The American Association of Medical Colleges' iCollaborative is building a resource collection in response to the COVID-19 pandemic’s significant impact on the teaching and learning of health professionals. Designed by diverse educators, this working collection features clinical learning experiences, which can be readily used or easily adapted for specific, local settings, without the need for physical patient contact.
The AAMC is actively seek submissions of learning experiences, particularly those that support patient care, but do not involve direct patient contact. Once submitted, the resources will be included in a collection that will be free and widely available to the community of medical education.
Please submit resources describing structured learning experiences that:
- Involve no physical contact with patients; and
- Have objectives focused on skills with clinical relevance in broad competency areas.
Submissions may also include supplements such as: checklists, worksheets, lesson plans, cases, or lecture outlines.
All submissions will be reviewed by the collection editor, Lisa Howley, PhD, Senior Director of Strategy Initiatives and Programs, to ensure criteria for inclusion are met. If you have a learning experience you would like to submit to the collection but need additional support, please contact curricularinnovation@aamc.org.
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation has evolved rapidly over the past month since its initial emergence in December 2019. As we know, the CDC confirmed the first possible case of COVID-19 due to community transmission in the United States. At GW, we are closely following recommendations from the World Health Organization, the CDC, and other federal agencies. We are also proactively updating our policies and procedures to ensure the safety of our patients, faculty, students, staff, and visitors in the community.
