Standing Committee Charge
As stated in the Constitution and Bylaws, it is the responsibility of this committee to evaluate, revise, and recommend policies to implement the pre-doctoral curriculum. This includes, but is not limited to, recommendations concerning entry requirements and curriculum content. As dean, I have empowered the committee to oversee all pre-doctoral curricular issues in the college.
Additional Charge from the Dean for 2011–2012
I am requesting that the Curriculum Committee or ad hoc groups established by this committee accomplish a number of important activities this year. The following activities can be addressed during the recommended time period:
- Strategic Actions
-
- Develop a method to identify and quantify evidenced-based teaching and critical thinking practices in the the curriculum, and then begin to apply this method in review of the current curriculum.
- Evaluate the current curriculum pre-requisites, educational philosophy, curriculum design and compency document compared to other national models and develop an action plan and time line for any proposed changes.
- Evaluate the need for student portable computing in the D.M.D. program and its impact on instructional delivery and privacy issues.
- Evaluate the newly developed honors programs, to include student satisfaction, procedural productivity and competency completion rates and its implication for potential curriculum revision.
- Evaluate proposed IPE/Patient Care curriculum and develop an action plan for the upcoming year (short term) and as well as a phased action plan over multiple years (long-term).
- Conduct an analysis of the educational components of the new CODA Accreditation Standards in advance of the 2013 self-study to identify strengths and weaknesses.
- Review and revise the Curriculum Management Plan.
- Document the educational and training value of the Team meetings, specifically 1) the Integrated Clinical Case-Based learning experiences, 2) clinical topics and procedures not taught in the prior curriculum and 3) other TEAM based educational experiences. Re-evaluate Oral Medicine/Oncology rotations position in the curriculum.
- Collaborate with the new Restorative Dental Sciences Department to 1) update the department on the new CODA standards and 2) to consolidate instruction in the preclinical courses.
- Ongoing Actions
-
- Assist the program coordinator in implementing a D.M.D./Ph.D. track in the D.M.D. curriculum.
- Produce an annual report of committee activities and accomplishments.
- Monitor the proposed centralization of educational technology and support with the HSC IT services and UF AT services.
- Recommend potential programs for consideration by the Faculty Development Committee.
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 Curriculum Committee in 2011-2012 include:
- D.M.D. students' first time pass rate on NBDE Parts I and II and compare to national average.
- D.M.D. students' pass rate on Florida licensure exam immediately following graduation.
- Proportion of classroom clock hours in evidence-based practice and critical thinking/active learning.
- D.M.D. student confidence in 20 clinical competencies upon graduation (senior survey).
- Alumni periodic survey (2012-13).
- First time competency pass rate.
- D.M.D. ADEA Senior Survey.
- Student satisfaction (Senior Exit Interviews).
- Number of D.M.D. students accepted/applied to advanced education programs.
Individual Faculty Member Responsibilities
