Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine Insight Newsletter May 2015 Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of MedicineInSight May 2015 Prospective Students Can Now Experience Virtual Tours New electronic whiteboard highlights student life What was once an enormous cluttered bulletin board inside the college’s admissions office has been transformed into an innovative electronic whiteboard, capable of housing unlimited resources. The number of achievements, pictures and announcements posted on the bulletin board had become overwhelming; the information spilled over the board and did an insufficient job of reflecting the high-tech environment of the Lerner College of Medicine. The new electronic whiteboard offers Kathleen Franco, MD, Associate Dean of Admissions & Student Affairs, the chance to show visiting students a wide range of student life and accomplishments at CCLCM. Potential students have the chance to experience what being a student at the Lerner College is like. Student publications and student activities are just some of the resources available on the whiteboard. One of the most interactive tools on the board is the A slideshow of student pictures is the first thing that grabs student match map.

Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine InSight | 3 Timeline for LCME Site Visit Preparation is underway for the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) site visit, scheduled for March 2017. Here’s a peek at what’s happening right now: • A student group is preparing for a student-run evaluation of the curriculum. • A faculty group is developing a common set of competencies for both the CCLCM and University tracks. • A six-person team from CWRU School of Medicine attended a meeting in Washington, DC, in early April to review the specific expectations and procedures to be followed for the accreditation review. Here’s the schedule leading up to the LCME’s final decision in June 2017: July 2015: Begin database collection. The LCME will require a database of all educational activities offered during the academic year July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016. Most of this information will come from the student/faculty portal, so we will need to make sure all that information is correct. August 2015: Upload data from the 2014-15 academic year to the LCME site to test the database system Fall 2015: Begin a systematic self-study process to document and explain our adherence to the 95 elements within the 12 LCME Standards outlined in the March issue of InSight. This process will take 12 to 15 months. December 2016: Submit all materials from our self-study, including an independent student evaluation report January to March 2017: Provide updates and additional information requested by the ad hoc site review team, which will be named in January 2017 March 2017: Site visit April and May 2017: Provide a written response to any areas of concern identified by the site visit team June 2017: Final decision by the LCME The LCME accredits the entire CWRU School of Medicine program, which includes the CWRU and Lerner College programs as well as the MD/PhD program. Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine InSight | 4 NEWS Lessons With Staying Power Trish Scripko draws upon inspiration from CCLCM in her current practice “Since graduating, I have had a renewed appreciation for all that makes the Lerner College of Medicine unique. In particular, the well-rounded education not only in medical knowledge, but also research, innovation and the humanism of medicine has been extraordinarily helpful. “After leaving Cleveland, I completed a residency at Mass General Hospital/Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Neurology. There, I continued some of the bioethics research I began in medical school and also completed a few translational research studies in neuroimaging. “This year, I began a headache program in California, and I draw upon inspiration from CCLCM in the way I practice. For instance, we are hosting an ‘art of headache’ event this June, similar to the poetry readings Dr. Young helped us start, just with a different focus. “I hope students at CCLCM realize how lucky they are to have such wonderful people supporting and directing them. This support amazingly continues even after graduation, and I hope to someday return the favor.” -- Patricia (Trish) Scripko (‘10) WELCOME NEW CAREGIVERS We are pleased to announce that Kathleen Longley has joined the CCLCM family! She is the new education coordinator for the elective program. Kathi came to us from the MetroHealth System where she worked for 18 years. For the past 13 years, she has been involved with medical student and resident education. Kathi was responsible for all medical students seeking elective rotations at MetroHealth. She has high hopes to merge the experience she gained there with the modus operandi of the Lerner College. Kathi enjoys spending time with her extended family, bowling and spending weekends at Clay’s Park Resort, near Canton.

