Our curriculum is informedby Lave and Wenger’s concept <strong>of</strong> communities <strong>of</strong>practice which is a network <strong>of</strong> individuals who developan overlapping knowledge base and set <strong>of</strong> valuesfocused on common goals. A web-based curriculumallows the community <strong>of</strong> practice to engage in discussiononline and subsequently during team-based exercises.Blended learning theory argues for integration <strong>of</strong> face-t<strong>of</strong>aceand online learning.Methods: An interpr<strong>of</strong>essional cadre <strong>of</strong> educatorsreviewed best practices for team communication,drawing on evidence to create 6 short, web-basedmodules highlighting communication principles. Thepilot learners are nurse, physician and pharmacisttrainees participating in mock pediatric resuscitations.The curriculum focuses on vetted communicationprinciples such as closed-loop communication and roledelineation. Modules contain text, narration, video, andactivities to reinforce learning. The curriculum will behoused on the <strong>UCSF</strong> CLE, which enables sharing <strong>of</strong> thecurriculum. The authors will write a succinct ‘teacher’smanual’ to <strong>of</strong>fer guidance on how interested educatorsmight incorporate the interpr<strong>of</strong>essional team trainingmodules into their own curricula.Evaluation Plan: To evaluate learners: pre/post-modulequizzes to evaluate knowledge, skills, attitudes. Toevaluate curriculum's impact: use a validated teamperformance tool to compare data on teamwork andcommunication before and after curriculumimplementation.Dissemination: Poster presented at CINHC's Magic inTeaching Conference. Plan to submit abstract to WGEAconference. We aim to submit the curriculum forpublication in AAMC’s peer-reviewed MedEdPortal. /Reflective Critique: We will seek peer review throughESCAPE (educational scholarship conference) andKanbar Simulation and Scholarship Group. Learnerfeedback in the pilot will help shape the final product.Teaching Basic Surgical Skills in TheSkills Lab vs. Computer-Based VideoTraining (CBVT): A RandomizedControlled TrialEmily Huang, MD, <strong>UCSF</strong>,emily.huang2@ucsfmedctr.org; Hueylan Chern, MD,<strong>UCSF</strong>, hueylan.chern@ucsfmedctr.org; PatriciaO'Sullivan, EdD, <strong>UCSF</strong>, osullivanp@medsch.ucsf.edu;Edward Kim, MD, <strong>UCSF</strong>, edward.kim@ucsfmedctr.orgDomain(s) addressed: Clinical Instruction andPerformance, Computers and Technology, CurricularInnovation, SimulationPurpose: We implemented a computer-based videotraining (CBVT) curriculum for surgical interns at ourinstitution and examined its effects on performance.Background: Technological advances make teachingbasic surgical skills via CBVT an attractive option. Whilenovice medical students have been shown to improveperformance on basic surgical skills with CBVT, itseffectiveness for residents, who must achieve greaterpr<strong>of</strong>iciency, is less clear.Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trialincluded 22 PGY-1 surgical residents at <strong>UCSF</strong>. Theinterns were randomized to a CBVT curriculum (n=11) or<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco • <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> 7


<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>instructional sessions at the Surgical Skills Center(n=11). Pre- and post-intervention videotapes <strong>of</strong> eachintern performing basic surgical skills (knot tying andsubcutaneous suturing) were deidentified and scored bythree expert raters using a global rating scale.Additionally, post-intervention, all interns werevideotaped performing an integrated task which wasscored using a modified objective structured assessment<strong>of</strong> technical skills (OSATS), generating tissue handling(4 items) and technical skill (4 items) scores. Weconducted an analysis <strong>of</strong> covariance for the fiveoutcomes, and calculated effect size (es) <strong>of</strong> theintervention (necessary due to small sample size).Results: Our measures showed acceptable inter-raterreliability: one- (.77) and two-handed (.63) knot tying,subcutaneous suturing (.73), tissue handling (.73), andtechnical skill (.85) scores. Adjusting for pre-interventionscore, we found no difference in performance betweenthe two groups for basic surgical skills: one-handed knottying (p=.21, es= .076), two-handed knot tying (p=.48,es=.028), suturing (p=.11, es=.14) or