommend strategies to improve the learning environment and the effectiveness of instruction; and
6. take any other action as necessary to aid in the development, management, and evaluation of the undergraduate medical curriculum.
