What is the Introduction to Clinical Medicine Special Interest Group ?
      The ICM SIG is a forum for directors, teachers and coordinators of medical school courses, and other interested individuals, with interests in the teaching, learning and perfecting and evaluation of clinical skills (to include the knowledge base, interpersonal, social, professional, intellectual and technical skills needed in data gathering, evaluating, and problem solving which will lead to optimal patient care).
           Although traditional Introduction to Clinical Medicine courses have changed their names and their positions within the curriculum and are looking a lot different, the focus on learning and evaluating basic clinical skill remains;  we have chosen to continue the name for the time being.
       The group is interdisciplinary in nature, and affords a unique opportunity for most of its members to share innovative ideas, concerns, successes and learning opportunities. It is created and meets under the auspices of the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Group on Educational Affairs (GEA).



What is the Internet ICM SIG WEB?

      This website will serve as an online networking source between programs and educators interested in curriculum successes and learning opportunities (never are there failures in what we do, unless we fail to learn!). It will contain links to home pages for programs, as they become available, and will be a directory for any program or individual who wishes to share or participate in the network for educational purposes.

       This Page contains a DIRECTORY of some programs that have submitted the information to be listed.  We encourage others to submit and update information to form a useful database of courses addressing clinical skills in Medical Schools.

Who are the members?
      Individuals and/or programs who wish to become part of this website are invited to join the Internet ICM SIG.   The primary list is comprised of members of the AAMC ICM SIG membership, but the list may contain errors because of personnel and program changes that have taken place. The electronic format will allow for updates by its members, so please forward comments, corrections and information to the website coordinator.