for integrated skills:tissue handling (p=.77; es=.005), and technical skill(p=.60, es=.014).Discussion: CBVT is an effective option for teachingbasic surgical skills to surgical residents, and does notsubsequently limit performance on complex skills. Thiseasily implemented strategy frees skills lab facilities foradvanced topics, while enabling programs without askills lab to provide effective teaching.Reflective Critique: We solicited anonymous feedbackfrom residents on the curriculum implementation.Developing a Rubric to EvaluateFeedback: The Feedback onFeedback Approach to TeachingCritical ReflectionMarieke Kruidering-Hall, PhD, Department <strong>of</strong> Cellularand Molecular Pharmacology, <strong>UCSF</strong>,Marieke.Kruidering@ucsf.edu; Patricia O'Sullivan, EdD,Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, patricia.osullivan@ucsf.edu;Louise Aronson, MD, MFA, Department <strong>of</strong> Geriatrics,louise.aronson@ucsf.eduPurpose: To develop and validate a feedback rubric toassess feedback to learners’ on written criticalreflections.Background: Critical reflection promotes self-directedlife-long learning and is widely incorporated into medicaltraining. To develop learners’ reflective abilities, facultymust be able to provide feedback that builds thelearners’ reflective skill. No tools exist to evaluatereflection feedback or help faculty provide reflectionfeedback.Methods: We developed a 6-item rubric with 2 items onreflection content feedback, 2 items on reflective skillfeedback, and one item each on communication clarityand tone, the scale ranging from problematic (0) to good(3). Doctoring course faculty (n=16) participating in areflection faculty development workshop provided preandpost- workshop feedback to two standardizedreflections. Trained raters scored the feedback. Wecalculated inter-rater correlation coefficients, averagedthe raters’ scores and used paired T-tests to determine ifthe total rubric score as well as each individual item <strong>of</strong>the rubric was sensitive to the effect <strong>of</strong> instruction.Results: The inter-rater correlation coefficients rangedfrom 0.64 to 0.86. The raters could not reliably scorecommunication clarity (.39 (pre); 0 (post)). Total rubricscores increased significantly pre- to post-workshop (8.1v. 12.2; p.05).Discussion: We have demonstrated evidence <strong>of</strong> validitybased on content, reliability and sensitivity to anintervention. Further work is required to decide the value<strong>of</strong> the communication clarity item. Medical educators canuse this rubric as training tool in workshops, to evaluatewritten feedback about reflection to learners and helplearners provide feedback to peers.Reflective Critique: We revised the rubric based oninput from four feedback experts and faculty at threeworkshops nationwide. We have submitted to WGEAand RIME for review.Areas abstract covers: UME, GMEDomain(s) addressed: Faculty Development,Feedback, ReflectionOral presentations continued next page8 The Haile T.

Acontext <strong>of</strong> trust facilitates delivery and reception <strong>of</strong>feedback. Feedback delivery in “non-cognitive” domainssuch as interpersonal communications can be morechallenging to deliver. Students can also be lesscomfortable providing corrective feedback as opposed toreinforcing feedback to peers.Methods: During a clinical skills evaluation, we divided46 third-year medical student feedback pairs into twosubgroups: those formed by students who shared asmall group in a longitudinal pre-clerkship clinical skillscourse (prior peer-learning relationship) and byclassmates who had no prior shared small groupexperiences. Students in both subgroups observed theirpartners in a simulated clinical case and then providedfeedback, which we videotaped, transcribed, and codedfor type (general or specific, and reinforcing orcorrective) and content (task or communication). Tworesearchers coded each transcript, and the groupreconciled codes via discussion.Results: Students with a prior peer-learning relationshipprovided increased specific corrective feedback aboutcommunication skills than students with no prior sharedlearning experience (p=0.014). We found no significantdifference between subgroups in corrective feedbackabout tasks, or in reinforcing feedback about eithercommunication skills or tasks.Discussion: Prior peer-learning relationships inlongitudinal clinical skills courses increase and enrichprovision <strong>of</strong> specific corrective