Committee Composition
The committee consists of the Program Directors of each graduate/post-graduate program. The Associate Dean for Education will be an ex-officio member. The Assistant Dean for Advanced and Graduate Education will serve as permanent chairperson.
Standing Committee Charge
As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, it is the responsibility of the committee to advise in the application and selection process of candidates to the advanced education programs and to develop, maintain, and evaluate its core curriculum.
Additional Charge from the Dean for 2009–2010
I am requesting that the Advanced Education Committee continue to advise me on issues related to advanced education policy and to act as a conduit of information on advanced education to chairs and advanced education students.
This year I am asking the Advanced Education Committee to also complete the following:
- Continue to work towards programmatic consistency between directors.
- Work in collaboration with the Business Office to standardize and acquire consistency in the billing, collections and all other fiscal issues across the advanced education programs. Provide tighter control on the fiscal aspects of these programs.
- Provide guidance to the accreditation site visit for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Advanced Education Program.
- Review and discuss the new college conflict of interest policy as it applies to advanced and graduate education programs.
Each standing faculty committee is charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the college strategic plan. The measures which should be reviewed by the Advanced Education Committee include:
- The number of under-represented minority applicants, interviewees and enrollees in post-doctoral programs.
- Advanced Education program yields.
- Advanced Education exit interviews.
- Enrollment trends in advanced education and graduate programs (headcount, FTE).
The committee should evaluate performance on these measures and when appropriate, action plans for improvement should be instituted using the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. The PDCA is the college’s model for outcomes assessment and evaluation.
Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities
Committee members are appointed based on their role as advanced dental education program directors. Committee members are required to attend the quarterly meetings which are generally about 1-˝ hours in length. Outside work required of committee members consists of individual responsibilities associated with their respective roles as program directors.
Time commitment: Approximately 1½ hours per quarter.
A GroupWise distribution of this committee is located in GroupWise at %ADV_ED_COMM.
