[4] of cover. 500 $a "Prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense." 520 $a In calling for the transformation of military medical education and training, the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Commission recommended relocating basic and specialty enlisted medical training to a single site to take advantage of economies of scale and the opportunity for joint training. As a result, a joint medical education and training campus (METC) has been established at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Two of METC's primary long-term goals are to become a high-performing learning organization and to seek accreditation as a community college. Such goals require a clear model of organizational improvement with well-defined metrics for measuring its performance and using research and evaluation to assess and improve that performance. Lessons learned from a review of practices at institutions with similar missions -- such as community colleges, corporate universities, the UK's Defence Medical Education and Training Agency, and other federal agencies, such as the Veterans Health Administration -- establish a clear need for an office of institutional research to help METC attain its organizational goals. They also provide useful recommendations regarding the METC office's structure, scope, and governance. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Need for a research and evaluation capability : becoming a high-performing organization -- Need for a research and evaluation capability : accreditation requirements -- Structure and scope of an office of institutional research : findings from interviews -- Lessons learned from organizations with training missions similar to that of METC -- Conclusions and recommendations. 650 0 $a Institutional review boards (Medicine) $z United States. 650 0 $a Medicine, Military $z United States. 650 0 $a Medical education $z United States. 700 1 $a Marsh, Julie A. 700 1 $a Thie, Harry. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. 710 2 $a Center for Military Health Policy Research. 710 1 $a United States. $b Office of the Secretary of Defense. $b Office of the Secretary of Defense. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180106031445.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825094057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E3B45034EE4E11E0BFB3B9EB6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