feedback aboutcommunication skills. Opportunities for feedbackbetween students with prior peer-learning relationshipsrepresent a potentially underused method <strong>of</strong> helpingstudents improve skills in sensitive clinical skills domainssuch as interpersonal communication.Reflective Critique: ESCape members reviewed a draft<strong>of</strong> the manuscript, and we incorporated their feedback.The RAPtr Review Committee evaluated an abstract andan oral presentation <strong>of</strong> this study. We have submitted amanuscript describing this study to Medical Education.Development <strong>of</strong> a Clinical TeamLeadership Observation andFeedback Tool (LOFT)<strong>San</strong>dra Oza, MD, Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,sandra.oza@ucsfmedctr.org; Edna Miao, BA,Department <strong>of</strong> Neurology, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, ednamiao@gmail.com;Read Pierce, MD, Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>Colorado <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, read.pierce@gmail.com;Anda Kuo, MD, Department <strong>of</strong> Pediatrics, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>AKuo@sfghpeds.ucsf.edu; <strong>San</strong>drijn van Schaik, MD,PhD, Department <strong>of</strong> Pediatrics, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>,<strong>San</strong> Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,VanSchaikS@peds.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: GMEDomain(s) addressed: Feedback, LeadershipPurpose: Identify appropriate terminology and skillsassociated with clinical team leadership based on theLeadership Practice Inventory (LPI)1, and create abehaviorally-anchored assessment tool for residents.Background: Competency in team leadership is arequired outcome <strong>of</strong> residency training, but assessmenttools for leadership skills outside <strong>of</strong> high-acuity settingsare lacking. The LPI is a validated tool used in variousnon-clinical contexts. While LPI terminology has limitedapplicability to clinical settings, we postulated itsconstructs are applicable to clinical team leadership.Methods: We modified the LPI based on clinicalleadership literature to create an open-ended instrument.Residents leading interpr<strong>of</strong>essional inpatient pediatricand internal medicine teams identified 5 team members<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco • <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> 9


<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>to provide feedback using our instrument. Throughiterative qualitative analysis we coded this feedback,identified major themes and extracted leadershipbehaviors. Next, we used modified Delphi methodologywith a panel <strong>of</strong> healthcare leadership experts to rate: firstthe importance <strong>of</strong> behaviors, and second the traininglevel at which these behaviors can be expected. Weanalyzed between-experts agreement using ContentValidity Index (CVI).Results: Seventy-five team members providedfeedback. Qualitative analysis revealed ten domains <strong>of</strong>clinical leadership, and 30 associated behaviors. The 10domains focused on appreciation and motivation,balancing autonomy and supervision, accessibility andinvolvement, seeking input, workload management,feedback, facing challenges, team learning, modelingpr<strong>of</strong>essionalism, and establishing expectations. In thefirst Delphi round, CVI estimates were all ≥0.80. Thesecond round provided the expected training level for allbehaviors. Using these data, we developed abehaviorally-anchored, developmentally-oriented 10-itemtool.Discussion: Our study identified essential leadershipbehaviors to include in a behaviorally-anchored anddevelopmentally-oriented clinical leadershipassessment. We anticipate this tool will fill a gap incompetency assessment.Reflective Critique: We are piloting this tool withresidents to determine its validity and reliability. We willrefine the tool using pilot data prior to dissemination.References: Posner B.http://media.wiley.com/assets/2034/63/LPIAnalysisAug2009.pdfInterpr<strong>of</strong>essional Teamwork inDifferent Clinical Settings: AQualitative Analysis<strong>San</strong>drijn M Van Schaik, MD, PhD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco, vanschaiks@peds.ucsf.edu;Bridget O'Brien, PhD, <strong>UCSF</strong>,ObrienB@medsch.ucsf.edu; <strong>San</strong>dra A Almeida, MD,MPH, <strong>San</strong>dra A.

