The recent removal of numerical scoring on USMLE Step 1/COMLEX Level 1 has disrupted the transition to residency in every aspect. Participants in this session will discuss challenges arising from this change. They will also review recent consensus recommendations from the NEXT STEP1 Project and develop solutions for common issues.
Addressing the challenge of teaching clinical uncertainty, this session analyzes case-based learning's (CBL) effectiveness and explores alternative pedagogies. Through collaborative problem-solving, participants will refine strategies using real vignettes, aiming to better prepare medical students for uncertainty in clinical practice.
This session explores the intersection of emotional intelligence (EI) and coping strategies. Participants will delve into the EQ-I model developed by Multi-Health Systems (MHS) to recognize the power of emotional intelligence and work in groups to investigate coping skills to navigate the challenges of academic medicine effectively.
Medical schools are shifting towards a Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum. This is an outcomes-focused approach. Technology is a key partner for CBME implementation. Participants will learn about CBME basics, participate in a practical demonstration of CBME and will learn about successful implementation strategies at three different medical schools.
Though many institutions have Medical Student or Resident-as-Teacher programs or faculty development opportunities, explicit strategies for supporting professional identity formation (PIF) of a medical educator are lacking. This session will explore instructional methods and institutional strategies to support the PIF of medical educators across the continuum from student to faculty.
The session will explore evidence-based strategies for educating high school, medical, and law students about social justice and health equity. We will appraise current literature related to the evolution of interprofessional pathway programs and medical-legal partnerships. Existing programs and partnerships in the USA that emphasize health equity education through interprofessional collaboration will be summarized.
Medical education journals publish variety of article types. Inexperienced authors can struggle to identify journals that are a good fit for their scholarship. This interactive session, led by medical education journal editors, will explore resources and strategies for selecting the best home for their scholarly submissions.
