III. Faculty Development Day 2000
a. Review 1995-1999 budget information The committee reviewed the
budget information for faculty development day costs provided by Margaret
from 1996-1999. Budget for the 2000 conference is $8,000. The committee
also reviewed information provided by Sandy Baker from Snowshoe on food
rates for the 2000 conference. We can get a government rate of $30.00 per
person which would include a breakfast, lunch and dinner. The committee
discussed the possibility of having lunch on your own on the opening Friday
of the conference and then having dinner with a dinner speaker OR of having
only a reception that evening with heavy hors d'oeuvres. April was not
sure whether we would still be able to receive the government rate if we do
this. She will have Sandy call Snowshoe and check. It was suggested that
Dr. D'Allesandri might possibly be the lunch speaker. Rosie agreed to
check about this.
b. Confirm Snowshoe October 6-7, 2000 April said that the contract
has been signed for Snowshoe and there is a 30-day clause for
cancellation. Conference room charges will be $150 for both days. Food
will be the largest expense. April agreed to keep the committee up to date
on estimated expenses for the conference this year.
c. Training for OSCD's The OSCD's are interested in having a training
that is separate during FDD. The suggestion is to have this training on
Friday morning until about noon. The topic has not yet been decided. Dan
and Bob will be talking with the OSCD's to determine a training
topic. Chuck brought up the concern as to whether the OSCD position is
workable in each consortium. Chuck said the position was not working at
his site although he has made several attempts and had several meetings
with his OSCD. Local faculty development, which is a responsibility of the
OSCD is not happening in the majority of consortia. Compensation is
different for this position at each consortium and the majority do not pay
anything extra for these responsibilities. Without compensation it is
nearly impossible to have accountability. There was a suggestion by Dan
Brody to look at earmarking part of the $500,000 Dr. Weston is asking for
out of the Governor's budget for the funding of the OSCD. Rosie will speak
with Hilda about this. Dan and Rosie also plan to contact the OSCD's to
speak with them. April will email them an updated list and
information. Kelly suggested that the site coordinators be invited to
attend the training with their OSCD at FDD. The committee agreed this
would be a good idea. The committee also talked about the possibility of
holding an OSCD weekend retreat at some point, perhaps at Erickson Alumni
Center at ABB. It would be inexpensive and a great opportunity to have
some one on one interaction with the OSCD's.
d. Cultural Diversity Imogene & Don This was tabled until the next
meeting due to no report. Chuck said that he would also like to work with
Imogene and Don on this topic. He will contact them.
e. Faculty Development Article & other options discussion - Dan said
that he would check with Marshall about who is responsible for faculty
development there. Rosie will check with WVU. Helen commented that she is
in charge of faculty development and educational development at WVSOM.
IV. Faculty Development Survey Helen will contact Imogene about any
changes she may have and will send the survey to April for dissemination.
V. MDTV IDS Session Feedback was discussed at the previous meeting
with MDTV and included discussion about technical difficulties, training
for presenters, and ways to improve future sessions by using smaller groups
etc.
VI. OSCD Job Description Tabled until the next meeting.
VII. Draft Community Service/Research Approval Form Kelly Blake and
Chuck Connor discussed concerns from several site coordinators about the
form. Kelly pointed out that the form developed by the faculty development
committee would not really provide any kind of security if there are no
clear guidelines on what the OSCD or lead field faculty may and may not
approve, according to the schools' liability policies. Kelly added that it
is likely that most of the service that is occurring now is known of and
approved by field faculty already. Rosie stated that she thought there
would be a list of community service activities that would be exempt from
needing approval such as blood pressures and health fairs etc. However,
this may not be the case depending on the policies of the different
schools. For example, WVSOM requires their students to be supervised by a
DO or MD during health fairs and screenings. WVU medical students may be
supervised by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant. This issue is
also being discussed, and recommendations have been made by a sub-committee
of members from the Site Coordinator Committee and Schools Committee. The
chair of the sub-committee is Jacquelynn Copenhaver. Kelly suggested that
a member of the Faculty Development Committee join discussions of this
sub-committee rather than recommendations being made by two separate
committees on the same issue. The committee agreed with this idea and
decided that since Imogene Foster is a member of both the Schools Committee
and Faculty Development, and is serving on the sub-committee to discuss the
community service issue, that she could serve as a representative for
Faculty Development as well.
Next meetings of the Faculty Development Committee are as follows:
February 18, 2000 10AM-2PM Braxton LRC
March 10, 2000 10AM-2PM Braxton LRC
April 7, 2000 10AM-2PM Braxton LRC