Published teamwork skillsassessment tools focus primarily on high-acuity contexts(e.g., operating rooms), and may not generalize to nonhigh-acuityenvironments (e.g., outpatient clinics). Thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> a teamwork skill assessment toolapplicable to low-acuity clinical settings requiresunderstanding <strong>of</strong> the construct <strong>of</strong> interpr<strong>of</strong>essionalteamwork and associated skills in those contexts.Methods: We studied 4 interpr<strong>of</strong>essional teams in twodifferent low-acuity settings at our institution: Women’sHIV clinics and inpatient pediatric wards. Over a period<strong>of</strong> 17 months, we collected qualitative data throughdirect observations, focus groups, and interviews. Weanalyzed the data using qualitative thematic analysis,reconciling differences in interpretation through refineddefinitions and recoding, and triangulating data fromdifferent sources.Results: We conducted 7 focus groups and 27individual interviews with a total <strong>of</strong> 36 team membersrepresenting 8 pr<strong>of</strong>essions. The teams in our studyemphasized shared leadership and collaborativedecision-making, mutual respect, recognizing one’s ownand others’ limitations and strengths, and the need tonurture relationships. They also discussed tensionsaround hierarchy and questioned whether physicianleadership is appropriate for interpr<strong>of</strong>essional teams.Discussion: Our findings indicate that thecharacteristics <strong>of</strong> teamwork in low-acuity settings differfrom those <strong>of</strong> teamwork in high-acuity settings, andprovide insights about potential barriers for effectiveteamwork.

The goal was to establish a course tosupport those students intending to return to the US forresidency training.Background: ELAM provides a six year medicaleducation for about ten thousand international (non-Cuban) students, including 120 American students.Preference is given to students who come from the mostunder-resourced communities. <strong>UCSF</strong> faculty interestedin healthcare for underserved communities embarked onthe pilot <strong>of</strong> the <strong>UCSF</strong> Enrichment Program for ELAMStudents.Methods: <strong>UCSF</strong> faculty traveled to ELAM to conduct aninformal needs assessment with US-ELAM students.Over two years, 20 US-ELAM students participated in astructured curriculum in <strong>San</strong> Francisco. In 2012, <strong>UCSF</strong>faculty returned to Cuba and met with a 40 students,continuing several aspects <strong>of</strong> the earlier curriculum andbeginning others. The US-based curriculum wasdeveloped to focus on culturally relevant clinicalinterviewing, US-specific clinical training experiences,and mentoring by US medical faculty. The Cuba-basedcurriculum targeted clinical skills and reasoning,documentation, integrating global health practice intoone’s career, and post-graduate training.Evaluation Plan: Anonymous program evaluationsurveys were completed by participants at the end <strong>of</strong> thefirst session in <strong>San</strong> Francisco and combined withinformal feedback <strong>of</strong>fered by the participants. Allstudents rated the program as outstanding and learnedconcrete skills that would be useful in residency training.Dissemination: The preliminary results <strong>of</strong> the projectwere presented at the UC Global Health Day in 2010.We hope to disseminate this project via presentations atnational conferences.Teaching SBIRT to PediatricResidents: A Design-Based ResearchApproachSara Buckelew, MD, <strong>UCSF</strong>, buckelews@peds.ucsf.edu;Amy Whittle, MD, <strong>UCSF</strong>, whittlea@peds.ucsf.edu; JasonSatterfield, PhD, <strong>UCSF</strong>, jsatter@medicine.ucsf.edu;Paula Lum, MD, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong> plum@php.ucsf.edu;Patricia O'Sullivan, PhD, <strong>UCSF</strong>,osullivanp@medsch.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: GMEDomain(s) addressed: Communication, CurricularInnovation, Patient CarePurpose: We piloted a curriculum to teach SBIRT(screening, referral and brief intervention) for adolescentsubstance use to pediatric residents.Background: We used a design based research (DBR)approach, which examines educational interventions thatare based <strong>of</strong>f a dominant theory, assesses theirperformance in the learning environment, and thengenerates new frameworks for conceptualizing learning.Methods: We implemented a curriculum that included 1)five web-based SBIRT modules, 2) a two-hour in-personseminar to practice motivational interviewing (MI), and 3)two direct observations <strong>of</strong> residents with patients.Supervising physicians used an observation checklist torecord a) how the residents screened for substance use,b) their use <strong>of</strong> MI techniques, and c) strengths/ areas toimprove.Evaluation Plan: After four months, 13 residentscompleted the rotation. Ten residents viewed at least4/5 online training modules, and most (87%) residentsrated they were “very satisfied” with the seminars.Implementing the observation form was more difficult,given the intensive faculty time required for directobservation, the complexity <strong>of</strong> the checklist items, andthat not all observed visits uncovered a substance useproblem.

