How can medical schools best welcome and prepare newly minted students in ways that are inclusive and appropriate? And how can programs with multiple campuses build community through an orientation experience? How can programs adapt when there is a global pandemic that requires participants to physically distance? Additionally, how can schools set the stage to promote diversity from the beginning of medical school? With experience in undergraduate orientation and graduate orientation for part and full-time students, the presenters have honed the Indiana University School of Medicine's orientation program over the last four years and are now expanding to include first year experience (FYE) programming. The FYE program is designed to welcome students to campus, ease the adjustment into medical school, and help students understand the rigor and expectations of medical school. In this presentation, we will delve into the development of our program and how we used practices to transform from talking heads to what it is today.
Common read experiences are rare in medical schools but are a proven high impact practice in undergraduate education. With the second year of the Common Read Experience (CRE) at IUSM completed, the data demonstrates that the common read experience fosters a sense of belonging for some students, diversifies their worldview, and allows them to understand social issues in society.

Summary:
The poster will provide a roadmap of how to track and use alternative metrics (altmetrics) to provide evidence of attention or engagement of individual research outlets. Altmetrics are non-traditional metrics proposed as an alternative/complement to citation impact metrics. They provide information about the attention and influence of research of an article or publication and are based on interactions and conversations about scholarly content that occur online, mainly on social media platforms. One of the benefits of altmetrics is that they can accrue sooner than traditional metrics (citations) as they do not depend on the long process of conventional scholarly communication. Examples of altmetrics include mentions on Twitter, in news releases, in blogs, citations in policy documents, number of downloads, and more. As altmetrics are becoming more popular than ever in the evaluation of research, you can include them in your CV, grant proposal, personal website, and your promotion and tenure dossier. This poster shows useful sources and tools to track alternative metrics.
Lecture delivered by Nicholas J. Zyromski, MD (Professor of Surgery, Indiana University School of Medicine) on April 19, 2021. This event was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
John M. Howard, MD (1919-2011) was a giant in surgery and his many contributions include directing the U.S. Army’s MASH research unit during the Korean conflict and expanding this work to developing the U.S. Trauma Systems (for the latter, he was awarded the presidential Legion of Merit). Dr. Howard was an international leader and one of the fathers of pancreatology. His work with the pancreas included describing and highlighting the importance of gallstones in pancreatitis pathogenesis, and perhaps most notably his dedication and tenacity with pancreatic head resection. Dr. Nicholas Zyromski was fortunate to call Dr. Howard a mentor and friend; this talk will touch on some of Dr. Howard’s life highlights, including his passion for scholarship and lifetime lessons.
Lecture delivered by Dána-Ain Davis, PhD (Professor of Urban Studies, Queens College; Director of the Center for the Study of Women and Society, SUNY Graduate Center) on March 30, 2021. NICUs (Newborn Intensive Care Units) are places where life saving happens. It is where most premature infants go between leaving the womb and going home. But the space of the NICU is also a site where parents get "made" and race and racism happen. In this talk, Dr. Davis explores some of the dimensions of NICUs based on her research with parents, doctors, and nurses in the US.
The event was sponsored by the Department of Anthropology, Olaniyan Scholars Program, Africana Studies Program, and the Medical Humanities and Health Studies Program at IUPUI.
Lecture delivered by Emily S. Beckman, DMH (Director and Assistant Professor, Medical Humanities and Health Studies, IUPUI) and Jane A. Hartsock, JD, MA (Director of Clinical Ethics, Indiana University Health) on March 19, 2021. This event was sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IU School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group, IUPUI Medical Humanities & Health Studies Program, and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library.
Eduard Pernkopf’s Atlas of Topographical and Applied Human Anatomy is a four-volume anatomical atlas published between 1937 and 1963, and it is generally believed to be the most comprehensive, detailed, and accurate anatomy textbook ever created. However, a 1997 investigation into “Pernkopf’s Atlas” raised troubling questions regarding the author’s connection to the Nazi regime and the still unresolved issue of whether its illustrations relied on Jewish or other political prisoners, including those executed in Nazi concentration camps. Following this investigation, the book was removed from both anatomy classrooms and library bookshelves. Having encountered a first edition copy at the Ruth Lilly Medical Library, these authors were given a unique opportunity to engage with the text through the respective humanities lenses of history, ethics, and narrative. In this talk, Beckman and Hartsock recount the difficult and somewhat opaque provenance of this book, engage the ethical questions surrounding both its creation and its use, and ultimately propose a pedagogical methodology for its continued use in medical education.
Lecture delivered by Mindy A. Schwartz, MD (Professor of Medicine, The University of Chicago Medicine) on February 5, 2012. The event was cosponsored by the Ruth Lilly Medical Library, John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society, IUPUI Medical Humanities and Health Studies program, and the Indiana University School of Medicine History of Medicine Student Interest Group.
For much of history, leeches and bloodletting constituted an essential part of clinical practice. While leeches are no longer standard of care, they still have a role in certain surgical settings and have been approved as medical device per the US FDA. How did leeches go from antiquity to the FDA and what can leeches teach us about medical history and the changing nature of medical knowledge and practice?
Nuclear magnet resonance (NMR) is a powerful technique to detect and characterize the 3D structures, dynamics, and interactions of biomacromolecules. With respect to drug targets, this methodology provides an excellent tool for the identification of small organic molecules that bind weakly to a target macromolecule as fragments of candidate inhibitors. In this presentation, Ratan K. Rai, PhD (Assistant Research Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Indiana University School of Medicine) explains the principles of NMR and its application as a tool for fragment-based drug discovery. Strategies to utilize this approach are described to identify and validate initial hits. The Chemical Genomics Core Facility is equipped with a 600 MHz solution NMR with cryo-probe for the structure elucidation of biomolecules and studies of ligand interactions.
The Chemical Genomics Core Facility (CGCF) is adding phage display capability to assist research projects requiring peptide domain screening. They will employ both the traditional DNA M13 phage as well as the RNA Qβ phage for screening. An advantage of the Qβ phage is the ease with which genetic modifications can be made. Qβ phages will be used to display library of peptides (8 to 50-mer) and to screen over 1 million targets. They will be able to assist scientists with the design, experimentation, preliminary result analyses, sequencing data, amplification, reconstitution, and storage of the obtained hybrid phages of interest. In this seminar, Dr. Alain Bopda Waffo discusses the practical methodology and application of phage display as well as newly developed biopanning techniques.
CRISPR screening is a genetic loss-of-function approach that identifies the genes in a particular pool, such as DNA Damage Response (229 genes), Protein Kinases (746 genes), or Transcription factors (1580 genes), which are responsible for the phenotype of your interests. Chemical Genomics Core Facility (CGCF) researchers will assist you with experimental design, CRISPR library selection, high-throughput equipment training and usage. In this seminar, Jingwei Meng presents the usage of the current DNA Damage Response library in two recent screening projects and explains the existing standard protocols for such arrayed CRISPR screening at CGCF. The CGCF is currently collecting potential CRISPR-related projects and closely working with the IU Genome Editing Center (IUGEC) to bring researchers an integrated service suite of genome technology.
