USA College of Medicine Division of Medical Education Publishes CURRents Newsletter

The University of South Alabama College of Medicine’s Division of Medical Education has created a new newsletter, CURRents, that will be published three times each year.

Dr. Anthony Gard, assistant dean for medical education and professor of neuroscience at the USA College of Medicine, said the newsletter was created to inform USA College of Medicine faculty, residents and students about ongoing developments in the medical education program. It also provides results of student performance on board examinations toward licensure.

“The Curriculum Committee works at the heart of this process by overseeing the design, implementation and assessment of a complex, multi-faceted program, which has undergone extensive renewal in recent years,” Dr. Gard said. “CURRents gives the 33 faculty and students who comprise the Curriculum Committee a mechanism to communicate to nearly 1,000 educators and students new initiatives, performance feedback, and the spirit of continuous quality improvement that define our progress and move us forward.”
