The Pre-health Collection Within MedEdportal's Collaborative: Helping Faculty Prepare Students For The Competencies In The New MCAT~(2015) Exam

摘要

To help faculty prepare and revise courses in all the disciplines represented in the MCAT~(2015) the American Association of Medical Colleges, through its MedEdPORTAL's iCollabora-tive, has established the Prc-health Collection, a repository of reviewed web resources that are openly and freely available to faculty, and indirectly through them to students. The Pre-hoalth Collodion initiative makes use of the Internet to centralize teaching resources and to help faculty at institutions with fewer available resources to incorporate high quality teaching material specifically reviewed to assist students in obtaining the required pre health competencies. As biochemistry com petencies are increasingly represented in the new exam, it is important to grow the number of quality teaching resource, for biochemistry within the portal and to develop a community of users and contributors. A description of the Pre-Health Collection and mechanisms for contributions are presented.
