PAS Workshop: Touring the Evolving Landscape of Medical Education Technology
2020-12-03 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York)
Are you finding it difficult to keep up with new technologies that could be helpful for your roles as a scholarly educator? In this round-robin workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn ‘what’s new’ for the application of technology to a variety of areas relevant to your daily work. This workshop is designed for medical educators at all levels to learn about various technologies to enhance teaching and career advancement.
So, grab your passport, set your goals, and join us on a tour highlighting educational technologies. Led by faculty and graduates of APA’s Educational Scholars Program experienced at applying technology to their academic study, this workshop targets three areas of educational technologies: 1) Content creation (key considerations, learning management systems, and using online content on the fly), 2) Scholarship (tech tools for managing the medical literature, conducting surveys, and collaboration), and 3) Engagement (thinking beyond audience response to augmented reality, virtual reality, intelligent tutoring, and serious educational games).
You will begin by taking a Technology Self-Assessment to reflect on your strengths and interests. Traveling in small groups through the three stations, you will have opportunity to learn about these technologies. You will explore ways to use these technologies in your own work and consider how to make these efforts count towards your career advancement. Workshop leaders will then assist you in setting personal technology goals and building a roadmap to continue your learning, application and scholarship. You will leave with a plan and access to annotated resources for all the technologies presented in the workshop.
Objectives

Assess your personalized use of technology in education, areas of strength and growth opportunities.
Discuss how to incorporate new technologies into your own educational work.
Explore new technologies used by medical educators: 1) instruction, 2) scholarship, 3) collaboration; and 4) digital simulation.
Create a plan to implement your new technology goals in a scholarly fashion.

Self-Assessment Tool

PAS Workshop: Implicit Bias – Providers Need Screening Too: Addressing the Impact of Implicit Bias, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES), and Social Determinants of Health on Pediatric Providers
2020-11-19 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
Description:
The role of implicit bias in health disparities has been well-documented. Programming, workshops and numerous curricula have been created to attempt to reduce bias as it relates to health care and clinical decision making. Recently, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) incorporated the expectation that programs “…must incorporate social determinants of health of populations into the design and implementation of the program curriculum, with the ultimate goal of addressing health disparities.” In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention delineated definitions and highlighted the importance of social determinants of health (SDoH) and adverse childhood experiences (ACES) on the health and well-being of children. Educating about these concepts is an important strategy but bypasses the critical need to address the impact of implicit bias, ACES and SDoH of the providers who are actually providing the care to this pediatric patient population.
This action-oriented workshop will first describe key elements of delivering trauma-informed care with an understanding of the research behind social determinants of health and adverse childhood experiences. The participants will then have the opportunity to assess their own personal adverse childhood experiences and discuss that impact in their professional lives.
Now armed with their own ACES and an understanding of the importance of patients’ ACES , the participants will learn how to address implicit bias using the Crawford Bias Reduction theory which was created by one of the workshop leaders and used in numerous national trainings. A multi-model series of prompts will be used to engage the audience in the discussion of the model. The workshop will close with case scenarios that reflect clinical, education and administrative challenges where the incorporation of the learned strategies can be incorporated and tested.
Objectives:

Review the role of origins and identity formation in the subsequent development of implicit bias
Describe the role of incorporating trauma informed care, implicit bias and awareness of adverse childhood experiences, social determinants of health in education for academic clinicians
Learn strategies to reduce bias using the Crawford Bias Reduction theory
Discuss action-oriented responses and approaches using clinical, administrative and educational examples

PAS Workshop: Navigating Success in Academic Medicine: A Workshop for Under-Represented in Medicine
2020-11-13 12:00 - 13:30 (America/New_York)
Description:
Soon after successfully becoming an academic faculty member, additional responsibilities or requests often arise for underrepresented in medicine (URiM) faculty. These additional requests or responsibilities include serving as a diversity representative or leader in their academic setting and the communities in which they live and work. This can lead to dilemmas and conflicts that extend throughout one’s academic career. Those who navigate these dilemmas successfully can realize the goals and aspirations that brought them to academic medicine. Those who do not successfully navigate these dilemmas can have difficulty with career satisfaction, time management, promotion, and guilt. This interactive workshop is focused on development of skills to navigate this complexity successfully. Four senior faculty leaders who have mentored collectively hundreds of junior and mid career URiM faculty with these dilemmas will lead the participants through small group interactions and scenarios to share skills and present possible solutions to best navigate how to: 1) address requests to fill institutional and community diversity roles, 2) navigate being a rare community resource, and 3) when and how to say yes or no to an opportunity.
Objectives:

Build skills on how to negotiate for resources in any position
Discuss how to effectively navigate requests to fill institutional diversity roles
Build skills on successfully navigating community responsibilities
Practice skills and critical thinking on when to say yes or no when offered an “opportunity”

PAS Workshop: Get Involved! Advocacy Skill-Building and Visibility in an Academic Institution
2020-10-30 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York)
This workshop is geared towards novice physician advocates who are interested in translating their professional expertise to achieve a broader impact for child health. Using highly interactive, real-time learning technology, participants will define physician advocacy, discuss the advantages of pediatrician advocacy, and identify myriad ways that physicians are advocates. Next, individuals will rotate through four simultaneous 20-minute hands-on small-groups led by advocacy experts. Each participant will gain the necessary skills to perform future self-directed advocacy work within their home institution and community. Physicians will then participate in an interactive discussion surrounding strategies for institutional and community buy-in and visibility. Facilitators with expertise in advocacy will assist with idea-sharing and brainstorming to identify key stakeholders within the academic institution who can promote and advertise academic work. The audience will further define academic products and outcomes to increase advocacy work visibility. At the conclusion, participants will have action plan items and next steps for advocacy work to further develop at their academic institution or home community.
Objectives
1) Identify myriad ways in which physicians have incorporated advocacy into their professional work
2) Learn advocacy skills required to communicate to legislators and media, write an op-ed or editorial letter, create a social media strategy, and how individual research can inform child health policy
3) Design an approach to increase the visibility of academic advocacy work

PAS Workshop: Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself! Mitigating Unconscious Bias During Residency and Fellowship Interviews
2020-10-15 15:00 - 16:30 (America/New_York)
Implicit bias is now recognized as a major contributor to health disparities. In light of this knowledge, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) has now mandated that residency programs to include implicit bias training for resident physicians . As residency programs develop unique and innovative implicit bias training programs, little to no emphasis has been placed on faculty development about bias, despite knowledge that most physicians hold implicit biases toward the patients they treat. This lack of emphasis is concerning, as we now know from the 2014 CHANGES study studies that learners who are exposed to biased comments from attendings and faculty have increases in their implicit bias over time, as measured by the IAT. The CHANGES study also highlights the importance of diversity in the clinical scenario: medical students exposed to black physician role models were more likely to have decreases in their implicit bias overtime.
This study highlights the need for a diverse physician workforce. Research in hiring and human resources has shown that biases occur during the evaluation and interview process; this may interfere with steps to develop a diverse physician workforce.
Objectives:

Identify areas of unconscious bias that exist when interviewing residency or fellowship applicants
Recognize own biases as they relate to interviewing applicants
Appreciate impact bias has on interviewing
Describe two strategies to mitigate personal biases in order to eliminate bias in interview evaluations
