§ SRC, Steven Chen and Adam Roth
· Student Research Committee
· Primarily serve to work with faculty to improve SRP and other student research initiatives
· Big push is towards implementation of a website detailing research opportunities for students
· Website should be up by December
· Central application for all programs
· Long term goal: implement a structure for ongoing research during your third and fourth year to look for opportunities to do case reports, get involved with clinical research, etc.
· Working to change the school’s policy or openness to allowing students to take a year off between third and fourth year to work on research
§ CCSC – Curriculum Council Steering Committee
· “Satisfactory with Concern” Policy
o New policy
o Goal is to identify students early
o Applies more so to third and fourth years
o Grade would be assigned to students who are on borderline for failing
o Grade would NOT appear on official transcript
o SWC notification would be received in the middle of the course
o If you are unable to remediate your SWC grade you might be at risk of receiving an Isolated Deficiency grade on the transcript
o Intent of this new policy is to let students know early that they are at risk rather than simply receiving an ID at the end of the clerkship
o What are we doing to make sure students are being evaluated in the middle of the clerkship in order to get feedback out?
§ SWC does not simply have to be a tool for mid-clerkship feedback
§ Also will be used to amend end of clerkship grades and make the student aware that he or she might have passed a clerkship, but their performance could be improved
o Does this mean that a student cannot receive an ID without first getting a SWC?
§ NO
§ Theoretically a student could still receive an ID without prior warning if the behavior was severe enough
o Is it possible to set this up so that a student has to receive a SWC before getting an ID?
§ Policy is not yet finalized; this idea will be brought up to the rest of the committee
o Who administers a SWC?
§ Faculty member can request to a Clerkship Director that a SWC be handed out
· QHD – first session

· Will be discussing the topic of opioid abuse and prescriptions
· Looking to brainstem solutions to various opioid related problems plaguing Eskenazi
· Health Sciences Statewide IT Support (HSSIT)
o Patrick Phillips
o HSSIT support all health sciences schools (i.e. dental, Regenstrief, etc.)
o Need for better IT unity across the state
o Not exactly a support unit because the team consists of Patrick and 1 other person
o Goal is to better coordinate IT support across all of IUSM campuses
o Hoping to eventually create software standards and computer safety standards that will be identical throughout the state
o Example of when to contact Patrick:
§ If you’re at Muncie and you think there are two lecture halls or rooms that might benefit from a video equipment upgrade
o Big things being worked on:
§ Only 2 centers outside of Indy are on the IU network
§ One of the biggest hurdles to unifying IT support throughout the state
§ Also working on setting up video conference standards
o CAITS does not receive money for supporting students – technically only a support service to faculty and administration
§ Part of VP for IT and part of VP for clinical affairs
