Using Calibrated Peer Review⢠to Assess and Improve the Quality of Student Documentation of Clinical Encounters at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine (UNMSOM).

The UNMSOM adapted Calibrated Peer Review™, an internet based writing tool, to assist medical students in assessing the structure and content of their clinical notes. Students watch videotaped clinical encounters and write notes based on these patient visits. Students then apply faculty-established standards to assess three calibration notes, the notes of three peers, and their own note. CRR will be demonstrated and student satisfaction described

Rather than describing the financial sector in terms of an exogenously determined interest rate set by the central bank, the model unpacks financial markets by fully specifying a banking sector. The key analytic feature of the Post Keynesian approach is to replace the money market with the loan market. That makes transparent the macroeconomic significance of the loan market and bank behavior, and generates an endogenous money supply driven by bank lending. If banks become more optimistic over the cycle and lower their interest rate mark-up, that increases the likelihood of instability

Economic Policy in India: For Economic Stimulus, or for Austerity and Volatility?

The implementation of economic reforms under new economic policies in India was associated with a paradigmatic shift in monetary and fiscal policy. While monetary policies were solely aimed at "price stability" in the neoliberal regime, fiscal policies were characterized by the objective of maintaining "sound finance" and "austerity". Such monetarist principles and measures have also loomed over the global recession. This paper highlights the theoretical fallacies of monetarism and analyzes the consequences of such policy measures in India, particularly during the period of the global recession. Not only did such policies pose constraints on the recovery of output and employment, with adverse impacts on income distribution; but they also failed to achieve their stated goal in terms of price stability. By citing examples from southern Europe and India, this paper concludes that such monetarist policy measures have been responsible for stagnation, with a rise in price volatility and macroeconomic instability in the midst of the global recession
