Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    Periodically, the Public Health (PHS) publishes a list of 
information collection requests under review, in compliance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of 
these requests, call the PHS Reports Clearance Office on (202)-690-
7100.
    1. Interdisciplinary Generalist Curriculum (IGC) Project: External 
Evaluation--New--The main focus of the IGC project deals with the 
medical faculty and curriculum by requiring demonstration schools to 
develop collaborative, clinically-oriented teaching during the first 
two years of medical school among the generalist faculty, require 
primary care, community-based preceptorships for first and second year 
medical students, and expose students to 150 hours of curriculum time 
in the preclinical years (half of which must be devoted to direct 
supervised patient care experiences; schools funded for the IGC will 
implement their own curricula which adhere to these guidelines. Two 
mail surveys will be conducted for the evaluation of the 
Interdisciplinary Generalist Curriculum Project; a longitudinal survey 
of faculty at the IGC demonstration schools on attitudes, beliefs and 
observations about the IGC innovations, and a survey of deans at 
medical schools and colleges of osteopathic medicine on the 
implementation of similar curriculum innovations.
