Revision to English competency score requirement for international applicants

The minimum expected English Competency test scores have been revised for our programs. The new minimums are:

TOEFL internet-based test (iBT): 94 overall, 22 Reading, 24 Writing
IELTS: band scores of 7 overall, 7 Reading, 7 Writing

English competency test scores are generally required for those applicants whose native language is not English. Applicants who are currently living and working in an English-speaking country or have graduated from a University where the instruction is in English are exempt. A request to waive the test requirement can be made if the applicant can show moderate to high competency in academic reading and writing.

Competency is judged by test scores and all other communications with the program office, including the application essay and all email communications. If necessary, additional writing samples may be requested.

Congratulations Summer 2015 Graduates!

Catalyst Update

In the last newsletter, we informed you about changes to the application process beginning Fall 2016 and hinted that this was only one change coming.  The University has been undertaking the massive task of upgrading from a homegrown Student Information System (SIS) to Catalyst, the UC branding of PeopleSoft Campus Solutions. Along with this, they have adopted a new Prospect Management and Application Management system (Radius). Getting these new systems to talk with each other, and with other systems and data warehouse applications that are staying in place, is a huge task. If you've been through adoption of a new large-scale EMR application, you have some idea of what is involved with changing a system that affects nearly every aspect of your business.  We'd love to believe the rollout will be smooth and seamless, but we know there will be bumps and glitches along the way.

By Fall 2016, all student data will be migrated from the current SIS to Catalyst.

How this affects our students
As Catalyst continues to be customized, we are learning little-by-little about what changes to expect. We will learn much more once the system rolls out and gets widespread testing by users.

However, we do know now that, beginning Fall 2016, all of our students will have to register for courses themselves. We will not be able to submit course registrations in bulk for our courses. This has implications for how and when we bill for our courses, and we still need to work out those specifics. So, stay tuned for lots more information to come!

Dan Schumacher

Dan Schumacher was a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellow at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center when he began the online masters program in 2009.  He graduated with his MEd in 2012 and moved to Boston where he served as an assistant professor of Pediatrics (Boston Medical Center) and Associate Program Director at the Boston Combined Residency Program in Pediatrics (Boston Children’s Hospital and Boston Medical Center).  Dan returned to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Summer 2015 and currently serves as an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics.

Dan is involved in national activities that are shaping the future of medical education in the United States. He was one of 8 authors of the Pediatric Milestones which serves as the backbone for the ACGME’s Next Accreditation System.  Dan acknowledged that the MEd provided a critical foundation for this work. He is also a visiting scholar of the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) and a previous visiting scholar of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). He is still actively involved with several other national activities as an invited participant of the Future of Testing Conference (ABP), a member of the sub-specialty clinical training and certification task force of the ABP, and a scholar in milestones and entrustable professional activities. Dan has 26 peer-reviewed publications in the past 5 years helping frame the national dialogue around medical education.

Read his December 2013 article, "The Quest Toward Unsupervised Practice: Promoting Autonomy, Not Independence. (JAMA. 2013;310(24):2613-2614. doi:10.1001/jama.2013.282324.)

Updated program handbook available

An updated program handbook for the 2015-2016 academic year is now available. You can download the current program handbook at http://bit.ly/1N7qABx.

About the Cincinnati MedEd Programs

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, in partnership with the University of Cincinnati College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services (CECH), offers graduate-level accredited programs for physicians and other healthcare providers involved with or interested in medical teaching and learning or educational research. Those in clinical fellowships may also seek the MEd degree as an alternative to the traditional MPH or MS degrees.

The emphasis of these programs is on adult learning, curriculum and teaching methods, and medical education evaluation and research. The programs are entirely online with no onsite requirement – everything from orientation through final project defense are conducted via internet and telephone using web-based course management and conferencing applications.

Online Master of Education (MEd)

The online master of education is offered for those who desire an advanced degree and have an interest in medical teaching and learning beyond the level of the certificate or have an interest in educational research and scholarship. The 30 credit hour program can be completed in as little as two or as many as five years. The degree issued is a master of education in curriculum & instruction. If a designation of “medical education” is desired on the transcript, students have the option of earning the certificate program first or concurrently with the MEd.

