This episode features the Christner Strategies team discussing the myths presented in the Secretariat call, focusing on some that we feel could benefit from more context or explanation. Myths we cover in this episode include:
* The major standing committees of the medical school listed in Element 1.3 must be defined in the college bylaws
* What are the benchmarks and cutoffs for data and how can (or should) schools compare themselves to national means
* How and why the LCME Committee can make different recommendations than the survey team

It’s all about the Independent Student Analysis (ISA). We know it’s important but……Stay tuned for the final slide where we provide our thoughts on best practices around the ISA. 

Please contact us if you have a best practice to share or a topic you’d like to see covered for those lonely months with no call.

This month we get up close and personal with the Self-study and preparing for the visit. Please watch but let us sum it up with one sentence. If you wait until 18 months before the visit to start preparing – well, umm, our condolences to you. 

Please contact us if you have a best practice to share or a topic you’d like to see covered for those lonely months with no call.
