Program Evaluation
Program evaluation is considered vital to the ongoing quality assessment of the curriculum. The M.D. Degree Program at Saint Louis University is assessed at many levels and from multiple perspectives: student, faculty, staff, and external sources.
Program evaluation at the Saint Louis University School of Medicine covers many different aspects of the curriculum. The M.D. Degree Program combines traditional teacher-centered lectures with student-centered small group and problem-based learning activities. The first year (Phase 1) of the curriculum is focused on the fundamentals of biomedical sciences. The second year (Phase 2) addresses human organ systems. Years 3 and 4 (Phase 3) focus on the acquisition of clinical skills. Seven core clerkships are completed during Phase 3. Most clerkships are completed in Year 3, although students may elect to schedule their clerkship in Family Medicine for the fourth year. The fourth year of the M.D. Degree Program encompasses a wide variety of subinternship, surgical subspecialty, and elective experiences.
The attached table (link below) outlines the curriculum across the four years of the M.D. Degree Program, and identifies the points at which the curriculum is evaluated, both internally and externally throughout the academic year.
