Training Workshops
Want to develop new or more advanced skills using the Curriculum
Management and Information Tool (CurrMIT), AAMC's national curriculum
database? Interested in enhancing your skills in educational/curriculum
research? How about learning how to use the new CurrMIT/LCME Database Wizard?
We will be offering three-hour, hands-on workshops at each of
the GEA regional meetings, with time for participants to network with
each other and discuss with CurrMIT staff your institution-specific
issues.
If you've never heard of CurrMIT or how it can assist you with
curriculum management and benchmarking, please join us at any of these
workshops. We'll arrange an overview for you and talk with you
about how CurrMIT can assist you in curriculum planning, review,
management, benchmarking, reporting, and a host of other issues
you deal with on a daily basis.
The registration deadline is March 15. You must register for the regional meetings before registering for the CurrMIT training workshop. Visit the GEA Regional Web sites
for registration information.
