How UNC Medical School Faculty Use the Calendar Tool

The UNC School of Medicine is using the Calendar Tool in unique ways. We thought you’d like to see how!

Dr. Kurt Gilliland and Dr. Ed Kernick co-directed a course of 160 first-year medical school students in the Fall 2009. The intensive face-to-face course contained the content equivalent to a full semester in a compressed 9-week period. To help everyone stay on track, the course designers and faculty used the calendar as the organizing principle of the course. Below is an example that links to additional screen shots (from a current Med School course).

Thank you, School of Medicine for your fresh ideas! We like them!