Thecurriculum will follow the 5E constructivist learning cyclemodel. Each week, students will be presented with aresearch question (Engage), watch the online seminar(Explore) and take an online quiz (Explain). At thebeginning <strong>of</strong> the semester, each student will be assigneda scientific paper relating to the research problem forwhich they will lead a peer-discussion in class(Elaborate). After each class, all students will turn in areflection on the research problem discussed that week.The final assignment will be a 2-page research paperrelating to the facilitated lesson (Evaluate).Evaluation Plan: We will evaluate learning gains foriBioSeminars lectures through pre-post knowledge tests,and assess critical thinking skills at three points in eachlesson (pre/post-video, post-discussion reflections).Analytical and critical thinking skills will be furtherassessed through the research paper.Dissemination: Course materials will be openlyaccessible on the iBioSeminars site, and the evaluationresults will be presented at the ASMCUE conference.Teaching Outpatient Quality & SafetyPrinciples through AmbulatoryMorbidity & Mortality ConferenceAparna Goel, MD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco, aparna.goel@ucsf.edu; Reena Gupta, MD,<strong>San</strong> Francisco General Hospital, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>,<strong>San</strong> Francisco, reena.gupta@ucsf.edu; William Huen,MD, MPH, <strong>San</strong> Francisco General Hospital, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco, william.huen@ucsf.edu;Urmimala Sarkar, MD, MPH, <strong>San</strong> Francisco GeneralHospital, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Franciscourmimala.sarkar@ucsf.edu; Krishan Soni, MD, MBA,<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco,krishan.soni@ucsf.edu; Claire Horton, MD, MPH, <strong>San</strong>Francisco General Hospital, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco, claire.horton@ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: GMEDomain(s) addressed: Competencies, CurricularInnovation, Quality Improvement, ResidencyPurpose: Implement an ambulatory M&M caseconference series to: 1) discuss outpatient medicalerrors and adverse events using a non-judgmentalapproach, 2) identify opportunities for inter-pr<strong>of</strong>essionalcommunication, practice-based learning, and systemsimprovement, and 3) foster a culture <strong>of</strong> ambulatoryquality and safety.Background: Although outpatient adverse events are amajor source <strong>of</strong> morbidity and mortality, morbidity andmortality (M&M) conferences have not been traditionallyconducted in ambulatory settings.Methods: Clinic directors <strong>of</strong> General <strong>Medicine</strong> Clinic at<strong>San</strong> Francisco General Hospital and the Quality & Safetychief resident are identifying a case for discussion.Internal medicine residents, faculty, medical students,and multidisciplinary staff are invited to the M&Mconference.

The impact <strong>of</strong> M&Mconferences on clinic policy and system redesign willalso be measured. At this time, 95.2% <strong>of</strong> participantsreported high satisfaction with ambulatory M&M. 85.0%<strong>of</strong> conference participants reported they were very likelyto or definitely would improve their practice based on theconference.Dissemination: The concept <strong>of</strong> ambulatory M&M, theSFGH matrix and the experiences at GMC will be sharedat poster presentations and ultimately publication in ahigh-impact educational journal.Training Students As HealthCoaches: Aligning Service andEducationKathy Hamlin, Med 4, <strong>UCSF</strong>, kathy.hamlin@ucsf.edu;Isabel Edge, Med 4, <strong>UCSF</strong>, isabel.edge@ucsf.edu;Margo Vener, MD, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong>, mvener@fcm.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: UMEDomain(s) addressed: Communication, Patient Care,Primary CarePurpose: We trained students as health coaches toexplore a new model for engaging medical students inearly, meaningful clinical experiences andsimultaneously playing a useful role that adds value tothe outpatient team.Background: Health coaching helps patients bettermanage their health and improves care outcomes.Active workplace learning enhances confidence,competence, motivation and pr<strong>of</strong>essional identityformation. We sought to immerse early students inprimary care teams to achieve workplace learningbenefits while also providing a valuable patient service.By working as health coaches, students gain skill inpatient interaction, communication, and teamparticipation; they also potentially help improve patientcare.Methods: We trained seven first-year students as healthcoaches. Training included communication strategiessuch as ask-teach-ask, closing the loop, action planning,agenda setting, medication reconciliation, and chronicillness education. Students served as coaches atSFGH's Family Health Center. While patients awaitedtheir doctor, students reconciled medications, providedhealth education, and asked about patients’ visitagendas.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Primary care organizations have embraced theseprinciples, but the formal objectives and evaluationcriteria <strong>of</strong> the Family & Community <strong>Medicine</strong> component<strong>of</strong> PISCES do not explicitly include them.Methods: The “Longitudinal Management <strong>of</strong> Patientsand Populations” curriculum is being piloted to thestudents in the PISCES program for the 2012-<strong>2013</strong>academic year. The students complete: 1) Panelmanagement prevention exercise, 2) a checklist <strong>of</strong> tasksfor longitudinal management <strong>of</strong> an individual patient(creating a problem list, reviewing tests and specialists’assessments, communicating with patients via email andtelephone, etc.), and 3) self-audit <strong>of</strong> chronic diseasemanagement performance. In addition, studentsdocument use <strong>of</strong> motivational interviewing longitudinallyand practice eco-maps and genograms in order to buildclinician-patient relationships.

