1.2.2 Clinical and Preclinical Teaching

The Health Programs Faculty member is obligated to provide, coordinate, or assist in giving instruction to students who may include undergraduate and graduate nursing students, medical students, residents, post-doctoral fellows, and practicing professionals in the environments in which the patient care mission of the Medical and Nursing Colleges is carried out.  Teaching responsibilities may be supported on general fund dollars.  Such instruction would typically include required or elective clerkships for medical students and supervision and direct instruction for residents and post-doctoral fellows. Health Programs Faculty may also be assigned pre clinical instructional duties (i.e. in College interdepartmental programs, physical examination and interviewing courses, systems courses, etc.). Health Programs Faculty may also participate in training Programs and continuing medical/nursing education efforts supported and sponsored by the Colleges. Evaluation of student progress as an integral piece of the educational process would also be included as a faculty responsibility in this area. Health Programs Faculty are expected to observe the University, College and department/school policies regarding such matters as the statement of course objectives, examination policy, office hours, course evaluation, and other provisions of the Michigan State University Code of Teaching Responsibility.
