The Medical Education Curriculum Projects elective provides for a MS4 student the opportunity to use a systematic instructional design process to discover, design, develop, and deploy in four weeks an instructional project on a content area of their choice. The focus of the elective is to learn and apply nontraditional curricular formats (e.g., integration of basic sciences and clinical content using technology, online modules, innovative study tools, and simulations.) Each student meets with a Faculty member as the content expert and the Elective Director a month in advance of the elective to approve the topic, and then weekly to review the deliverables and decide how the project will be implemented. GOAL: The purpose of this elective is to guide the MS4 student through the development of an instructional project for the current BUSM curriculum, presentation at a conference, posting to an educational portfolio, or for their future roles as physicians, educators, and researchers.
