General Information
Indiana's third largest city, Evansville is the economic, retail, and manufacturing hub of the three-state area serving northwestern Kentucky, southeastern Illinois, and southwestern Indiana. It is an area undergoing rapid growth and expansion through which the Ohio River flows as both artery of commerce and backdrop for cultural and recreational activities.
Because the region's principal medical referral center is Evansville, our students have access to the expertise of the physicians and specialists who staff the city's clinics and hospitals. Over 200 of these physicians are members of the clinical faculty, providing instruction in the first- and second-year curricula, third-year family practice clerkships, and fourth-year senior electives. A substantial number of these volunteers are Evansville Center for Medical Education (ECME) alumni.
ECME occupies the third floor of the Health Professions Center at the University of Southern Indiana. In addition to offices and research facilities, other features include two tiered classrooms, a multipurpose teaching lab, a gross anatomy lab (with showers for post-dissection clean-up), a center library with a dedicated computer room, private study rooms and carrels, and a student lounge.
Center-based faculty members guide students through the courses that form the framework for their understanding of medicine. First-year students begin their course work with Biochemistry, Gross Anatomy, Histology, and Introduction to Medicine I: Patient-Doctor Relationship. Second semester courses are Physiology, Microbiology/Immunology, Neurobiology, and Introduction to Medicine I: Patient-Doctor Relationship.
The second-year student advances to Pharmacology, General Pathology, and the self-study Biostatistics tutorial in the first semester, and returns from semester break to Medical Genetics and Systemic Pathology. The backbone course of the second year, Introduction to Medicine II, begins in late August and ends in early May.
Enhancing the student-to-physician/instructor dialogue are ECME-sponsored seminars, hospital grand rounds, continuing medical education symposia, summer Hospital Medical Education program (HME), the summer research studies for qualified students, and social events with members of the medical community and the Vanderburgh County Medical Society. Through the teaching hospitals, Deaconess and St. Mary's, students have a wide choice of third-year clerkships and fourth-year electives. Students who are interested in a family practice residency at either hospital may elect to take the majority of their senior electives in Evansville.
The University of Southern Indiana, ECME's state-supported host institution, is the fastest growing of Indiana's colleges and universities. Offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs, USI's enrollment exceeds 10,000. ECME students are accorded special graduate student status entitling them to take advantage of the academic, entertainment, athletic, and recreational facilities available to USI students.
The Evansville Center for Medical Education seeks to help students not only realize their goals of attaining an M.D., but also appreciate the art of practicing medicine. Please visit our Web site at shaw.medlib.iupui.edu/ecme/ecmepage.htm.

Northwest Center for Medical Education
Assistant Dean and Director: Professor Bankston
General Information
The Indiana University School of Medicine—Northwest Center is located in a new building on the Indiana University Northwest campus in the Glen Park area of the city of Gary. The Northwest Center occupies about 28,000 square feet of a Medical/Professional Education building on the southwest corner of the local campus. The current enrollment at the IU Northwest campus is more than 5,000 students. There is an extensive program of evening classes.
Indiana University Northwest sponsors an active local drama group, Theater Northwest. The Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra presents a series of concerts throughout the year. In addition, the numerous cultural events, sports events, and museums in Chicago are an hour or less from Gary. For those who prefer an escape to the outdoors, the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is not to be overlooked, and there are numerous other parks in Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties as well.
A well-populated industrialized region of the state of Indiana, the area offers a variety of housing opportunities in urban and suburban settings. Diverse opportunities for supplementary work, especially for nurses, are available at several major health clinics and seven major hospitals, as are educational opportunities at other local campuses such as Valparaiso University, Calumet College, and Purdue University Calumet.
The curriculum at the Northwest Center is unique in the Indiana system. Called the Regional Center Alternative Pathway, the curriculum is based on problem solving and active learning, called problem-based learning (PBL). In the first two years of medical school, the program integrates basic and clinical sciences into seven Steps or curricular units, presented sequentially. Small groups of five to six students meet three times a week with a faculty tutor to analyze a medical case problem and set the necessary objectives for self-directed study. Students refine and synthesize the learned information in follow-up sessions, and if needed, set new advanced learning objectives. A minimum of optional basic lectures supplements the content at each step, presented by experienced faculty who introduce key concepts and guide and orient students to the appropriate learning objectives. Formal class time is purposely limited to allow for a maximum of study time outside of class. Ordinarily, formal classroom work is finished by noon each day.
