Re-caffeinating morning report: how improvement science can enhance the quality of residency education

Case-based teaching . . . socializing . . . teaching pearls . . . all over a cup (or three) of coffee at 8am on a Monday . . .

Join us as we review a fascinating intervention designed to improve the quality of morning report using quality improvement methodology.

“We are thrilled to share that this year’s PAS conference will have a Wellness and Well-being Track. This track was listed as an option for Scholarly Session, Workshop and SIG submitters, and when the program guide launches in March, attendees will be able to look at the Wellness and Well-being Track and see an overall listing of any session whose submitter indicated their session fit into Wellness. We are so appreciative that PAS is making Wellness and Well-being such a priority!
Along those lines, the conference planners reached out to this SIG for input on how best to infuse wellness into the PAS conference this year. We would love to hear input from the SIG membership!
Please join the Well-Being Special Interest Group on 11/17 for an opportunity to reconnect with each other and brainstorm ways to help us all “stay well” during this year’s conference… and beyond! “
(You are encouraged to attend even if you’ve never participated in this SIG before, and even if you can’t be at the conference).

Qualitative Research Journal Club

What Does Critical Race Theory Have to Do with Qualitative Research? Part 1
Please join us for an exciting virtual Journal Club. We are fortunate to have renowned medical education researcher Dr. Janice Hanson lead this webinar in which she discusses her in-press qualitative study, “Racial/ethnic disparities in clerkship grading: Perspectives of students and teachers,” Academic Medicine, November 2022 RIME Supplement (See attachment). This will be the 1st of a 2-part series led by Dr. Hanson. Part 2 will be in January 2023
Dr. Hanson is a Professor of Medicine, the Director of Education Scholarship Development and the Co-Director of the Medical Education Research Unit at Washington University School of Medicine.

This interactive journal club discussion will start with a short presentation of the methods section of a recently published RIME Research Paper, Racial/ethnic disparities in clerkship grading: Perspectives of students and teachers. This study incorporates critical race theory as a conceptual framework to guide data collection and analysis. After the presentation of the methods in this study, we’ll discuss conceptual frameworks in qualitative research, beginning with these questions:
What is the difference between a conceptual framework and a philosophical framework?
How does the researcher’s view of knowledge (epistemology) affect qualitative research?
How can a researcher find a conceptual framework that can guide a qualitative research study?
How does a conceptual framework influence what the researchers learn in a qualitative study?
What do conceptual and philosophical frameworks have to do with reflexivity?
What questions do you have about conceptual frameworks in qualitative research?

Join us in exploring the potential of latest technologies of extended reality using mixed and virtual reality for anatomy education. Hear directly from the experts themselves from Case Western Reserve University. Come and attend to be inspired, to find ways to collaborate and learn about meaningful integration of technology. We guarantee, your anatomy instruction will never be the same!
Title: A 21st Century Approach to Human Anatomy Education
When Case Western Reserve School of Medicine planned its new medical education building, the administration decided that the building would not include cadaveric dissection labs. This allowed the faculty to develop a new approach to anatomy education. Thanks to a partnership with Microsoft, HoloAnatomy® Software and subsequently HoloNeuroAnatomy® Software were born. This talk describes our journey into twenty-first-century anatomy education and our current curriculum at our new Health Education Campus. One of our goals was to bring in the new without abandoning our past.

Medical Escape Rooms: How to Measure Success?
Medical escape rooms can be fun but are they effective? How do we evaluate them?
Presented by APA’s Medical Education Journal Club
Thursday July 7th at 12:30 pm ET

Trainee well-being is a growing focus in graduate medical education, and medical escape rooms have emerged as a fun, engaging way to teach and build camaraderie. We will discuss an article that evaluates a medical escape room activity through the lens of building workplace social capital. Are there other ways to evaluate medical escape rooms? Are they a more effective way of teaching or just another trend?

Article: The shift from disbelieving underperformance to recognising failure: A tipping point model
How do medical educators recognize when a resident is unlikely to succeed? What are the risk factors that usher us to the tipping point at which we must use that ugly four-letter “F” word–“Fail”? In this qualitative study, we explore the various aspects of a resident’s performance that supervisors use to cross the tipping point from disbelieving underperformance to recognizing failure.
