Faculty development Minutes may 2000
Minutes - Monday, May 15, 2000, 11:30 am -1:30 pm
Flatwoods Days Inn
Minutes/Next Steps:
Rosie called the meeting to order. Minutes of the previous
meeting were approved as written. The "Next Steps" from the previous
meeting were reviewed and revised, as attached.
Faculty Development Day (Showshoe Resort, Friday, Oct. 6 - Saturday,
Oct. 7, 2000):
Plenary: Rosie reported that Dean D'Allessandri is confirmed
as the closing speaker.
Craft Displays: There was agreement that the artists would
be responsible for handling their own sales, that staff would not be involved
with collecting money, etc.
Posters: Rosie noted that she had received a request for a display
of the CARDIAC project at Faculty Development Day. There was agreement
that this display would be appropriate. Discussion took place regarding
other possible displays, and whether to encourage presentation of student
projects. There was agreement that posters would be welcome which
would inform field faculty of current or potential service or scholarship
activities, which they might be interested in adopting or adapting for
their own teaching situations and communities. Field faculty from
consortia would be encouraged to develop posters on projects other sites
might wish to adapt, and agencies such as the American Cancer Society,
the schools, and others would also be welcome to have posters. The
Site Coordinators present agreed to take this suggestion to the Site
Coordinators
meeting, to encourage posters from Field Faculty. The group did not
think FDD was the forum for student work. There was a discussion
that Legislative Day was the more appropriate place for this work.
The poster session at FDD will be limited to work done by faculty, utilizing
RHEP students, and not work done solely to advance the professional (private
publications for example).
Training for OSCDs (On Site Clinical Directors): Dan reported
that training for these individuals is planned for Friday morning.
He reported that Judy Sedgeman has been invited to lead a session on conflict
resolution. The starting time may need to be adjusted, to allow time
for discussion regarding the job description of the OSCDs, using either
the current policy or the policy as it may have been modified by when this
training takes place.
Cultural Awareness session - Imogene requested
assistance
with scenarios related to the Appalachian culture. Rosie had some
suggestions for how this session be introduced, based on her own experience
at a recent workshop.
"Computer Petting Zoo" - Dan reported that he believed
that Parr Thacker had the computer petting zoo "under control."
On Site Clinical Directors - Compensation Survey and Position
Description:
Dan Brody reported that he has been working on the compensation survey
of On Site Clinical Directors, and about half are compensated and half
are not. It was noted that the Site Coordinators had chosen not to
meet with the Faculty Development Committee, as had been proposed by the
Faculty Development Committee at its last meeting, so next steps were not
clear. Members noted that there is an approved policy requiring On Site
Clinical Directors, and that discussion should relate to specific changes
in the approved policy to clarify the duties of this position. It
was decided that the policy would be taken back to the site coordinator
meeting and to ask them to be more specific, and in a written format, what
they felt could and should be changed to increase compliance with this
policy. The Faculty Development Committee did not feel that a suggestion
to make this policy and "optional" policy was a viable alternative.
Committee Representatives:
Rosie noted that Dr. Sy Satow and Dr. Jim Malone have asked to be replaced
on the committee. Site coordinators were asked to suggest candidates
for these positions.
Teaching Tips for Field Faculty:
Helen asked for feedback on the articles about clinical teaching which
had been posted to the WVRTC-L. There was agreement that such postings
(about one a month) should continue.
Next Steps:
Completed:
- April contacted Judy Sedgeman about doing "Conflict Resolution"
session with On Site Clinical Directors.
- April sent letters to conference participants confirming
time/session
and asking for CV and other information.
- Rosie checked with Dr. D'Allessandri's office about whether
he will be available as the lunch speaker on Saturday.
- Electronic date savers sent.
- April sent an email to coordinators asking them to add preceptor
email addresses to TRACKER if they were not already there.
- Sherri contacted site coordinators about additional craft displays
for the conference.
- Site Coordinators were invited to a joint meeting with the
Faculty Development Committee, regarding On Site Clinical Directors (but
the Site Coordinators group chose not to participate)
- Helen sent a sample of a clinical teaching newsletter to the
committee for review/comment.
- April sent Field Faculty Survey results to site coordinators,
OSCD's, and RHEP committee chairs with a cover letter asking for review
and discussion/action on comments related to respective committees.
Still to be accomplished:
1. Develop procedures of IDS sessions (Dan and Bob)
2. Paper date saver cards to be mailed (April and Mark)
3. Check to see that hotel rooms have been blocked for Thursday night
(April)
4. Develop a committee description for policy 96-02 and send to email
discussion list for feedback. (Helen)
5. Members to think about possible replacements for Dr. Satow and Dr.
Malone (Site Coordinators, all)
Next Meeting: 11:30 - 1:30 July 17, 2000 at Flatwoods. Brochures will be ready for final review at that time.
