Dr. Dong and Dr. Lecat’s project, “Involving students in the developing of curriculum and teaching content – Student-centered teaching/learning,” will primarily impact the M1 Flora, Pathogens, and Defense (FPD) course module. The overall goal of the project is to involve students in FPD curriculum development and provide high-quality teaching material that is customized to NEOMED’s current College of Medicine curriculum.
Applications are now being accepted for the Education Innovation Award, established to support faculty in developing innovative ways to engage learners. Project proposals should align with the NEOMED COM Educational Program Objectives and support a formal COM curricular component.
All faculty currently teaching in the COM curriculum are eligible for the award. The maximum award amount is $5,000 and is limited to one award per module/course and one award per applicant per academic year. The application is due to comfacdev@neomed.edu by January 15, 2023. Awardees will be announced by March 1, 2023.
Details on the application process, requirements, and the application form can be found on the Education Innovation Award page on the COM Faculty Development website.
