Executive Committee Meeting
Thursday, February 14, 2008
103 Dean’s Conference Room
University Park
Presiding: Howard Part, M.D.
Present: Drs. Berberich, Clasen, Czachor, Dunn, Fyffe, Lauf, Lawhorne, LeRoy, Mirkin,
Parmelee, Pickoff, Ventolini and Cindy Young, Betty Kangas, Kym Koester
I. Approval of Minutes of January 10, 2008
The minutes were approved as distributed.
II. Report of the Dean:
A. Local
1. Chair Search Update
a. Department of Medicine – Dr. Glenn Solomon has accepted the position as chair,
Department of Medicine and will officially begin work on June 1, 2008.
b. Dr. Part thanked Dr. John Czachor for doing a remarkable job as interim chair. John
provided excellent leadership and went above and beyond the call of duty.
B. State
1. ORSP status report. The total number of proposals submitted is in the low 20’s instead
of the expected mid 40’s. BSOM has 2 submissions; Neuroscience and Calamityville.
There will be a meeting March 5th in Columbus to discuss the proposals, and there
should be a decision in April or May.
2. State budget shortfall. The state of Ohio is in bad financial shape. Because of a
legislative mandate, the budget must be balanced at the end of the biennium. The
governor and the chancellor have made a commitment to higher education, and no year-
end budget cuts have been announced. We anticipate that the amount we will receive in
the second year will be what the state originally had in mind. Any shortfall will affect
tuition. Undergraduate tuition will not increase because of the instituted 2-year freeze,
but graduate and doctorate programs can increase tuition. However, it remains in our
best interest to minimize any tuition increase.
C. National
1. Proposed IME/DSH funding cuts: The amount of proposed reductions are quite
substantial over the next two years. This may lead to substantial hospital partner belt
tightening and trickle down cuts to us.

III. Information Items
A. Personnel actions (Attachment 1) – Personnel Actions were approved with changes.
B. Members’ Items - none
IV. Old Business - none
V. New Business
A. Dermatology– Dr. Part
Dermatology was downsized to a division within the Department of Medicine after a failed
chair search several years ago. The faculty has grown, the residency program recently
received full accreditation after a few rocky years and research productivity has increased
substantially. In recognition of this success, Dr. Michael Heffernan has been appointed
Chair of the department of Dermatology.
B. Professionalism Task Force – Dr. Part
Several years ago, a task force was charged to review professionalism at the BSOM. Dr. Part
will establish a new task force to examine this issue specifically from the faculty and the
institutional perspective. If any chair would be interested in serving on this task force,
please email Dr. Part.
C. Research Task Force – Dr. Part
Our strategic plan calls for creation of a task force of both clinical and basic science chairs,
to be chaired by the associate dean for research, to help to develop visionary strategies to
build on existing strengths and synergies. Additionally, creative use of BIF as a resource for
augmenting the research mission of the BSOM will be part of the committees charge. The
size of the task force will be minimized to achieve greater productivity.
D. Student Work Duty Hours – Dr. Parmelee (Attachment 2)
LCME accreditation standards call for an enforced work duty hours policy. The Faculty
Curriculum Committee has implemented the attached student work duty hours policy, which
will be included in the BSOM Student Handbook. Students will be asked to report any
violations of this policy, which will begin with the current 3rd year students. This policy will
also be sent to residency directors to ensure that all affected individuals are informed.
E. Marketing and Branding BSOM
WSP and BSOM representatives concluded the process of hiring a firm to assist in branding
and marketing strategies. After a bidding process, Turner Effect has been retained to
conduct extensive research on our constituencies’ perception of the Boonshoft School of
Medicine, Wright State Physicians and Wright State University and how they are connected
in the public’s mind. The goal is to create a strong and consistent brand through effective
research. Turner Effect will help us develop a brand for the Boonshoft School of Medicine
and Wright State Physicians. In addition, Turner Effect will help develop marketing
strategies and help update Vital Signs and our web site.

Children’s Medical Center, and have done an outstanding job for us with the medicine chair
search.

