Here are some of the things I took away from the presentation. I
have not added them to the document since some are my own
ideas/opinions.
Attendance
We had 12 people in the audience, 7 of them were not part of the
project.
Ideas
1) Establish protocols to vet self-reported data; included an
attribute for "Intensity" of experience. I imagine
this could be similar to the way we describe an authorship role
when we are not first author on a paper.
2) Consolidate Informal and Formal Extra-curricular into one
Extra-curricular category and then have "verified"
and "un-verified" as an attribute of the entry.
3) We learned that ERAS is being rebuilt is there a way to
leverage this to facilitate some of the data transfer?
4) What lessons can we learn from the implementation of
AAMC's ERAS and VSP applications?
5) Over time, more of the informal extracurricular activities
will become portfolio entries since most of them can be linked
to one of the 6 ACGME competencies. This will provide a more
natural context of their "Intensity."
6) Add category for Legacy Projects/Publications. I hesitate to
use the word "Scholarship" since students think
first of financial support, not academic scholarship.
