Faculty and Staff Services and Support
The division’s main office is responsible
for the overall operation of each area of the department in addition
to offering the following services.
Budgetary Support for Educational Services
Conjoint Teaching Services provides budgetary support
for Years I-IV of the medical student curriculum. During the budget
review process each course director is asked to project a working
budget based on past experiences and curriculum needs for the new
academic year. Each course is then given a teaching budget managed
by Conjoint that is used to purchases materials, supplies and services
for the teaching program.
Duplication and Distribution of Course Handouts
Conjoint Teaching Services provides support for the
duplication and distribution of course handouts for Year I-IV medical
student curriculums. Course handouts (i.e., lecture notes, lab manuals)
should be delivered to CTS two weeks prior to the beginning of a course
or lecture to allow adequate time for duplication and distribution.
Course Directors are encouraged to prepare as complete a course pack
as possible. Day-before or day-of lecture handouts will be duplicated
as soon as possible and distributed in the student mailboxes. All
students are accorded equal access to printed materials, if for some
reason handouts not are produced by Conjoint Teaching Services and
are distributed in the lecture halls or MD Labs by faculty members,
extra copies must be delivered to Conjoint Teaching after the
lecture/lab. 300 copies are needed to provide for each student.
Educational Material and Services Purchases
Educational
Material Purchases:
Materials for the teaching program including computer
software/upgrades, services, and equipment will be purchased using
the teaching budget and ordered through our office. A Request
for Instructional Aid form must be approved for all new purchases.
Forms are available in the Conjoint office and must be completed and
signed by the Dean for Academic and Student Programs or the Director
of Conjoint Teaching. If the total request exceeds $100.00 the signature
of the course director will also be needed. Materials for wet laboratory
sessions should be arranged with the Laboratory
Services unit of Conjoint Teaching.
Image reproduction and duplication:
Services provided by BioMedical
Communications such as slide reproduction, videotaping or graphic
art services must also have prior approval.
Exams
The division assists
the OSCE committee in developing and presenting the Year III Objective
Structured Clinical Exam and the Year I - Introduction to the
Patient course OSCE. Exam scoring and statistical analysis
is done through the Curriculum
Manager and Conjoint Teaching.
Student Communication
Conjoint Teaching no longer maintain
class listservs for all 4 medical school classes. Many faculties
use the lists to answer questions from students. To be subscribed
to the list, contact mspeece@med.wayne.edu. When your course
is over you can be deleted from the list by sending a message to the
same address.
Wet Laboratories, Small Group Didactic Sessions, Clinical Correlation
Encounters and Standardized Patient/Student Interactions
The division provides
budgetary, material and technical support, set-up and clean-up personnel
for wet laboratories and other educational learning sessions. See
Laboratory Services for more information.
Clinical Correlation Encounters
Patients that have been
brought in for clinical correlation sessions are entitled to a small
honorarium. Please let us know at least a week in advance of their
participation in your course so that the appropriate paperwork can
be completed. The division can also help you present clinical correlation
conferences. The conferences expose students to clinically relevant
testing, patients presenting with specific conditions, gross pathology
specimens, etc. in a way that allows student more hands-on/close-up
exposure that is not available in other formats. We can provide
logistical and financial support, assist in presenting materials and
work with your patients as they present to the students.
Standardized Patient/Student Interaction
The
Standardized Patient Program can assist you in developing and
presenting standardized patient encounters and assessments.
