Committee Composition
The committee consists of the Program Directors of each graduate and advanced education program, and two resident/graduate student members as elected by the program directors. The Associate Dean for Advanced and Graduate Education and the Director of the School of Advanced Dental Sciences will serve as non-voting, ex officio members with the Associate Dean of Advanced and Graduate Education serving as the committee chair.
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; to act as the graduate curriculum committee; to advise of policies affecting advanced and graduate education.
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.
Additional Charge from the Dean for 2011–2012
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.
- Implement the New Innovations software for capture of the necessary schedule data for GME reimbursement.
- Implement the use of New Innovations software for resident program evaluations of residents and faculty where necessary.
- Implement new courses developed by the School of Advanced Dental Sciences.
- Implement Gator Advantage program across the residency programs.
Each standing faculty committee is charged with reviewing relevant outcome measures from the college's new strategic plan. The measures which should be reviewed by the Advanced Education Committee include:
- Annual demographic profile (number, percent) of post-doctoral students in terms of age, race/ethnicity and gender.
- 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 1-½ 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.
Schedule of Meetings
Advanced Education Committee meetings begin at 8:00 a.m. unless otherwise noted.
