College releases electronic curriculum guide
Internal medicine program directors now have an electronic tool to help them design and implement curriculum.
The College coordinated revisions to the Resource Guide on Curriculum Development from the Federated Council of Internal Medicine (FCIM) and made it available as electronic spreadsheets.
These curriculum-planning spreadsheets can help program directors prioritize competencies and track clinical rotations and evaluation methodologies. The spreadsheets are useful not only as planning documents, but also for providing evidence of curriculum planning for accreditation site visits.
For more information, go to www.acponline.org/fcim/.
ACP-ASIM honored for public relations efforts
The College garnered awards from two professional associations for excellence in public relations.
The College's monthly video news release "Internal Medicine Report" received an EPIC Award for excellent performance in communications from the Philadelphia Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators.
The "Doctors for Adults" Web site won two awards: a Pepperpot Award for excellence in Web site communications from the Philadelphia Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America, and an EPIC Award for excellent performance in communications from the Philadelphia Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators.
