The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) developed the program in partnership with CSC to assist medical schools in the financial management of their resources through better understanding of medical school faculty productivity and the creation of more open dialogue among the institutional leadership. As part of the program, AAMC sponsors "expert panels" and "user-groups" to assist medical schools in their mission-based management efforts. Expert panels discuss and report on measures to assess faculty productivity and contributions to the education, research and care missions of each institution. User-group meetings allow participants an opportunity to share lessons learned, identify best management practices and discuss individual experiences and implementation processes. In addition to Utah and MCG, the University of Texas Medical School at Galveston is continuing its engagement to design an MBM system for the medical school and other health profession schools. Also, the University of Kentucky School of Medicine and MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine in Philadelphia are taking advantage of the CSC consulting services to address their particular needs. Specifically, MCP Hahnemann is designing a faculty compensation program based on mission-based management principles and Kentucky has engaged CSC to assist in the planning and organization of a faculty leadership retreat.

Extractions: April 17, 1998 KULC Report - Tab 25 KULC, in cooperation with Salt Lake Community College, Utah Valley State College, and the University of Utah, conducted two studies this past year to determine reasons why telecourse students are having difficulties, if any, with their distance learning program. Specifically: The purpose of this study was to determine why telecourse students those who completed three or more weeks of a telecourse chose to withdraw prior to the final date for withdrawing from classes. Students were drawn from the rosters of 20 telecourses offered by the three participating institutions during Fall term 1997. Total enrollments from the three schools for that term equaled 991; 133 students were identified as individuals who had dropped the classes thus becoming part of the group to be interviewed. The primary reasons for withdrawing were lack of time (e.g., not enough time, personal and/or family conflicts, work conflicts), perceived quality or value of the course (e.g., class wasnt what I expected, course work was too difficult, poor instructor, syllabus problems), performance (e.g., not doing well/getting poor grades, course work was too difficult), and cost (e.g., cant afford to stay enrolled). Case Study #2: Study of Attitudes of Telecourse Students Who Withdrew Without Authorization, Received an Incomplete, or Failed.