Based on cognitive taskanalyses <strong>of</strong> novice performance and skills acquisitionprinciples, we postulated that teaching suture handlingmaneuvers (gathering, sliding, and locking) andemphasizing process over outcome would significantlyimprove novice learning. This principle has wideapplication to surgical education, and we anticipate thatit extends beyond the acquisition <strong>of</strong> basic skills.Methods: We developed a novel pedagogical methodthat focuses on kinesthetic maneuvers involved in theprocess <strong>of</strong> knot tying, and produced materials (manual,video) for dissemination. Keys to the method are: explicitdefinitions <strong>of</strong> maneuvers and knot components, order <strong>of</strong>teaching different types <strong>of</strong> knots, and emphasis onphysical setup.Evaluation Plan: We designed a randomized controlledtrial to determine effects <strong>of</strong> our curriculum on noviceperformance compared to a standard teaching method.We recruited 74 first year medical students at <strong>UCSF</strong> andrandomized them to a two-hour knot tying session usingeither the traditional or kinesthetic method. Postinterventionvideos were collected and will be scoredusing a previously validated visual analog scale (VAS).We controlled for practice by collecting practice knots toassess for confounding, and will compare the two groupsusing analysis <strong>of</strong> covariance with practices knots as acovariate and the VAS score as the dependent variable.Dissemination: An instructor’s manual and video havebeen disseminated via MedEdPORTAL. We continue touse this pedagogical method in the Skills Center at<strong>UCSF</strong>.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Purpose: 1) To pilot a new interactive, inquiry-based,online learning platform developed by Odigia as analternative to traditional syllabi; 2) develop efficient waysfor faculty to collaboratively author learning content; and3) solicit feedback from students on essentialfunctionality <strong>of</strong> an inquiry-based online learning platform.Background: The Essential Core curriculum is highlyintegrated, with longitudinal themes and disciplines. Amajor challenge is organizing and presenting a widerange <strong>of</strong> content in a highly structured, yet learner-drivenand engaging format. Emerging educationaltechnologies <strong>of</strong>fer new opportunities to address thischallenge by transforming traditional course syllabi intoan interactive format that students can use throughouttheir medical education.Methods: We are partnering with Odigia on thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> a web-based learning platform. Weperformed an initial pilot using medical genetics andmolecular biology content in M3 with nine 2nd yearmedical students. A larger pilot is planned utilizingcurriculum ambassadors and EC faculty representinglongitudinal disciplines.Evaluation Plan: We used a 12-question survey with 9students to solicit feedback on perceived benefits <strong>of</strong> theOdigia platform compared to paper, PDF or other webbasedformats. Students reported benefits from:embedded self-assessments, integrated multimedia,hyperlinked words to definitions, modular organization <strong>of</strong>content, progress tracking. Students requestedubiquitous accessibility, better annotation capabilities,entire glossary view, and the ability to create flashcards.In the next phase, we will use focus groups and a writtenevaluation tool to evaluate ease <strong>of</strong> editing capabilitiesand interactive features to determine whether thisplatform can effectively replace course syllabi.Dissemination: Project plans will be shared withcollaborating faculty and at EC curriculum committeemeetings and presented at national education meetings.Curriculum ambassadors will present at the showcase.Remedy at <strong>UCSF</strong>: A SustainableStudent-Run InitiativeLily Muldoon, <strong>UCSF</strong> MS 3, <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,lily.muldoon@ucsf.edu; Jessica