JC Eldridge: Leadership Positions In Medical Education
1993-1996 Co-Director, Medical Neuroscience Course (Unit II).
For three years I was co-director of this 1st year course in the traditional curriculum that ended in 1998. I was responsible for all assessments and for a collection of case-based, small-group exercises known as "Lesion Hunts". I oversaw the preparation, scoring and grade assignments of the exams. I prepared the lesion hunt case scenarios and exhibits, organized the student groups, recruited and trained faculty facilitators, and managed the schedules. The highly successful exercises were consistently rated by students as the best aspect of the course.
1996-1998 Director, Unit A, Parallel Curriculum.
During the final two years of its 11-year existence, I was overall director of the 1st year component of this largely PBL-like program for 24/108 students in each class. The responsibilities were essentially management: training and counseling of the group facilitators, preparation and administration of content exams, revision of tutorial group cases, counseling students individually and in a weekly representative session, interviewing applicants for incoming classes and representing the program before the student progress and promotions board.
1998-2007 Phase 1 Director, "A Prescription for Excellence: A Physician's Guide to Life-Long Learning".
With the development of a new, integrated curricular model for medical education, that features contextual learning and early professional development, I assumed overall leadership of the Phase 1, covering the first 30 weeks of study. I was a principal architect of the program delivery through a server-based network to laptop computers issued to each student. I also directed "Basic and Clinical Science Problems" (BCSP), a twice-weekly tutorial activity for groups of 6 students. BCSP utilizes case-based, problem-based learning experiences to integrate concurrent lectures, labs and professional skills sessions. I was principal author and editor of the Phase 1 cases, and also the cases used by the Endocrine/Reproduction block in Phase 2. I conducted facilitator training and evaluation for the 18 small group tutorials.
2004-date Charter Member, Core Teaching Faculty.
In 2004, the medical school Dean invited 24 faculty leaders in education to establish the Core Teaching Faculty. This group has been charged with assuming creative leadership to drive the future of medical education at Wake Forest. Initially the CTF has subdivided into working groups focusing on specific objectives and goals, including curriculum delivery, student evaluation, educational research, and future curricular designs. I am a member of working groups on faculty development, case preparation for small groups.
