Instructional Multimedia on Portal Imaging Tech. In Radiation Oncology Jean Pouliot, MD, Associate Professor, Radiation Oncology, School of Medicine The goal of this project is to develop a multimedia-based instructional tool to provide the students in Radiation Oncology with a better understanding of portal imaging technology used in high precision radiation therapy. Dr. Pouliot will develop a web-based interactive learning technology to supplement the Therapeutic Radiological Physics Course in the first year of the Radiation Oncology curriculum. Extending Our Reach: Web-based Faculty Development for WOS Clinical Faculty Barbara L. Sauer, Pharm.D., Clinical Professor; Lloyd Y. Young, Pharm.D., Professor and Chair, Dept. of Clinical Pharmacy; Christopher Cullander, Ph.D, Assistant Dean, Student and Curricular Affairs, School of Pharmacy Dr. Sauer and her collaborators will design, implement, and evaluate a web-based faculty development program for the School of Pharmacy's 600+ Without Salary (WOS) Clinical Faculty based throughout the State. The proposed faculty development series will consist of a combination of didactic and case-based modules offered to WOS and paid clinical faculty via WebCT. Identifying & Responding to Families Affected by Domestic Violence: A Video Guide to Domestic Violence Screening Margaret McNamara, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor, Pediatrics, School of Medicine Dr. McNamara will produce a 30-minute instructional videotape on domestic violence (DV) and DV screening to be included in the curriculum for all second-year medical students, nursing students, and pediatrics residents. The principal aims of the video are to sensitize health care professionals early in their careers to recognize at-risk children and families, and to provide them with explicit guidelines for screening patients for DV based on AAP recommendations. Development of a teaching module to teach medical students about caring for homeless patients Sharad Jain, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor, Medicine; Site Director, Categorical Medicine Residency Dr. Jain plans to develop four teaching modules on the healthcare needs of the homeless that can be introduced into the core curriculum of the School of Medicine. Videotaped vignettes and small group discussions will cover interviewing techniques, managing chronic diseases, addressing substance abuse issues, and disease prevention as they relate to this unique population. Development of WebCT cases for the new integrated Family & Community Medicine/Surgical Subspecialty Core Clerkship William B. Shore, MD, Professor and Director, Predoctoral Programs, Family and Community Medicine; Arianne Teherani, PhD, Office of Educational Research and Evaluation; Carol Hodgson, PhD, Director, Office of Educational Research and Evaluation; School of Medicine Using the WebCT platform, Dr. Shore and his collaborators plan to design two pilot web-based integrated cases for use by third-year medical students in the Family and Community Medicine/Surgical Subspecialties required clerkship. With the development of these pilot cases, they hope to model truly integrated cases in which students at all sites can have the same teaching and learning experiences. Enhancing Medicine Core Clerkship Physical Diagnosis Instruction through Web-based and Patient-based Experiential Learning Karen Hauer, MD, Director, Medicine Clerkships; Preetha Basaviah, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine Drs. Hauer and Basaviah will pilot and assess the impact of a multifaceted physical diagnosis course for third year medicine clerkship students entitled the Medicine 110 Physical Diagnosis Project.

Colman and Berven plan to develop a computer-based educational system for surgical simulation, which includes graphical simulation of instrumentation systems used intraoperatively, as well as the anatomic structures. Students will be able to interact in this learning environment before participating in the actual surgery. Interactive Software Tutorials for Teaching Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Jesse Gray, Graduate Student in Biochemistry Mr. Gray will develop interactive computer-based tutorials designed to teach difficult concepts in biochemistry to first year medical, dental and dental hygiene students. The tutorials will include content from the following areas: DNA structure and replication, chromosome structure, the cell cycle, rudimentary genetics, and protein structure and function.