Gould, <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Medicine</strong>, JGould@ucsf.edu; Jacob Mirsky, <strong>UCSF</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, jacob.mirsky@gmail.com; MeggieWoods, <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,Meggie.Woods@ucsf.edu; Sharad Jain, MD, <strong>UCSF</strong><strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, Sharad.Jain@ucsf.edu; HemalKanzaria, MD, UCLA, hemal.kanzaria@gmail.comAreas abstract covers: UMEDomain(s) addressed: Community <strong>Medicine</strong>, GlobalHealth, Interpr<strong>of</strong>essional EducationPurpose: Remedy at <strong>UCSF</strong> (R@<strong>UCSF</strong>), a servicelearningprogram, reduces medical waste and healthdisparities through socially responsible supplyredistribution.Background: The US healthcare system discards 33pounds <strong>of</strong> medical waste per patient per day. Manyhealth pr<strong>of</strong>essional students are unaware <strong>of</strong> themagnitude <strong>of</strong> this waste and extent <strong>of</strong> worldwideinequities in health resource distribution.Methods: R@<strong>UCSF</strong> partners student volunteers fromhealth pr<strong>of</strong>essional schools with nurses and physiciansworking in under-resourced communities internationally.In collaboration with these communities and <strong>UCSF</strong>hospital staff, students identify reusable supplies that are<strong>of</strong>ten discarded due to federal regulations or proceduralexcess. Students train staff to place these reusablemedical supplies in 17 collection bins strategicallylocated throughout the hospital. R@<strong>UCSF</strong> recruitsnursing, medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy studentswho collect, transport, and sort supplies. Students thencoordinate supply redistribution with <strong>UCSF</strong> staff travelingto in-need clinics, including students on internationalrotations. The hands-on experience exposes students tothe magnitude <strong>of</strong> medical waste and the potential forinternational redistribution <strong>of</strong> supplies.Evaluation Plan: Volunteers record the volume andtype <strong>of</strong> collected supplies. In the past four years,R@<strong>UCSF</strong> has donated over 26,000 pounds <strong>of</strong> supplies.From 2010-2012, the organization directly suppliedprojects in over 20 countries.Dissemination: The R@<strong>UCSF</strong> model can be expandedto other schools and hospitals to recover their unusedsupplies and reduce waste worldwide. To disseminatethis model, we published articles in the Lancet, theDiplomatic Courier and recruited students from otherschools.18 The Haile T. Debas Academy <strong>of</strong> Medical Educators

Our home visit curriculum extended thiscollaboration by having practice partners conduct jointhome visits. The home visit curriculum included anintroductory home visit session addressing functionalassessment skills and home safety evaluations.Resident and NP student pairs, along with a supervisingpreceptor from medicine or nursing, visited two patientsduring a half-day session. Trainees developedmultidisciplinary care plans for their patients. A groupdebrief session following the home visits provided anopportunity for trainees to reflect upon and discuss carecoordination and patient safety issues.Evaluation Plan: Twenty-one trainees and 9 facultypreceptors participated in the home visit curriculum. Themean rating for overall quality was 4.0 out <strong>of</strong> 5(n=11);likelihood <strong>of</strong> changing clinical practice as a result <strong>of</strong> thesession was 4.5 out <strong>of</strong> 5(n=10). Analysis <strong>of</strong> trainees’written reflections (n=15) on lessons learned during thedebrief session highlighted three themes: improvedinsight into patients’ functional status, medication errors,and home safety assessment.Dissemination: We presented the curriculum at SGIM<strong>California</strong> (<strong>2013</strong>) and submitted it to national SGIM.

