EDUCATION COUNCIL Meeting Minutes March 15, 2018 Topics Discussion      Outcome/Action Items Current affiliation agreements lacked language relating to shared responsibility between the clinical affiliates and the medical school. The affiliation agreements may be reformatted. The new administrative structure in Dr. Rose’s absence was an area of concern. The scholarship course was rated as not valuable.

The medical school currently uses the University-wide diversity policy. Monitoring of student time. The site visitors complemented the medical school on innovations in the new curriculum, and had no issues with the structure or the content of the curriculum. Residency Match Executive Summary (D. Henderson) The UConn School of Medicine did well in the match, with a 97.4% success rate, compared to 94% nationally. Only three students did not match; one matched to an advanced position but not a preliminary position (they now have a preliminary spot). One found a match through SOAP, and the third was still working on securing a position. 50% of students matched into their first choice, and an additional 30% matched within their top three choices. MOU Creation Between UConn and Quinnipiac at St. Francis (D. Henderson) The UConn School of Medicine is working collaboratively with Quinnipiac University to ensure the curricular needs of both sets of students are met.

The Memorandum of Understanding was reviewed by attorneys at UConn and Quinnipiac and signed by Deans for both medical schools. GME Annual Institutional Review (S.
