Elements of the Month: 8.1 Curricular Management/8.3 Curricular Design, Review, Revision/Content Monitoring

Submitted Questions

• 12.6 Student Health and Disability Insurance:  We require all students to have insurance, however, we do not provide it.  If students do not have a health insurance plan, we refer them to [state] Health Plan Marketplace to obtain insurance.  Is this sufficient?
• 8.3 Curricular Design, Review, Revision/Content Monitoring:  When aligning curriculum content with program objectives, not all program objectives are ‘created equal’.  For example, program objectives related to medical knowledge may be extensively covered in the pre-clerkship curriculum, while program objectives related to patient safety/quality improvement may be covered in a few cases/projects/lectures.  Does LCME have any particular expectation  regarding the extent to which each program objective is covered in the medical program curriculum?  For example, if the faculty committee overseeing the curriculum deems a program objective sufficiently covered, as evidenced by assessment results and the curriculum database, would the LCME agree?
