As I see and hear more and more about Artificial Intelligence in Medical Education, I'm creating a special "Hot Topics" section below to include information I discover. This section will continue as long as it's needed. Please let me know if you have a resource or resources to share.

A reminder that all Faculty Focus Newsletter and Update issues are available from the Faculty Focus Archive.

I thank all who help with content curation and those who have shared items with me for distribution.

Thank you, Steve

Announcements

  • Rowan-Virtua SOM Student Handbook AY 2023-2024
  • Rowan University has recently become a member of the ORCID-US Consortium.
    • From announcement: "ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor Identifier) offers a free way to maintain a comprehensive online record of your academic career by creating a unique, open digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher with a shared or similar name to yours. Including your ORCID number on a personal website, CV, tenure or promotion application, e-mail signature or grant application provides an easy link to your scholarly record. In addition, adding your ORCID to submitted manuscripts allows many publishers to automatically add your publications to your record. However, you retain the ability to add or remove information and control who can see it. As a member of the consortium, Rowan-based researchers can connect their Rowan identity to their ORCiD account. Doing so both helps keep your account current and offers the ease of signing in with your Rowan NetID."
        We encourage you to set up an ORCID account, or connect your existing record to Rowan, to begin taking advantage of its many benefits. Please contact Lisa Price in the Health Sciences Library if you have any questions or need assistance

Educational standards established by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) state: “A COM must ensure that the learning environment of its osteopathic medical education program is conducive to the ongoing development of professional behaviors in its osteopathic medical students, faculty, and staff at all locations and is one in which all individuals are treated with respect. 
    • Mistreatment of students may occur in many forms and can seriously impair the educational experience. Student mistreatment, abuse, harassment, intimidation or bullying will not be tolerated. This policy applies to all members of the RowanSOM Community with whom students interact throughout all four years and all aspects of the educational experience, including faculty, staff, residents, students, clinical and other affiliates. 
    • “Mistreatment” is defined as ‘intentional or unintentional behavior that demonstrates disrespect for the dignity of others or unreasonably interferes with the learning process.” It can take the form of physical punishment, harassment, psychological cruelty, retaliation and discrimination based on race, religion, ethnicity, sex, age or sexual orientation or any other protected class.
    • “Retaliation” is defined as an adverse action taken against an individual in response to, motivated by, or in connection with an individual’s complaint of mistreatment, participation in an investigation of such complaint and/or opposition to reported mistreatment in the educational or workplace setting.
