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
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 online textbooks or sites for references
Software now allows writing on on-line
PowerPoint slides
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
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

New limited licensing requirements for Massachusetts. These changes are currently in
effect and will have impact for our graduating seniors that Match in the state. The new
regulations require that students achieve a two digit score of 75 (this equates to the
passing score on each of the exams) on both Step 1 & Step 2 in order to obtain a limited
license. The full new licensing regulations can be found at www.mass.gov/massmedboard
under the left navigation bar “Laws, Regulations and Guidelines”
