A Simulator-based Mastery Learning Curriculum for Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration

A Simulator-based Mastery Learning Curriculum for Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is a severely underutilized treatment for patients with common bile duct stones, due to a lack of training in the procedure during surgery residency. At Northwestern we developed a procedural simulator for LCBDE and a simulator-based mastery learning curriculum to teach the operation to surgical residents and faculty members. Curriculum implementation resulted in an increase in the clinical utilization of the procedure at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and has been expanded to the Northwestern Medicine hospital system, as well as national courses for surgeons in practice.

Measurement Instruments for Educational Research

Measurement Instruments for Educational Research

Medical educators who have designed an educational intervention often struggle to select an instrument to measure its impact. This session will outline best practices to follow when choosing an instrument to measure educational outcomes. Participants will learn the pros and cons of re-using a previously developed instrument versus adapting or creating a new one.

Chalktalks for the Medicine Wards

This workshop is aimed at improving how instructors at all levels teach “chalktalks:” brief, didactic teaching sessions which utilize visual aids to cover a topic with a focus on student participation. We will review core concepts of adult learning theory and how these relate to teaching chalktalks, and then provide tools for developing original chalktalks.

Using Nearpod To Create Interactive Educational Sessions

Using Nearpod To Create Interactive Educational Sessions

Nearpod allows you to engage with students using fun and interactive content, collect and share student responses instantly, and track student comprehension real-time. Dr. Salzman will share examples of how Nearpod has been implemented in the medical school curriculum, and provide guidance on how to create new slides or easily turn your PowerPoint, Google Slides, or PDFs into an interactive Nearpod presentation. The session will also explore how the same technology can be used to create interactive asynchronous learning modules where you as a faculty member can track completion and assess acquisition of knowledge. Dr. Salzman will show you how to get started!
To prepare for the session:

Please download the free Nearpod app to your touchscreen device with internet capability (iPad, iPhone, Android tablet) or bring a computer with internet capabilities.
Bring a laptop computer
Create a free Nearpod account –at nearpod.com

After this workshop, participants will be able to:

Describe how the additional use of this type of interactive technology can create engaging and active learning environments
Apply concepts learned during the workshop to begin creating a nearpod session

Ask & Affirm: A visual representation of transgender patient centered care

Many transgender and gender nonconforming (TGGNC) people have encountered inappropriate care, discrimination and mis-gendering within the medical system. As the final practicum project in the MS Health Communication program at NU, this infographic was designed as a reminder to faculty and medical students about supporting TGGNC patient centered care. It can serve as a discussion primer for ways to engage these patients in a quality healthcare experience.

Let's Talk about Telephone Talk

Let's Talk about Telephone Talk

Every day clinicians speak by telephone with other healthcare professionals to coordinate patient care among distributed teams, to seek and give advice about patient management, and to transition care from one team to another. Thus, these conversations make up a substantive portion of the workplace curriculum. However, telephone talk seldom comprises the focus of teaching or assessment in healthcare training.
During this session, we will explore work-related telephone conversations between health care professional and discuss their potential for learning and teaching. We will use a combination of brief, interactive didactics and small group activities to help participants talk and think about telephone talk.
After this workshop, participants will be able to:

Outline the role of talk in learning
Describe how workplace telephone conversations reflect a learners’ developmental trajectory
dentify learning opportunities during telephone conversations

Student Healthcare Consulting as a Novel Form of Service Learning: Our Three Year Experience

Student Healthcare Consulting as a Novel Form of Service Learning: Our Three Year Experience

Student healthcare consulting is a novel service learning experience that may complement existing medical school offerings. Founded in 2015, Second Opinions is a Feinberg-based student consulting group that assembles teams of medical students to address specific business problems for healthcare organizations that serve disadvantaged communities. In this presentation, we will discuss lessons learned from our three-year experience, ultimately recommending healthcare consulting as an educational model for preparing the next generation of physician leaders.

An Alternative to the Culminating OSCE: Aggregating Data Across Clerkship OSCEs

An Alternative to the Culminating OSCE: Aggregating Data Across Clerkship OSCEs

At Feinberg, each of the seven core third year clerkships have OSCE examinations which make up between 10 and 30 percent of a student’s clerkship grade. Because of this robust clerkship OSCE program, we do not have a culminating clinical skills assessment. Previously, OSCE results were siloed within clerkships, which reported scores in variable ways. In 2016, we began to issue end-of-thirdyear reports on students’ clinical skills aggregated across the seven OSCEs, allowing us to generate an overall score for communication, physical exam, and clinical reasoning skills based on 18 distinct cases over 7 different days. Our portfolio review committee has found these data very helpful to determine students’ independent clinical skills and readiness to undertake advanced clerkships or need for more support. Our students have used the reports to reflect on their skills and seek additional feedback for improvement if needed. We will describe the method we used to rank and aggregate scores, data we provide our students, and changes made for the 2018-2019 academic year to better align the OSCEs in their assessment of communication and clinical reasoning.

Medical Educator Certificate Program Information Session

Medical Educator Certificate Program Information Session

The two-year FAME Medical Educator Certificate Program seeks to prepare clinical educators for excellence in teaching practice through participation in a variety of learning and teaching activities. All Feinberg faculty with an interest in medical or health professions education are welcome to apply to this self-directed program.
In this orientation session, we will discuss the Medical Education Certificate Program for faculty including its potential benefits and requirements. For those enrolled in the program already, we will be announcing changes that are being introduced to the program and the requirements.

Goals: Through participation in the program, faculty will:

Develop a theoretical rationale for educational practice in a variety of settings
Identify areas of strength and areas of growth though directly observed teaching
Integrate what they learn into medical student and resident education within the medical center
Generate new scholarship in medical education
Reflect on their experiences and establish an educational philosophy
