Race-based medicine occurs when health care providers use a person's race as an element to define their health. Current examples include the use of the race-based vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) calculator. Racism in obstetrics and gynecology is deeply rooted in present-day practice. The race-conscious approach seeks to reform race-based medicine across clinical practice, education, leadership, & research.
The mask expression project was designed to be a creative and artistic means to encourage professional identity formation in first-year medical students. Students worked in groups to reflect on their implicit biases and adopt growth mindsets to overcome those biases, resulting in a deeper understanding of professional identity.
Have you encountered professionalism challenges with your learners? The discussion aims to explore the definition and responsibilities of both educators and learners, along with organizational strategies for managing expectations. We will share approaches for enhancing professionalism while addressing learners not meeting expectations.
This roundtable will delve into assessment practices within Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs), focusing on the integration of continuous assessment to enhance deeper learning and competency acquisition. Discussions will explore strategies, challenges, and the impact of assessment practices on student development.
Within medical programs, departmental reviews commonly document an academic department’s activities, establish goals and priorities, provide an accounting of achievements, and offer a framework for strategic planning. This roundtable discussion shares approaches to conducting a focused, internal departmental self-study and offers guidance to medical educators called to lead such efforts.
Logic models have long been used to graphically display the design, planning, monitoring, and evaluation of educational programs in a format clearly understood by all stakeholders. In this session participants will learn how to use logic models to plan, monitor, and evaluate UME curriculum including accreditation compliance.
This session explores the use of a quality improvement framework for curriculum mapping. Participants will learn to apply the five DMAIC phases (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) to identify and address gaps, redundancies, and misalignments across the curriculum and build a sustainment plan to ensure quality continues over time.
To address health inequalities in Detroit, community health nights are coordinated between community members, local community organizations and medical students. These programs focus on building trust and fostering communication between community members and the medical community, while increasing their health knowledge.
This interactive and insightful facilitated discussion will address how technology enriched and data-informed adaptive pedagogical strategies can revolutionize the learning experience for physicians in training. These stratgies are grounded in well-known learning theories. The participants will discuss how personalized learning pathways are tailored to individual student needs, enhance self directed learning skills in learners, and can reshape how medical knowledge is imparted and assessed
Returning citizens, individuals who have been previously incarcerated, face significant health disparities. Academic institutions can improve health equity for this community by collaborating with local organizations, while simultaneously enhancing medical student education. The Returning Citizens Clinic, a community-academic partnership founded by medical students, addresses physicians’ accountability for this marginalized population.
As medical board and residency selection standards have evolved, a new and intense emphasis on research and publication throughout the four years of medical school has emerged. In this session, participants are engaged to build a research curriculum that fosters student ideas to drive innovation within research, in particular, in fields such as health equity, health outcomes, and population health.
Technology in medical education is a continuously evolving topic with social media as a more recent tool, providing both positive outcomes and challenges for medical institutions. Participants in this round table session will share their experiences and collaborate to create meaningful and innovative pathways for future state.
This round table introduces a conceptual framework derived from findings of a critical narrative review of pre-matriculation initiatives in medical education. Participants will discuss experiences and challenges related to pre-matriculation initiatives in their respective institutions, their alignment with the proposed conceptual framework, and areas for improvement.
The discussion will delve into post-exam grade adjustment guidelines in medical education, fostering interactive exchanges to address challenges and develop fair grading practices. Participants will share experiences and perspectives to enhance policy effectiveness and collaboration.
Low-fidelity collaborative board games, like PANDEMIC®, can be used to build essential nontechnical teaming competencies that are critical for promoting coordinated, interprofessional learning and working environments. Session participants will experience an abbreviated training developed around a modified version of PANDEMIC® for use within dynamic interprofessional healthcare units.
Medical schools employ a variety of approaches to deliver leadership development curricula. We suggest a “choose your own adventure” longitudinal program, with more general courses initially and students’ ability to select a track of interest later, either leading in the healthcare system, leading in education, or leading in research.
Medical students curious about quality improvement are invited to join the CQI Greenhouse. Students receive guidance as they learn to ask and answer quality-related questions about their curriculum. Students in the Greenhouse initiate and complete projects that build QI skills, strengthen our curriculum, and position themselves for future QI success.