Policy and Procedures Related to Medical Student Work Duty Hours and Management of
Fatigue
1.0 Background
The Liaison Committee on Medical Education Standard ED-#38 states: "The committee responsible
for the curriculum, along with medical school administration and educational program leadership, must
develop and implement policies regarding the amount of time students spend in required activities,
including the total required hours spent in clinical and educational activities during clinical clerkships."
In the annotation to the standard it states: "Attention should be paid to the time commitment required
of medical students, especially during the clinical years. Students' hours should be set taking into
account the effects of fatigue and sleep deprivation on learning, clinical activities, and student health
and safety."
Furthermore, the School of Medicine notes that medical students are not responsible for patient care
activities, and do not perform procedures without direct, on site, close supervision by a licensed health
care provider. As a result, student fatigue should never lead to patient care errors or misjudgments.
While students must learn that high quality patient care requires personal sacrifice including at times,
loss of regular sleep patterns, erratic meal times, and absence from customary social events and
personal recreation, they must strive to discover compensatory strategies to maintain physical and
mental health, as well as appropriate social and personal relationships. Therefore, to protect medical
students from excessive fatigue that may impair functioning, the following policy has been adopted.
SUMMARY OF POLICY: See below for more specific details of policy
Students will be on duty no more than an average of 80 hours per week
Students will not spend more than 30 consecutive hours on duty
Students will receive an average of 1 day in 7 free from all scheduled responsibilities
Students will not be required to take overnight call 2 evenings prior to the end of clerkship
subject exam
2.0 Policy
2.1 Medical students engaged in clinical activity will be on duty no more than 80 hours per
week (averaged over a four week period). For the purposes of this policy, duty hours are
defined as time spent in the hospital or clinics directly related to patient care and on-call
time (even if spent sleeping). Preparation for patient care, educational requirements
such as in-hospital conferences, required didactics, or exams are not considered “duty”
time and may be done outside of the clinical settings.

2.2 Medical students shall not spend beyond 30 consecutive hours in the clinical setting while
on duty. This allows students to remain in the hospital post-call for a few hours in order
to complete on-call notes, patient care, and for the educational experience related to their
on-call activities that may take place during the morning post-call.
2.3 Medical students will be provided with an average of 1 day in 7 free from all educational
and clinical responsibilities, averaged over a 4-week period, inclusive of call. One day is
defined as one continuous 24-hour period free from all clinical and educational
activities.
2.4 Medical students will not be required to take overnight “call” two evenings prior to the end
of clerkship rotation written subject examination.
2.5 Student assignment for 24-hour “call” experiences should be scheduled based on student
learning requirements and never on any service needs of the institution.
2.6 Students must be instructed on the signs and consequences of sleep impairment and
emotional fatigue.
2.7 Students must have adequate sleeping facilities at every teaching site in which 24-hour call
activities occur. These facilities must be available to the student 24 hours a day.
2.8 If a student feels that s/he may be at risk when operating a motor vehicle because of fatigue
or sleep deprivation, they should obtain sleep at the on site call room before departing
the premises or ask someone to take them home.
2.9 Faculty (and residents) should monitor students for symptoms and signs suggestive of
impairment (including learning impairment) due to sleep deprivation and/or emotional
fatigue. The faculty must advise the student appropriately if such observations are
confirmed.
2.10 Faculty must notify the Clerkship Director of any student who suffers continued,
persistent signs of sleep deprivation or emotional fatigue. If the situation persists, then
faculty must notify the Associate Dean of Student Affairs.
2.11 Students should notify the Associate Dean of Student Affairs if they feel their learning is
impaired due to sleep deprivation or emotional fatigue.
2.12 Students should notify the appropriate faculty attending, Clerkship Director or his/her
designee if s/he believes that in any way this policy is being violated.
3.0 Procedure
3.1 Prior to starting the M3 year, all medical students must sign the attached attestation
statement indicating that they have read and understand this policy and will abide by its
Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine

Page 11
standards. The attestation statement should be turned into the Office of Student Affairs
no later than the first day of the M3 year.
3.2 Prior to starting the M3 year, all medical students must complete SAFER training (Sleep
Alertness, and Fatigue Education in Residency). A printed certificate indicating that the
student has successfully completed the training should be turned into the Office of
Student Affairs no later than the first day of the M3 year.
3.3 All visiting students must follow the same procedure prior to being allowed to engage in
clinical activities.