Online Certificate in Medical Education

The certificate in medical education is a stand-alone distance learning program designed to provide basic knowledge and skills in educational pedagogy tailored to healthcare professionals. The four courses (12 credit hours) are selected by the participant from the MEd program courses to best meet his or her goals and needs. Participants will receive a certificate of medical education (curriculum & instruction), with such designation on the official transcript. If, at the end of the program, continuation into the MEd is desired, all 12 credit hours may be transferred into the master’s degree program.

Box Cloud Storage for UC Students, Faculty & Staff

The University of Cincinnati offers a free 500 GB Box cloud storage account to all students, faculty and staff. This replaces the UCFileSpace account and is a secure, full-functioned UC-hosted cloud service. It can be used to securely store and share any type of document, including course work and research data, but it is not approved for storage of data covered by HIPAA.

For more info, visit kb.uc.edu. To activate your account, visit uc.edu/ucit/box.

Google Apps for Education Accounts for Current Students

The College of Education, Criminal Justice & Human Services (CECH) offers a Google Apps for Education account for students, faculty & staff. If you currently use Google Drive with a gmail account, this would be a separate, non-commingled account (however, you can share folders and documents with your gmail account). It includes all functionality and apps except email, and it includes up to 5 TB of cloud storage. It is approved for research data, including data covered by HIPAA.

To access, sign into Google using your full UC email address and password. You will then be redirected to a second UC login, where you will login with your regular UC username and password.

If you get a message that your account is not recognized, let us know, and we'll request an account for you.

Office 365 Available with UC Student Accounts

Office 365 is included with your UC student email account and is accessed by signing into your UC student email (mail.uc.edu). It is not currently accessible through staff/faculty email, but should be at some time in the future. Office 365 gives you free limited, web-based versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, and more, plus 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage and a license to download a copy of the Office programs to 5 personal computer and 5 tablets.

For PC and Mac installation instructions, see www.uc.edu/ucit/students/email/Windows.html

Important Note
Student email (and Office 365) accounts do not automatically expire when you are no longer a student at the University of Cincinnati - you get to keep it as an alumni as long as you access it at least once a year.

New for Fall 2015 - Revised Statistics and Practicum Classes

We are very pleased to let you know that we are completing revising both the Statistics course and the Practicum course, effective Fall 2015.

EDST7010: Statistics I
Yan Yang is taking over this course and is rebuilding it from the ground up. The new course will be more about the “so what” of statistics and less about the “how” (although the “how” will still be there!). Emphasis will be placed on the interpretation and analysis of the statistics. We are dropping R (unless you really want to use it) and exploring various statistical analysis tools, including Excel and SPSS.

CI6075: Practicum
The Practicum is also being completely redesigned. It will still include an e-portfolio requirement, but will be broken into 3 5-week segments: 1) perspectives on leadership, 2) career planning and goals, and 3) practical teaching application and reflection. The three segments will be inter-related. These changes are based on feedback over the past few years on both this course and the program as a whole, and we expect that this new course will be more meaningful to students and applicable to their career growth.

New Application and Requirements Starting Fall 2016

As part of an extensive replacement of the entire Student Information System (SIS) at the University of Cincinnati, there is a new program application that is rolling out starting with Fall 2016. One of the procedural changes with the new application involves transcripts.

Starting with applicants for Fall 2016, we are required to review applications using only an unofficial transcript. Applicants will be required to upload their unofficial transcripts into the application. If the applicant is accepted into the program, they must then request official transcripts be sent directly. It is the University's intention to save applicants the cost of ordering official transcripts unless they are actually admitted into the program.

We have decided to transition to this new requirement prior to Fall 2016. Applicants for Spring and Summer 2016 are being encouraged to upload unofficial transcripts into their application and order official transcripts only after acceptance. During the transition period, this is not required but is strongly recommended.
