MANUSCRIPT: ABC of learning and teaching in medicine: Applying educational theory in practice

How many times have we as teachers been confronted with situations in which we really were not sure what to do? We “flew by the seat of our pants,” usually doing with our learners what had been done with us. It would be useful to be able to turn to

ABSTRACT: Validation study of a computer-based open surgical trainer: SimPraxis(®) simulation platform

BACKGROUND: Technological advances have dramatically changed medical education, particularly in the era of work-hour restrictions, which increasingly highlights a need for novel methods to teach surgical skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of a novel, computer-based, interactive, cognitive simulator for training surgeons to perform pelvic lymph

ABSTRACT: Integrating improvement learning into a family medicine residency curriculum.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Knowledge of improvement practices is a critical skill for family medicine residents who will lead patient-centered medical homes. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education includes systems-based practice and improvement knowledge as a core competency for residency education. The objective of this report is to describe the 6-year

ABSTRACT: Simulation training for acute medical specialist trainees: a pilot.

Simulation training is a method of interactive teaching and training for healthcare professionals. Medical education research demonstrates that high fidelity simulation leads to effective learning. Acute Medical Specialist Year Three-plus Trainee (ST3+) doctors are often required to manage high-pressure situations, requiring a combination of clinical and non-clinical abilities. We therefore

ABSTRACT: Educational Experiences Residents Perceive As Most Helpful for the Acquisition of the ACGME Competencies

BACKGROUND: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires physicians in training to be educated in 6 competencies considered important for independent medical practice. There is little information about the experiences that residents feel contribute most to the acquisition of the competencies. OBJECTIVE: To understand how residents perceive their learning of the

MANUSCRIPT: Use of a structured template to facilitate practice-based learning and improvement projects

BACKGROUND: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires residency programs to meet and demonstrate outcomes across 6 competencies. Measuring residents' competency in practice-based learning and improvement (PBLI) is particularly challenging. PURPOSE: We developed an educational tool to meet ACGME requirements for PBLI. The PBLI template helped programs document quality improvement (QI)

ABSTRACT: Social networking profiles and professionalism issues in residency applicants: an original study-cohort study.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of social networking, the degree of information publicly disclosed, and whether unprofessional content was identified in applicants from the 2010 Residency Match. BACKGROUND: Medical professionalism is an essential competency for physicians to learn, and information found on social networking sites may be hazardous to the doctor-patient relationship and

MAUNSCRIPT: The next accreditation system: stakeholder expectations and dialogue with the community

In February 2012, in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine,1 the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education ACGME provided an initial description and the rationale for the Next Accreditation System NAS. We follow up with this piece, which reflects on questions about the NAS, as a starting

ABSTRACT: Imaging informatics for consumer health: towards a radiology patient portal

Objective With the increased routine use of advanced imaging in clinical diagnosis and treatment, it has become imperative to provide patients with a means to view and understand their imaging studies. We illustrate the feasibility of a patient portal that automatically structures and integrates radiology reports with corresponding imaging studies

ABSTRACT: Goal Instructions, Response Format, and Idea Generation in Groups

This study examined the separate and joint impact of two standard, but seemingly conflicting brainstorming rules on idea generation in interacting and nominal groups: the free-wheeeling rule, which calls for the production of dissimilar ideas, and the build-on rule, which encourages idea combination and improvement. We also tested whether the
