ED-2. The objectives for clinical education must include quantified criteria for the types of patients
(real or simulated), the level of student responsibility, and the appropriate clinical settings needed
for the objectives to be met.
Each course or clerkship that requires physical or simulated patient interactions should
specify the numbers and kinds of patients that students must see in order to achieve the
objectives of the learning experience. They should also specify the extent of student
interaction with patients and the venue(s) in which the interactions will occur. A
corollary requirement of this standard is that courses and clerkships will monitor and
verify, by appropriate means, the number and variety of patient encounters in which
students participate, so that adjustments in the criteria can be made if necessary without
sacrificing educational quality.

ED-8. There must be comparable educational experiences and equivalent methods of evaluation
across all alternative instructional sites within a given discipline.
Compliance with this standard requires that educational experiences given at alternative sites be
designed to achieve the same educational objectives. Course duration or clerkship length should
be identical, unless a compelling reason exists for varying the length of the experience. The
instruments and criteria used for student evaluation, as well as policies for the determination of
grades, should be the same at all alternative sites. The faculty who teach at various sites should
be sufficiently knowledgeable in the subject matter to provide effective instruction, with a clear
understanding of the objectives of the educational experience and the evaluation methods used to
determine achievement of those objectives. Opportunities to enhance teaching and evaluation
skills should be available for faculty at all instructional sites.
While the types and frequency of problems or clinical conditions seen at alternate sites may vary,
each course or clerkship must identify any core experiences needed to achieve its objectives, and
assure that students received sufficient exposure to such experiences. Likewise, the proportion of
time spent in inpatient and ambulatory settings may vary according to local circumstance, but in
such cases the course or clerkship director must assure that limitations in learning environments
do not impede the accomplishment of objectives.
To facilitate comparability of educational experiences and equivalency of evaluation methods, the
course or clerkship director should orient all participants, both teachers and learners, about the
educational objectives and grading system used. This can be accomplished through regularly
scheduled meetings between the director of the course or clerkship and the directors of the
various sites that are used.
The course/clerkship leadership should review student evaluations of their experiences at
alternative sites to identify any persistent variations in educational experiences or evaluation
methods.
__________________________________________________________________________________
For each course or clerkship offered at more than one site, describe the following:
a. How faculty members at all sites are oriented to the objectives and grading system for the course or
clerkship.
b. How often individuals responsible for the course or clerkship at all sites communicate regarding
planning, implementation, student evaluation, and course evaluation.
c. Faculty development activities related to teaching and evaluation skills that are available to
instructional staff across sites.

ED-23. A medical school must teach medical ethics and human values, and require its students to
exhibit scrupulous ethical principles in caring for patients, and in relating to patients’ families and
to others involved in patient care.
Each school should assure that students receive instruction in appropriate medical
ethics, human values, and communication skills before engaging in patient care
activities. As students take on increasingly more active roles in patient care during their
progression through the curriculum, adherence to ethical principles should be observed
and evaluated, and reinforced through formal instructional efforts.
In student-patient interactions there should be a means for identifying possible breaches
of ethics in patient care, either through faculty/resident observation of the encounter,
patient reporting, or some other appropriate method.
“Scrupulous ethical principles” imply characteristics like honesty, integrity, maintenance
of confidentiality, and respect for patients, patients’ families, other students, and other
health professionals. The school’s educational objectives may identify additional
dimensions of ethical behavior to be exhibited in patient care settings.

ED-26. The medical school faculty must establish a system for the evaluation of student
achievement throughout medical school that employs a variety of measures of knowledge, skills,
behaviors, and attitudes.
Evaluation of student performance should measure not only retention of factual
knowledge, but also development of the skills, behaviors, and attitudes needed in
subsequent medical training and practice, and the ability to use data appropriately for
solving problems commonly encountered in medical practice.
The LCME urges schools to develop a system of evaluation that fosters self-initiated
learning by students and disapproves of the use of frequent tests which condition students
to memorize details for short-term retention only.

ED-33. There must be integrated institutional responsibility for the overall design, management,
and evaluation of a coherent and coordinated curriculum.
The phrase “integrated institutional responsibility” implies that an institutional body
(commonly a curriculum committee) will oversee the educational program as a whole.
An effective central curriculum authority will exhibit:
- Faculty, student, and administrative participation.
- Expertise in curricular design, pedagogy, and evaluation methods.
- Empowerment, through bylaws or decanal mandate, to work in the best interests of the
institution without regard for parochial or political influences, or departmental
pressures.
The phrase “coherent and coordinated curriculum” implies that the program as a whole
will be designed to achieve the school’s overall educational objectives. Evidence of
coherence and coordination includes:
- Logical sequencing of the various segments of the curriculum.
- Content that is coordinated and integrated within and across the academic periods of
study (horizontal and vertical integration).
- Methods of pedagogy and student evaluation that are appropriate for the achievement
of the school’s educational objectives.
Curriculum management signifies leading, directing, coordinating, controlling, planning,
evaluating, and reporting. Evidence of effective curriculum management includes:
- Evaluation of program effectiveness by outcomes analysis, using national norms of
accomplishment as a frame of reference.
- Monitoring of content and workload in each discipline, including the identification of
omissions and unwanted redundancies.
- Review of the stated objectives of individual courses and clerkships, as well as
methods of pedagogy and student evaluation, to assure congruence with institutional
educational objectives.
Minutes of the curriculum committee meetings and reports to the faculty governance and
deans should document that such activities take place and should show the committee’s
findings and recommendations.
