Description

This elective is twofold: (1) Students will be responsible for co-facilitating a PBL and other small group sessions in one of the Basic Science courses and possibly substituting for another PBL facilitator if needed; (2) Under the direction of a faculty member (determined by Elective and/or Basic Science Course Director), students will revise two or create one new PBL clinical case, along with tutor guide and references. The case will be submitted to the Basic Science and Elective course directors for review by the end of the four-week experience. In addition to those responsibilities, you must attend a brief orientation and evaluation sessions at the beginning and ending of the course, develop 10 quiz questions, and complete a self-reflective essay (1-2 pages). Students will be contacted two weeks prior to the start of the elective to make arrangements for these other sessions. Any planned time away during the Elective (e.g., interviews) must be submitted in writing to the Course Sponsor no later than two weeks before the first day of the Elective. Any additional circumstances for absences must be brought directly to the attention of the Course Sponsor.
