M6: CONGRESIS 2021: Students workshop on curriculum evaluationMihaela Moscalu/Adrian Ciureanu (UMF)

These activities allow an excellent vector for the disseminating the principles and the stage results of the project. Also, they provide the best opportunity to communicate the fundamentals of this new Curriculum Infrastructure in Medical Education to students and academic staff either from UMF, Romania, and other countries. They also represent a very good opportunity to gather feedback from the congress participants through an Intranet based polling tool within the e-learning platform of UMF. The conclusions of the post-polling statistical analysis will represent the starting point of O5. Besides written feedback, theauthors will also get face-to-face feedback from the reviewers and other authoring teams during the project meeting. Each partner has defined a project team that will attend all project meetings. Each team will consist of one specialist in relevant domains for the project: team manager, educational/pedagogical manager, medical curriculum manager, and IT manager. For each of them proper conditions, including individual access to the platform and secured access to internet will be provided. Also all participants will have access to study and evaluation groups ensuring an optimal access to information and information exchange. UMF will provide, through Romanian College of Physicians, CME credits to all participants, differentiating their roles as students, teachers and trainers.
