Activities

1.
Titles should have the first letter of each word capitalized. However, there is no need to capitalize the first letter of articles (an, a, etc.) or conjunctions (or, for, and, etc.).
2.
Please use a dash “- “ to separate segments in a session’s title (rather than a colon or any other symbol), and if applicable use the “Oxford” comma.
3.
The qualifiers ‘lecture,’ ‘virtual patient,’ ‘online module,’ ‘clinical experience,’ or an activity type should not be included in the session’s title. Examples:
  • “Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - Lecture” should be “Fetal Alcohol Syndrome”
  • “Ethics - Small Group” should be “Ethics”
  • “Clinical Experience - Blood Pressure Measurement” should be “Blood Pressure Measurement”
4.
Every session should have a unique name to help distinguish it in the database and for reporting. However, there are a few cases where two sessions may have the same name:
4. Examples
  • A Lecture and corresponding Lab have the same exact name, so the Lecture should be the stand-alone name and the Lab should have ‘– Lab’ after the title.
    • Lecture = “Anatomy of the Upper Airways”
    • Lab = “Anatomy of the Upper Airways – Lab”
  • Art and Practice of Medicine Lectures and Small Groups have the exact same name, so the Lecture should be the stand-alone name and the Small Group should have ‘ – Cases’ (if cases are being discussed) or ‘ – Practice’ (if clinical skills are being practiced) after the title.
    • Lecture = “Ethics - Conflict of Interest”
    • Small Group = “Ethics - Conflict of Interest – Cases”

Exceptions

The “Case-Based Learning”, sessions should have the name of the patient presented in the case in the title, so it is acceptable to use numbers to follow the title, separated by a dash (-), regardless of the learning objectives being the same or different between each session; (1 or 2 or 3, etc.). Note: in the future, this would allow for different objectives for each session in a case.

Example:

  • “Adonis Garcia – 1″ 
  • “Adonis Garcia – 2″
  • “Adonis Garcia – 3″

Sessions that are part of a series should have roman numerals to distinguish between them, regardless of the objectives being the same or different between each session; (I or II or III – etc.)

Examples:

  • “Disorders of the Stomach I”
  • “Disorders of the Stomach II”

Clinical Skills Workshop (CSW) from Art and Practice of Medicine is acceptable to use “Title – CSW Course Code – #” (The number will be in consecutive order throughout the pre-clerkship phase, independent of the curricular week)

Example:

  • “Medical History Taking – CSW 501 – 1″

Avoid Acronyms

Please try to avoid the use of acronyms and if required, always write out the full text followed by the acronym; in brackets. 

Examples:

  • “Overview of CHF” should be “Overview of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)”

  • “Diagnosis of CNS Infections” should be “Diagnosis of Central Nervous System Infections”

Long Session Names

When the session names are too long, a shorter version can be used to add to the schedule. The full session title can be used for the actual session materials.
