Roles and Responsibilities for Phase 1 Course Directors
Roles and Responsibilities for Course Directors Heading link
The Illinois Medicine Curriculum is an integrated organ segment curriculum. The curriculum focuses on integrating the basic sciences with clinical science; integrating principles of health systems science, professional development with foundational principles and clinical science.
In autumn of 2017, the three campuses that make up UICOM (Chicago, Peoria, & Rockford) worked towards creating a comparable curriculum across the campuses to meet LCME standards. This has led to the development of cross-campus curriculum development with emphasis on local implementation of a shared curriculum. The latter requires close collaboration and communication between the local design / delivery faculty and the college-wide content development team.
The Phase 1 curriculum is organized into block courses and longitudinal courses. Each block has 1-2 block leaders. A block leader is responsible for cross-campus collaboration and development of the block curriculum. The block team consists of campus course directors. Each campus has 1-2 course directors for the block at the local level. This can include both basic sciences faculty and clinical science faculty.
Standardized roles and responsibilities for Phase 1 College-Wide Block Leaders and Local Course Directors
These guidelines for Phase 1 roles and responsibilities were developed in early 2022 and will be revisited annually in case updates or modifications are necessary.
