The main form

• Guidelines for Preparation of Elective Proposals
• In order to facilitate the review of elective
  programs, the following standard format is being
  employed.
• 1. Title - The title of the elective should be
  succinct and include not more than 60 letters. It
  should be as
• specific as possible. For example, "Diagnosis and
  Management of Infertility" is more informative
  than
• "Infertility."
• 2. Department - The department offering the
  course must be designated. If the elective is a
  conjoint
• effort of two departments, or with a non-medical
  college of the university, both should be listed.
  A
• lead department should be designated.

3

• 3. Director Faculty - The director of the
  elective should be the individual who has the
  major
• responsibility for organizing and running the
  program, and for evaluating students. All faculty
  involved
• in presenting the program should be listed, along
  with academic rank and affiliation. When
• appropriate, guest faculty should be included.
• 4. Time Location - Include under this heading
  the number of times a year the elective is
  offered, and
• the duration. The location(s) must also be
  included, e.g., the School of Medicine on campus,
  a
• particular hospital, or outside the Dayton area.
  Also include the lead time required to DROP/ADD
  the
• elective.

4

• (optional)
• 5. Number of Students - The number of students
  which are accepted in the elective each month.
• (optional)
• 6. Prerequisites - Prerequisites for a elective
  may vary from none to a detailed knowledge of a
  specific area.
• 7. Course Description - This should be a brief
  description, not to exceed two paragraphs.

5

• 8. Content Categories - Specific behavioral
  objectives should be listed in terms of what the
  student will
• be able to do at the end of the elective,
  including cognitive knowledge, attitudes, and
  skills.
• 9. Learning Methods -The methods are an
  indication of the precise nature of the learning
  experiences
• of the elective. For example, will the student
  attend lectures or seminars, watch demonstrations
  or
• examinations, work in the laboratory or on the
  wards, or examine specimens or patients.
• 10. Evaluation - There should be a delineation of
  the specific methods for evaluation of the
  student, such
• as oral, written and observation, or any
  combination. Students will be graded
  Honors/Pass/Fail.

• I skipped s 5 and 6
• Instead I entered a rationale section about why I
  wanted to do research as an elective, and how it
  would contribute to my medical career

• 8. CONTENT CATEGORIES
• The purpose of the SIE is to acquaint the student
  with approaches used in exploring medical
  research questions and for the student to learn
  the theoretical basis and practical application
  of specific modern laboratory techniques.
  Specifically, the student will gain experience
  with
• Basic laboratory safety procedures
• Basic experimental study design
• Participating in a research project dealing with
  immunological responses in skin epithelial
  tissue. Understanding the theoretical basis of
  and performing standard molecular biological and
  immunological laboratory assays including
  RNA/DNA isolation, RT-PCR, Western blotting,
  ELISAs,
• Statistical analysis of data collected
• Interpretation of laboratory results
