| The IU School of Medicine (IUSM) has been selected for the second consecutive year as one of seven medical schools in the nation to participate in the Millennium Conference. Attendance is by invitation only. The May 1-4 retreat is co-sponsored by the Association for American Medical Colleges and the Carl J. Shapiro Institute for Education and Research.
The focus of the conference is to develop innovative approaches in education to promote the continuum of clinical training in undergraduate and graduate medical education.
At the Millennium Conference last year, many of the innovative directives chosen for IUSM regarding curricular change have already been initiated, according to Dr. Stephen Leapman, executive associate dean for education affairs. Those in attendance are given one year to implement changes approved by the group, and Leapman said he believes a similar approach will be taken at this year’s conference.
Along with IUSM, those who have been invited to attend are Harvard Medical School, University of Texas (Houston) Medical School, Drexel University College of Medicine, Penn State College of Medicine and the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine.
