Ad Hoc Committee for Advice on Curricular Reform
Precisely three years after the holding of the first evaluation of the Medicine Course by the Ad Hoc Committee for Advice on Curricular Reform, the second meeting of this committee, formed by Professors Fernando Lopes da Silva and M. Alistair Warren, was held on the 20th and 21st of February.
The evaluation programme related to the first five curricular years of the Medicine Course, with the day being devoted to the first three years and the second day devoted to the 4th and 5th clinical years.
The activities covered sessions in the Amphitheatre 57 in the Egas Moniz Building, where those responsible for the Curricular Units (Modules and Common Cores) presented the new curriculum for the Medicine Course, its potentialities, principal results obtained and constraints with which they have been confronted, and visits to Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon premises, these being the Anatomy Institute and the Institute of Introduction to Clinical Practice (programme). Of particular note was the feedback supplied by the representatives of the students through the Course Committees and the President of the Students’ Association, about the view that they have of the implementation of the new study plan for the FMUL.
The closing of the encounter was carried out by the Dean of the FMUL, Professor J. Fernandes e Fernandes, with a speech in which he expressed his satisfaction with the way that the works took place and a work of thanks for the professors who made up the Ad Hoc committee. He also showed a desire for it to be possible to return to this assessment when the whole study plan is completely adapted to the Integrated Masters Course in Medicine, as well as an intention to, should this be feasible, hold the encounter with the years dedicated to basic studies and those devoted to clinical teaching on the same day.
As the main conclusions taken from this event are extremely important for the whole FMUL community, Professor Fernando Lopes da Silva, Chairman of this Ad Hoc Committee, was invited to participate in the next issue of the FMUL Institutional Newsletter by writing an article that, besides transmitting the main conclusions taken from the encounter, informs us of the main differences felt and evolution observed during this evaluation process.
