Larrivee Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hey, just wondering if anyone knows what types of things could be changing in the curriculum that would affect the class of 2015. Format? Organization? Subject matter (I assume this has to remain relatively constant)? etc etc.. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hking03 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 http://cr.med.ubc.ca/ that's the site for the curriculum renewal process. i'm assuming that everything is up for a change. the way the information is delivered, the focus of the pre-clerkship years, the method of grading (ie p/f/h), testing methods... it could go anywhere from there. http://cr.med.ubc.ca/2011/01/21/itfcr-working-group-structure/ that talks about the working groups and outlines what kind of stuff they will be discussing... it looks like delivery methods is a focus group.... http://cr.med.ubc.ca/about-2/people/ is a list of the people involved.... so, my guess is- everything is on the table, but i doubt huge changes will go into effect.

RyanMaverick Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 UBC Pharm has a whitecoat ceremony. It was nice -> although I'm really not looking forward to going back to those silly waist-length coats. They look ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look ridiculous. but mav, they are fashion forward... i mean, because of the short length we will be able to wear them out to dinner, we won't trip on them... they won't make your legs look really short, or your torso look really long... and who wants to look like they have a long torso.

Valid argument... but they do kind of look dorky! It's like riding a bike with training wheels, sure that's where you start, but the kids without training wheels look so much more cool!

Larrivee Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey, Just wondering if anyone knows what changes are being considered for the UBC curriculum and when these changes would be introduced. And if you don't know, does anyone know when the renewal process is going to be completed by? In other words, will we know what changes are going to be made before may 13th? Thanks, -Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hking03 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 http://cr.med.ubc.ca/ I think I posted this link before, but whatever. From what I understand the curriculum renewal will take place over 3-5 years... So, we'll be gone before the new curriculum is fully implemented (assuming of course that we get in this year). It looks like they are still in the early stages of defining what they want to change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
