“This council will be a tremendous resource for networking, comparing notes and sharing innovative solutions,” Brose said, adding that one of his main goals in the assembly is to discuss how to bring more funding to medical schools and how to manage the reduction of funding that a lot of schools are experiencing.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Faculty development tidbit: The name game

            The Name Game is an ice-breaker and collaborative learning exercise that helps you learn your students' names quickly and it helps them to learn each other's names. It’s also a fun way to demonstrate early on that collaboration has advantages over working in isolation.

            Start by having seven to ten students introduce themselves and then ask an individual in the group to name other individual:

            If Susan doesn't know the name of the person next to Attila, say, “Ask Attila” or “Ask Luke!” This way, you can keep everyone on his or her toes, because anyone might be made responsible for an answer at any time—and everyone knows that someone nearby can be counted on for help. No one is made to feel stupid, because the entire group helps out.

You can play the name game at the beginning or end of the class, and it’s also to interject in the middle of a long class, to rev up attention.
