Welcome to In the LoopWelcome to the In the Loop newsletter, an initiative of the Wayne State University School of Medicine’s Office of Assessment, Accreditation and Continuous Quality Improvement. As a champion of continuous quality improvement, your medical school has benefited greatly from the feedback of students and other stakeholders the last several years. This feedback has been instrumental in driving positive change. In the Loop aims to keep you informed about these important updates and changes, and the successes we’ve achieved together. This month’s issue is a large one because we are providing you with a detailed list focusing on student relaxation and study spaces on campus and at clinical/hospital sites. A quick backstory: Remember Liaison Committee on Medical Education 2023? Accreditation is our lifeline to providing you with a world-class education. There is an accreditation element dedicated to student study and relaxation space. LCME Element 5.11 ensures medical schools provide adequate student study and relaxation space. This includes providing a variety of environments to accommodate different learning styles and preferences. Here are some of element’s key aspects:
To keep you In the Loop, we want to inform you of these places and changes that are being made. Again, these spaces are here for you to learn, grow and enjoy your time as a medical student. So, let’s get started … We hope you enjoy this issue of In the Loop as well as the issues to come in the months ahead. You can have your voice heard by submitting questions or comments via the Warrior Med Suggestions Program. You are free to include your name and contact information or to remain anonymous. All issues of In the Loop can be found on the Office of Assessment, Accreditation and Continuous Quality Improvement website. Sincerely, Kanye Gardner |
