MD A Ntl. board exam to be made and require passage of to teach "Basic Sciences," Stateside?

[bigindian4891]

What ground would I have to stand on to give a lecture on, for instance, clinically relevant pelvic anatomy? [edit: very little]. I would not give that lecture. That would be [edit: almost] unethical.

So you're suggesting people should not talk about things they have no knowledge in?

The person who started this thread should have taken your advice.

1. If you are spending that much time creating a new one hour lecture to replace one by a faculty member who left, that means you are seriously lacking in fundamental knowledge in your area.
2. If you are a Microbiologist, you should not be lecturing on, for instance, Biostatistics. This is bad. Especially if your program does not have a Biostatistician to lecture on the topic.
3. It is alarming if you are solely responsible for delivering didactics to clinical students (OMSIII is clinical, correct?) without the presence of, for instance, an ID specialist, again, if you happen to be a Microbiologist.
4. How often does a new discovery at the basic science level mandate a lecture on the discovery, even one in Oncology, as a part of a pre-clinical undergraduate student's curriculum?
5. How often do significant changes occur to the pre-clinical curriculum that require significant alteration of "already-made" lectures?
6. Creating a review session for Boards is very easy, and, after having constructed an intitial review, consume very little time to update, accordingly. I am sorry, but I just can't imagine it not being so with the experience you have. You would be asked to retire if you were in the program I am a part of if that was the case.
7. The bit about learning nothing from dissection is absolutely random and has, at the least, nothing to do with anything I've written thus far in this thread, and, at the most, directly contradicts what I have written thus far in this thread.

Wow, you have so misinterpreted what I wrote, that I am thinking that you are either trolling, heading down the loose cannon pathway or are unteachable. So, I'm not to waste any further time. Ordinarily, I think I'd hit the Ignore function now, but this thread is already a train wreck, so I'll just heat up some popcorn.

But lastly, seriously, a national board exam for teaching ability???? That's as predictive as Step I being a predictor of who's a good doctor.

Obviously, that was a general statement, and highly dependent on the lectures you are tasked with presenting. [edit: Your response, on the other hand, is quite stupid.]

Love you too

We should do dinner sometime. Except at a fish and chip place, I don't like British restaurants.

Sure, I'm sure we could find one somewhere around Baltimore. [edit: Misread that. Shame, really, about not liking fish and chips]. But, hang on, why assume that I like them?

Maybe because a lecture on basic head and neck anatomy is easier to give/prepare for a group of people that have had 5+ years of medical education, including an in-depth course in anatomy and practical experience with that anatomy on a regular basis, than for a group of people in which a large proportion have never taken an anatomy class and have no practical experience with that anatomy?

I suppose I could have been clearer. I had meant that I could prepare the lecture for the medical students in 4 hrs. So, why should it take a clinical anatomist 26 more?

I thought you were British. It's ok, Baltimore has nice places!

"Now you are displaying your ignorance of teaching.
It definitely takes me at least 24 hours to create a brand new one hour lecture."

What did I misinterpret, bruh? I would suggest a psychiatric eval. 20 years teaching? You could be up there in age... Dementia and what not, y'know?

I hear the local hospital there has a good cafeteria.

Eww. Let's go to an actual restaurant. With some fine wine, good apps, and some yummy dessert!!!

I dunno... That may get the residents thinking... Seeing a surgeon outside of the hospital? Taking the time to sit down and eat a meal at a nice place? That's dangerous. Then again, why would they even be outside of the hospital, themselves? I suppose it might just work.