  • A City of Choice
    MAKING CLEVELAND A CITY OF CHOICE A Strategy for Development and Revitalization in Cleveland Frank G. Jackson, Mayor January 2007 Cleveland: A Community of Choice vital > vibrant > connected! Cleveland is becoming a “community of choice” for residents, businesses and visitors by becoming a city that is vital, vibrant, and connected. Vital! Cleveland is becoming a vital community with a prosperous economy fueled by new jobs in healthcare, medical research, information technology, product design, professional services and advanced manufacturing. Vibrant! Cleveland is becoming a 24-hour community with a vibrant downtown and vibrant neighborhood “town centers” where people live, work, shop, dine and visit in places that are mixed-use, mixed-income, walkable, transit-accessible and truly urban. Connected! Cleveland is becoming a place of “connections” where residents are connected to all the amenities of urban living – from education to jobs, from shopping to culture, and from entertainment to unique urban waterfronts – and, most important, where neighbors are connected to one another in neighborhoods that demonstrate the true meaning of “community.” CLEVELAND: A COMMUNITY OF CHOICE Making Cleveland and its neighborhoods “communities of choice” is a principal goal of the administration of Mayor Frank Jackson. A community of choice is a place that residents and businesses and visitors choose because of the exceptional quality of life and amenities that it offers. The roadmap to creating communities of choice in Cleveland is presented in the Connecting Cleveland 2020 Citywide Plan, Cleveland’s new long-term comprehensive plan. The directions to reaching each of the destinations along the way to that goal are presented in the plan itself as well as in the initiatives and programs of each City department that has a role in making Cleveland a community of choice.

  • Implicit Religion and the Highly-Identified Sports Fan: an Ethnography of Cleveland Sports Fandom
    IMPLICIT RELIGION AND THE HIGHLY-IDENTIFIED SPORTS FAN: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF CLEVELAND SPORTS FANDOM Edward T. Uszynski A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2013 Committee: Dr. Michael Butterworth, Advisor Dr. Kara Joyner Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Bruce Edwards Dr. Vikki Krane ii ABSTRACT Michael Butterworth, Advisor Scholarly writing on the conflation of “sport as a religion” regularly concentrates on the historical and institutional parallels with the religious dimensions of sport, focusing on ritual, community, sacred space, and other categories more traditionally associated with “religious” life. Instead, this study redirects focus toward the neo-religious nature of modern spirituality; that is, the fulfillment of Thomas Luckmann’s prediction that a significant aspect of modern spirituality would concern the need to construct a “self”the constantly shifting work of forming personal identity and enhancing self understanding. As such, internal commitments and intense devotion may perform as a de facto “invisible religion” in the lives of people. As popular culture provides useful texts toward satisfying this ongoing work, professional sports can act as a conduit of both personal and collective self understanding for “highly identified fans,” subsequently operating as an invisible religion within their lives. This study investigates the nature of fandom among a sample of Cleveland professional sports

  • Sports and Moral Excellence
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Health and Human Development SPORTS AND MORAL EXCELLENCE: THE INTERSECTIONS OF SPORTS AND AUTHENTICITY A Dissertation in Kinesiology by Jarrod Jonsrud Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philsophy May 2018 The dissertation of Jarrod Jonsrud was reviewed and approved* by the following: R. Scott Kretchmar Professor of Kinesiology Pennsylvania State University Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Mark Dyreson Professor of Kinesiology Pennsylvania State University Javier Friaz-Lopez Associate Professor of Kinesiology Pennsylvania State University Peter Allison Associate Professor - Values and Experiential Learning Pennsylvania State University Steven Piazza Professor of Kinesiology Graduate Program Director *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates sport’s role in the ongoing struggle to live the good life – it is about gaining a better understanding of the relationship between sports, morality, and human culture. The current ethos surrounding sports is one of individualism, instrumentalism, and market efficiency. This perspective led to a morally troublesome hyper-competitive orientation toward sports. Characterized by a win-at-all-costs, individualistically motivated attitude, our instrumental perspective of sports caused their morally educative potential (if indeed any exists at all) to be inadequately realized. This study constitutes a reassessment of sport’s potential to act as a resource for promoting moral education employing perspectives provided by virtue ethics in general and ‘existential’ authenticity and civic virtue specifically. Following an introductory chapter outlining the sequence of my overall argument, the second chapter will provide a snapshot of moral life for modern Americans, effectively substantiating the need for my research.
