Jacqueline Doyle, AAHSL and University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix; Julia Sollenberger, AAHSL and University of Rochester Medical Center
AAHSL’s Teaching & Learning Oversight Committee (TLOC) is the coordinating body for these efforts, including:
Partnering to determine and assess competencies related to evidence based
search, retrieval and evaluation skills. Supporting LiME in taking responsibility for literature searching courses in MERC. Developing self-paced, interactive instructional modules that teach and assess
competencies of evidence-based search, retrieval and evaluation skills. Conducting research to address research priorities outlined in IIME and GEA
reports. In collaboration with AMIA and/or GIR, developing a review article on the current
state of integration of evidence-based information into the electronic health record. Communicating with AAHSL members regarding progress on implementation plan.

develop an inter-professional informatics curriculum. In November a major grant proposal will be
submitted to establish shared learning objectives and design a core curriculum for use across all
heath professions.

AAHSL, AAMC’s GEA/GIR, AMIA, AAHC and LiME share a vision and many similar goals for the education of physicians and other health professions across the continuum and throughout their careers, among them:
evidence-based healthcare principles and skills learning needs assessment, competencies and outcomes assessment development of self-paced, interactive instruction health sciences educational research integration of evidence-based information into the Electronic Health Record (EHR)
Partnerships among these organizations offer extraordinary opportunities to achieve these and other mutually complementary goals.
