Potoos and Wobbies

Communication and Clinical Skills
10 minutes

• Consistency with physical exam provision, teaching, documents, and videos; it is unacceptable that we do not have a peripheral neuro and cranial neuro video
• Consistency with preceptors and availability
• NO MSE exam session – concerning considering we do psychiatry as a core block
– Circle back with Dr. Ornstein
• Discuss progress with the tasks document

Continuing conversations

Potentially discuss what the changes are

NEXT STEPS / MOVING FORWARD

• For the Wobbie council, regular meetings with leadership are great
• Communication matters
• c2028 VPAs are not receiving feedback from post-exam surveys – this is not congruent with the motion passed by the SEC which would ensure students are included in these feedback loops
• Email Dr. Desy for follow-up

ATTENDANCE POLICY FOLLOW-UP

UMEC next week; VPAs to follow up

CONTACTING CL2027 IN CLERKSHIP

• Allow CMSA to do their thing and invite UME as needed
• Having open discussion is important
• Regular official meetings and touchpoints
• CMSA meetings vs general class updates can be utilized differently
