The UNM Health Sciences Center will host two meetings for faculty, staff and students to discuss expansion of interdisciplinary activities at the HSC. The meetings will be held Tuesday, April 1 from 4 to 5 p.m. in the College of Pharmacy/College of Nursing Auditorium, and on main campus Monday, April 7 from 3 to 5 p.m. in SUB Ballroom A.
A few of the talking points include:
• Interdisciplinary education makes an impact on the quality of education provided to our students. The goal is to expand those offerings and make them a more integral part of the education for students.
• Committees, composed of key constituents, need to make recommendations regarding the oversight of various IDE activities (faculty members need support in developing interdisciplinary courses).
• Faculty members, staff members and living treasures need to know how to teach interdisciplinary courses.
• The office of IDE needs help in developing a web site that contains an annotated bibliography of articles and resources for interdisciplinary education.
