Teaching Senior Professors Technology, 2020

This is a collection of my experiences working with Senior age Faculty over age 65 at Universities and Colleges that had little or no knowledge of how to use a computer, let alone how to use MS Word or MS Powerpoint. Some Senior professors could turn a computer and send and receive e-mail and that was all. The reason for this gap in knowledge is that older professors have been passed by in terms of technology training. Colleges and Universities that I worked at would win Federal grants and then buy lots of computers and software and drop them in the professor's laps with no training. Computers to the younger generations is as natural as eating a peanut butter sandwich. For those in the baby boomer generation and age 65 plus computers are an unnecessary waste of time. College professors assume all college students are always playing games on their laptop computers and not doing anything educational. Likewise, from the student viewpoint, Professors that cannot use Powerpoint are dinosaurs in the world of technology.

Although a few of the assessment tools and processes described in the document are new, most have been employed at NYCOM since its inception to inform curriculum design and implementation and to gauge progress and success in meeting the institution's mission, goals and objectives. The Learning Outcomes Assessment Plan documents the processes and measures used by the institution to gauge student achievement and program (curricular) effectiveness. The results of these activities are used by faculty to devise ways to improve student learning and by administrators and other stakeholder groups to assess institutional effectiveness and inform planning, decision-making, and resource allocation. Certain of the measures described in later sections of this document constitute key performance indicators for the institution, for which numerical goals have been set. Performance on these measures has a significant effect on institutional planning and decision-making regarding areas of investment and growth, program improvement, and policy. 4 Key performance indicators and benchmarks are summarized below and also on 151 Indicator Benchmarks  Number of Applicants Maintain relative standing among Osteopathic Medical Colleges  Admissions Profile Maintain or improve current admissions profile based on academic criteria (MCAT, GPA, Colleges attended  Attrition 3% or less  Remediation rate (preclinical) 2% reduction per year  COMLEX USA scores (first-time pass rates, mean scores) Top quartile  Students entering OGME Maintain or improve OGME placement  Graduates entering Primary Care careers Maintain or improve Primary Care placement  Career characteristics Regarding Licensure, Board Certification, Geographic Practice, and Scholarly achievements-TBD application of biomedical, clinical, epidemiological, biomechanical, and social and behavioral sciences in the context of patient-centered care. Practice-Based Learning & Improvement: Practice-Based learning and improvement is the continuous evaluation of clinical practice utilizing evidence-based medicine approaches to develop best practices that will result in optimal patient care outcomes. Professionalism: Medical professionalism is a duty to consistently demonstrate behaviors that uphold the highest moral and ethical standards of the osteopathic profession. This includes a commitment to continuous learning and the exhibition of personal and social accountability. Medical professionalism extends to those normative behaviors ordinarily expected in the conduct of medical education, training, research, and practice. System-Based Practice: System-based practice is an awareness of and responsiveness to the larger context and system of health care, and the ability to effectively identify and integrate system resources to provide care that is of optimal value to individuals and society at large. Interpersonal & Communication Skills: Interpersonal and communication skills are written, verbal, and non-verbal behaviors that facilitate understanding the patient's perspective. These skills include building the physician-patient relationship, opening the discussion, gathering information, empathy, listening, sharing information, reaching agreement on problems and plans, and providing closure. These skills extend to communication with patients, families, and members of the health care team. Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine: Osteopathic philosophy is a holistic approach that encompasses the psychosocial, biomedical, and biomechanical aspects of both health and disease, and stresses the relationship between structure and function, with particular regard to the musculoskeletal system.

The Adjunct Professor's pedagogy of "lecture and leave," is out of date, and ineffective. The pedagogy for faculty for the 21st century is to engage the students in the process of analytical thinking so that it becomes natural in the " real life" profession of medicine.

This section briefly tells your reader where your company is, where you want to take it, and why your business idea will be successful. If you are seeking financing, the executive summary is also your first opportunity to grab a potential investor's interest. The executive summary should highlight the strengths of your overall plan and therefore be the last section you write. However, it usually appears first in your business plan document.
