Transforming remediation for competency-based medical education
We care about the future experiences of all health professions trainees as competency-based medical education evolves. It is an exciting new era with many possibilities for progress in learning and competency development. Yet we are concerned that remediation remains a troubled and stigmatized detour from routine learning that can persist as a feared off-ramp from competency development rather than a central avenue for improvement and competency …
Measuring the development of a medical professional identity through medical school
Purpose: The Professional Identity Essay (PIE) is a theory and evidence-based Medical Professional Identity Formation (MPIF) measure. We describe trajectories of PIE-measured MPIF over a 4-year US medical school curriculum.Methods: Students write PIEs at medical school orientation, clinical clerkships orientation, and post-advanced (near graduation) clerkship. A trained evaluator assigns an overall stage score to narrative responses to nine PIE p…
Observing and Assessing Competence in Evidence-Based Medicine in Graduating Medical Students
Purpose: The ability to form clinical questions and retrieve evidence to advance patient care is a foundational Entrustable Professional Activity (EPA) integral to the practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM). In addition to improving patient care, the ability to formulate questions and locate evidence is an essential skill for meeting lifelong learning goals.1 The assessment of EPA 7 may be suboptimal for several reasons including suboptimal ro…
Understanding medical student paths to communication skills expertise using latent profile analysis
PURPOSE: To describe patterns of clinical communication skills that inform curriculum enhancement and guide coaching of medical students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Performance data from 1182 consenting third year medical students in 9 cohorts (2011-2019), on a 17-item Clinical Communication Skills Assessment Tool (CCSAT) completed by trained Standardized Patients as part of an eight case high stakes Comprehensive Clinical Skills Exam (CCSE) were ana…
Medical School Civic Engagement During Covid-19
The Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) serves the Milwaukee metro area, one of the most diverse and segregated urban areas in the United States. In the acute crisis phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, MCW’s Civic and Community Engagement (C/CE) efforts were leveraged to address community concerns around four key initiatives: (a) availability of personal protective equipment in community; (b) food and housing issues for homeless individuals; (c) the n…
Reach
PROBLEM: The extent of medical student unwellness is well documented. Learner distress may impact patient care, workforce adequacy, and learners' performance and personal health. The authors describe the philosophy, structure, and content of the novel REACH (Recognize, Empathize, Allow, Care, Hold each other up) curriculum and provide a preliminary evaluation. APPROACH: The REACH curriculum is a mandatory, longitudinal well-being curriculum for f…
Mentoring Underrepresented Minority Physician-Scientists to Success
As the nation seeks to recruit and retain physician-scientists, gaps remain in understanding and addressing mitigatable challenges to the success of faculty from underrepresented minority (URM) backgrounds. The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists program, implemented in 2015 at 10 academic medical centers in the United States, seeks to retain physician-scientists at risk of leaving science because of periods of ext…
Using Latent Profile Analysis to Describe and Understand Medical Student Paths to Communication Skills Expertise
Despite the importance of communication skills, the skills of graduating medical students vary widely. Identification of patterns of communication skills development among medical students could guide coaching of all students toward mastery. For the past 13 years at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, students have been required to pass a Comprehensive Clinical Skills Exam (CCSE) administered at the end of required clinical rotations. Consistent…
Heartache or Bellyache? Epigastric Pain, Communication Skills, and Implicit Bias
Purpose: Implicit bias contributes to health disparities through physician communication behaviors. 1 Research in clinical encounters suggests certain nonverbal and verbal communication is associated with racial implicit bias. 2 To date, there are no published simulations that can be used for teaching or assessment purposes in implicit bias recognition and management (IBRM). We developed a high-fidelity simulation 3 and adapted existing checklist…
Telehealth and Medical Student Education in the Time of Covid-19—and Beyond
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to limit medical students’ full reintegration into clinical learning environments, thus exacerbating an ongoing challenge in identifying a robust number of clinical educational activities at excellent clinical sites for all students. Because medical students across the United States were removed from direct patient care activities in mid-March 2020 due to COVID-19, medical centers have prioritized and implemented c…
PRIDE Peer Mentor Development Program
The PMDP may be a model for higher education and academic medicine programs committed to mentoring and retaining racially/ethnically diverse faculty and ultimately contributing to reducing entrenched health disparities between majority and minority populations
Applying the institutional review board data repository approach to manage ethical considerations in evaluating and studying medical education
Fostering multi-institutional studies while following sound ethical principles in the study of medical education is needed, and the IRB data repository approach has many benefits, especially for longitudinal assessment of complex multi-site data
Self-assessment and goal-setting is associated with an improvement in interviewing skills
In general, the quality of students' SAGS improved over time. Poor baseline SAGS skills and failure to improve were associated with a decrease in interviewing skills at 17 weeks. For students with better SAGS, interviewing skills increased at week 17. Improvement in SAGS skills was not associated with improved interviewing skills. Understanding structured self-assessment skills helps identify student characteristics that influence progressive mas…
Medical students as human subjects in educational research
Our findings demonstrate that risk assessment and the extent of review utilized for medical education research vary among IRBs. Despite variability in the perception of risk implied by differing IRB requirements, students themselves felt education research was low risk and did not consider themselves to be vulnerable. The vast majority of eligible medical students were willing to participate as research subjects. Participants acknowledged the tim…
The State of Medical Education Research
Ever wonder what the evidence is to support how you spend your time in medical school? And what is a "good" doctor anyway? The developing field of medical education has raised these and a host of other questions about the goals and efficacy of the medical school curriculum
Using Bedside Rounds to Teach Communication Skills in the Internal Medicine Clerkship
The curriculum appears to be a successful way to reinforce core communication skills and practice common challenging situations students encounter during the Internal Medicine Clerkship
Learning Skills of Professionalism
Students have been a driving force behind this curriculum, which is a model for professionalism education. It was accepted by students and, although somewhat controversial, created a level of awareness and discussion regarding professional behavior in medical school that had previously been absent
Clever Nihilism
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) educators are often confronted with learners who use their new critical appraisal skills to dismiss much of the medical literature. Does this cynical attitude of "clever nihilism" affect educational outcomes, such that educators need to tailor their curricula to these learners? The authors proposed that this critical skepticism may be an intermediate developmental stage for EBM learners as they progress from "naïve e…
Teaching Communication Skills on the Surgery Clerkship
Communication skills teaching can be implemented in the surgery clerkship, and surgeons are particularly well suited to teach about patient education, discussing informed consent and shared decision making, and delivering bad news. Structured case-based sessions are acceptable to, and improve the self-assessed skills of, surgery clerkship students. Faculty development geared toward such sessions has added benefits to educational activities in a c…
