Curriculum Revisions
Based on the SE community feedback in our survey last year, combined with the results of discussions at the FHE faculty meeting in January, the curriculum committee prepared a preliminary proposal for reorganizing and revising the full SE curriculum from the Beginning through Advanced years. This proposal was sent to FHE faculty for review and feedback in late May. Faculty responses are now being compiled and a new draft of the curriculum will be sent to faculty in early August. We are on track to have our revised curriculum plan completed by the end of 2006.

Manual Revision
Concurrently with the curriculum revision, the SE manual will also be completely revised for Beginning through Advanced years. FHE faculty have now contributed many hundreds of pages of written material to be used for reference in the production of the new manual. In addition, the manual committee has initiated a literature search for additional reference and support material, in particular for the categories of trauma as taught in the Intermediate year. The manual committee is currently reviewing the material provided by faculty so it can be compiled into a preliminary draft of the manual, which in turn will be submitted to faculty for feedback and revision. We have been blessed with an abundance of resources from our faculty and this will take time to review. However, we still expect to be on track for having a new SE manual by early 2007.

Student Resources on the FHE Website
In conjunction with the FHE webmaster, we have also formulated a plan for having much of our reference material posted to the FHE website in a special student and professional resources section. This will allow us to have full color illustrations, Powerpoint presentations, professional articles, and links to other sites with additional resources available directly to students and other professionals. This will also allow us to keep our student resources as up to date as possible. Of course the manual will contain the core SE material and essential student resources, but use of the website will expand the options for students who are interested in exploring specific SE topics in more depth.
