New
Project Provides Resources to
Health Science Faculty |
| |
|
| |
Faculty
in Medical, Nursing, Dentistry and Allied Health
fields face unique challenges and responsibilities.
Serving the needs of students, responding to the
profession's demand for providing the best-qualified
graduates, and also ensuring that patients needs
are being met can pull these busy educators in many
different directions. There are not many resources
to support health science educator's specific needs�until
now. |

Oregon
Health Sciences University's Center on Self-Determination
is excited to announce a valuable resource for Health
Science Educators. The Health Sciences Students
with Disabilities Faculty Education Project is one
of 22 projects funded by the U.S. Department of
Education, Office of Postsecondary Education. All
of these projects have a common theme--providing
tools to faculty to help them effectively teach
their increasingly diverse student population, particularly
students with disabilities. However, the Health
Science Faculty Education Project is the only project
that focuses on health sciences education programs. |

Oregon
Health Sciences University has partnered with Portland
Community College Health Science Programs,the University
of Tennessee Health Sciences Center, and Dartmouth
Medical School to provide these campuses with valuable
information about how to most effectively teach
students with diverse learning needs, including
students with disabilities, within the context of
the unique challenges and environments of health
science programs. There are several resources that
are being made available to the faculty, administrators
and staff of these and other institutions. Workshops,
seminars, brown bag lunches and technical assistance
that are custom designed for each schools' faculty
provide information about teaching strategies, laws
and policies, technology, and problem solving strategies.

A
set of videotapes are in development that highlight
exemplary health science students and professionals
with diverse abilities. These videotapes and the
faculty training curricula will be made available
to other programs in the Spring of 2002.
This
web site will keep faculty updated on the latest
information, events, and resources. Teaching strategies,
technology descriptions, and success stories will
be added monthly to our web site, along with informative
articles and links. Check out the "Idea Exchange"
section where Martha, the Project's lead workshop
facilitator will answer questions from faculty
and others. Your feedback is valuable to making
this website an informative and useful resource.
Please take a moment to fill
out our survey and give us your opinions and
feedback.
