  10. Going Green • On average graduate schools provide about 1 pound of paper for every student per course (syllabus, handouts, examinations, etc) • Every year (with 36 required courses and clerkships in our school) with 182 students • we are roughly consuming 6,552 pounds or approximately 3 tons or 51 trees worth of paper • This costs our school about $100,000/year

  11. Emerging Realities • BU Dental School is paperless, since 2005 • BU Medical School, Office of Admissions is 95% paperless as of 2008 • All hospitals have or are moving to on-line medical charts and records • By 2015 all step-1,2,3, and NBME and Licensing Boards will only offer on-line exams • Surveys find the majority of physicians use on-line textbooks or sites for references • Software now allows writing on on-line PowerPoint slides

  12. Going Green • All BUSM students are required to have a lap top • All required courses and clerkships have Bb-8 on-line sites • All syllabui, PowerPoints, and lectures are posted on Bb-8 sites • Year-1 and year-2 will have their exams on-line with ExamSoft • Hopefully starting with this incoming class, we will be paperless

  13. Going Green • The savings will allow for developing and supporting more on-line technology • The savings may allow for more student Enrichment support (end of first year) • The savings will allow for more courses in the first 2 years to have NBME Subject examinations, which will enhance our students’ Step-1 scores • This school’s carbon footprint is enormous, we need to reduce it as much as possible for the generations to come

  14. Kinko’s Print Services BUMC students may send and print documents to the Medical Campus FedEx Office at the BUMC contracted pricing rate of $.03 cents per image ($.06 per double-sided printed page) via https://docstore.fedex.com/bu, available as a desktop link from BUMC Library computers.
