Block Directors are responsible for delivering a block of curriculum to UWSOM Foundations students. This guide is a resource for Block Directors to see the workflow of a block. It is designed chronologically following a block through all of it’s phases from course preparation, to course instruction, and ending with course evaluation and contains information on how to complete block administrative tasks associated with each phase. Although this guide is a valuable resource, it doesn’t replace the importance of collaborating with the foundations team to fully utilize its resources.
