As a subcommittee of CUME, the CIS is charged with developing processes to promote horizontal and vertical integration of the curriculum and to ensure that it meets the program objectives approved by the CUME. The responsibilities of the CIS are to (1) audit the longitudinal curriculum to help identify gaps and redundancies in content and to optimize and coordinate delivery (depth of content and sequence) and assessment to support mastery of the program objectives, (2) develop longitudinal curricular elements (鈥渢hreads鈥�) as needed to address opportunities for improvement identified by curricular audits, and (3) evaluate and report the results of longitudinal threads that are implemented by action of the CUME. To accomplish these functions, the CIS works in close collaboration with the CMDCS and CSS, and with the respective Assistant Deans of the pre-clinical and clinical curricula. The CIS is led by the Assistant Dean of Curriculum Integration and is composed of pre-clinical/basic science faculty, clinical faculty from each clinical campus, student representatives, and ex officio members from the OME. As specified in the COM Bylaws, everyone, except ex officio members, are voting members of CIS.
