At Geisel School of Medicine, under the authority and guidance of the Medical Education Committee (MEC), a multidisciplinary team of administrators, faculty, staff, and student leaders are dedicated to delivering a high quality, dynamic curriculum to all students in the MD Program. Increasingly, Geisel is embracing a competency-based educational framework as championed and articulated by the AAMC in 2024.
All unsolicited new required curriculum proposals will be referred to the New Curriculum Proposal Committee (NCPC) for review. All proposals must be submitted by either a Geisel-affiliated faculty member or a student with a Geisel-affiliated faculty sponsor. Educators will prepare a new required curriculum proposal submission, which outlines the framework of, and rationale for their idea.
The required four-year MD program is currently at maximum capacity with respect to total curricular hours. Therefore, if new curriculum content is added or integrated, it will necessitate other content be sunset or condensed. The decision to retire curriculum is under the purview of the MEC and Geisel’s phase deans, in consultation with the relevant course and clerkship directors.
The activities of the NCPC will abide by all existing school policies and procedures, as well as LCME requirements and federal regulations regarding students enrolled in our educational programs.
For questions, please contact the NCPC Chair.