The PBL curriculum is supported by a History and Physical Learning Center, with a full-time coordinator and with six examination rooms equipped with videocameras for taping practice and exam interactions with standardized patients. Standardized patients are trained to act as mock patients and to rate student performance as they learn and practice the details of a standard history and physical exam. In addition, the standardized patients are interviewed as part of the PBL sessions in several courses, bringing a degree of realism to the paper case studies. As part of the focused history and physical exam training in the second year, standardized patients simulate difficult interviews, dealing with issues such as breaking bad news, difficult patients, and requests for unethical behavior. These experiences allow students to learn and practice skills with trained personnel in a controlled situation so that upon leaving the Northwest Center, students can be very effective with real patients in the remainder of their education.
Student work with practicing physicians and their patients begins immediately in the first year. Students become part of the medical team at primary care clinics and offices at least one afternoon a week starting in the second week in medical school. As part of medical student training, community physicians help students pick a patient with a chronic ailment to follow over the two years of the curriculum. The status of the chronic patients is presented three times by each student in the two years, to their peers and faculty, including a history and physical, as well as psychosocial, family, insurance, financial, and quality-of-life issues.
Also supporting the PBL curriculum is the Medical Library, the lead library in a consortium of libraries serving all area hospitals. In the library, a full-time librarian and an assistant help students and faculty find the most up-to-date resource material for medical education and research. The library has private study rooms for students and a Learning Center equipped with 20 computers.
The PBL method, as well as the H&P Learning Center, is ideal for teaching, modeling, and assessing the abilities represented by Indiana University's Competency Curriculum, where close observation of individual student behavior is required. The small-group PBL case studies, as well as a number of other activities, like the chronic patient presentations, allow chances for students to demonstrate skills and for faculty to evaluate abilities. Multiple and continuous competency evaluation is a part of every step in the PBL curriculum.
Northwest Center is unique in its support of the student-led Continuous Quality Improvement Program. Under this program, students and faculty are true partners in improving the educational experience for the benefit of both themselves and future students.
In addition to medical students, the center accepts graduate students working toward the Ph.D. in basic science in collaboration with the respective department in Indianapolis. The center also accepts postdoctoral fellows, who are trained in advanced research under the auspices of the center faculty.
Medical students are welcome to participate in the individual faculty research programs currently under way at the Northwest Center.
Students are encouraged to attend (a) the weekly series of seminars in basic sciences and in clinical research; (b) the continuing education programs and symposia for physicians; and (c) a number of other medical educational activities offered by local hospitals.
The Northwest Center for Medical Education also houses a medical genetics clinic and a cytogenetics laboratory. With this clinic and laboratory, the Northwest Center serves the community and local physicians as a resource center.

A combination of small-group, case-based sessions, supervised laboratory periods, and selected general lectures are used to instruct the students in this step. The clinical cases are designed to stimulate student-directed learning and problem solving with materials gathered from pathology, surgery, and radiology. The laboratories will offer experience in viewing normal structures from gross dissections to electron micrographs. The emphasis of the step is on gathering a general understanding of the correlations of structure with function and on the views of the body possible with the various macroscopic and microscopic imaging techniques. Offered by the Northwest Center only.
PBL 631 Step 3: Systemic Function (6 cr.) This step builds on the knowledge and problem-solving skills the medical students acquire in Steps 1 and 2. Step 3 is a comprehensive analysis of human physiology, organized around the main organ systems of the body. The themes developed over the six-week period explore physiological aspects of cellular phenomena, the autonomic nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the renal system, the respiratory system, the endocrine system, and the gastrointestinal system. Central to the step is a weekly analysis of medical problems. This serves to integrate physiological aspects of the organ systems with clinical problem solving and with material introduced in Steps 1 and 2. Scheduled key lectures are also used to complement the problem-based learning. Offered by the Northwest Center only.
PBL 641 Step 4: Neural Control and Disease (6 cr.) The Neural Control step studies the structure and function of the nervous system. This multidisciplinary step integrates neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neurochemistry with a strong core element of introductory neurology.
