AAMC MedEdPORTAL: Providing Online Resources To Advance Learning in Medical Education

The AAMC announces the launch of MedEdPORTAL, a web-based tool that promotes collaboration across disciplines and institutions by facilitating the exchange of peer reviewed educational materials, knowledge, and solutions. MedEdPORTAL will serve as a central repository of high quality educational materials such as PowerPoint presentations, assessment materials, virtual patient cases, and faculty development materials.

MedEdPORTAL will be implemented in phases through 2005 and 2006. During the initial phase, non-web-based educational materials and those that are available on external websites will be peer-reviewed, referenced, and linked on the MedEdPORTAL site. Faculty may submit their web sites or educational materials at anytime for peer review and if accepted, the resources will be referenced in the MedEdPORTAL system as a peer reviewed resource.

The MedEdPORTAL web address is www.aamc.org/mededportal

Individuals interested in submitting educational materials for peer review can review the peer review guidelines and download the submission form from the following MedEdPORTAL web page: www.aamc.org/meded/mededportal/publish.htm

A detailed implementation timeline is available on the following MedEdPORTAL web page: http://www.aamc.org/meded/mededportal/timeline.htm

Please send questions to Robby Reynolds or Dr. Chris Candler at mededportal@aamc.org


CurrMIT
The Curriculum Management Information Tool (CurrMIT) is an index that contains curricular information from medical schools across the U.S. and Canada. CurrMIT allows each medical school to better understand and administer its own curriculum, as well as learn from curricula at other institutions.

The information in CurrMIT can be used to:

  • Manage the organization and content of the medical student education program
  • Respond to surveys more quickly and easily
  • Prepare for LCME accreditation more efficiently
  • Determine how the allocation of resources at your school reflects your mission
  • Gain valuable information about other schools’ curricula
    (Reference - AAMC CurrMIT website)


How is CurrMIT used at IUSM?
CurrMIT assists in conducting comprehensive quality reviews of the curriculum, comparing IUSM teaching and assessment methods with those of other premier medical education centers, analyzing trends in medical education, and sharing IUSM’s innovations in medical education with other institutions.