To address this gap, wecreated a series <strong>of</strong> monthly conferences (CCC) in whichtrainees from multiple health pr<strong>of</strong>essions participate inan interpr<strong>of</strong>essional discussion about medically andpsychosocially complex patients with the goal <strong>of</strong>developing an improved care plan for the patient.Methods: CCC is housed in the SFVAMC Center <strong>of</strong>Excellence in Primary Care Education, which trains NPstudents and internal medicine residents to work as part<strong>of</strong> a Patient Aligned Care Team with pr<strong>of</strong>essionals andtrainees from nursing, psychology, pharmacy, socialwork and dietetics--all <strong>of</strong> whom participate in CCC.Each CCC is an hour-long case-based conference.Trainees work closely with a faculty mentor to prepare,including selecting an appropriate patient, creating casewrite-ups and discussion questions, inviting relevantdiscussants, selecting two pertinent articles from theliterature, and creating a facilitation plan to encouragecollaboration among participants. The trainee writes apost-conference care plan detailing innovations thatarose during CCC and completes a 3-month progressupdate.Evaluation Plan: Evaluation <strong>of</strong> CCC includesobservation <strong>of</strong> participants’ collaborative behaviors;participants’ ratings <strong>of</strong> satisfaction with facilitation,educational value, and collaborative nature <strong>of</strong> theconference; and self-assessments <strong>of</strong> knowledge, skillsand attitudes related to IPC.Dissemination: Our submission to SGIM is underreview and we plan to submit to Med Ed Portal. We planto scale up CCC to other sites, including SFGH andGlide Memorial clinic.Emergency <strong>Medicine</strong> Training forHaitian Senior Medical StudentsKenny Pettersen, BS, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco, kenny.pettersen@ucsf.edu; Sarah Ashley,BS, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, Davis,seashley@ucdavis.edu; Mathieu Edris, MD, l’Universitéd’Etat d’Haiti, mathieu.edris@yahoo.fr; Marc Johnson,MD, l’Université d’Etat d’Haiti drmcjohnson@yahoo.fr;Margaret Salmon, MD, MPH, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>,<strong>San</strong> Francisco, margaret.salmon@ucsf.edu; Jacob Miss,MD, Highland General Hospital, jakemiss@gmail.comAreas abstract covers: UMEDomain(s) addressed: Clinical Instruction andPerformance, Curricular Innovation, Evaluation <strong>of</strong>Programs, Global Health,Purpose: In Haiti, trauma from roadside collisions andnatural disasters is a quickly growing cause <strong>of</strong> morbidityand mortality. At l’Hopital de l’Université d’Etat d’Haiti(HUEH), Haiti's largest public teaching hospital, medicalstudents in their sixth and final year <strong>of</strong> training are <strong>of</strong>tenthe first providers to manage patients as they enter theemergency department in the “critical window” <strong>of</strong> care.HUEH is a partner with the UC system via the UC HaitiInitiative on several efforts, including the goal <strong>of</strong>establishing a more focused training on emergencymedicine for these front-line Haitian providers.Background: Though little is written on short or longtermemergency medicine training in low-incomecountries, studies <strong>of</strong> trainings for healthcarepr<strong>of</strong>essionals suggest that focusing on skill-sets andprocedures is most efficacious.Methods: In December, 2012, a five-day pilot workshopwas conducted for twenty-four senior Haitian medical20 The Haile T.

SFHIP is aninnovative program through <strong>UCSF</strong>’s Clinical andTranslational Science Institute (CTSI) that convenesuniversity, civic, and community based partners tocollaborate on addressing health disparities in <strong>San</strong>Francisco. This course provides students with theopportunity to learn about best practices in communityengagement and to participate in longitudinalcommunity-based activities and partnerships.Background: Service learning is known to reinforcestudent interest in working with underservedcommunities. Longitudinal curricular activities have alsobeen shown to increase student satisfaction and relatedskill sets. By creating a longitudinal service-learningcourse, we hope to create a more robust and meaningfulexperience for our students and community partners. Inaddition, the PRIME-SFHIP partnership reflects theprinciples developed by Community CampusPartnerships for Health (CCPH), a non-pr<strong>of</strong>itorganization promoting health equity and social justice.Methods: The course includes both didactic and servicesessions developed jointly with SFHIP. Students aredivided into four working groups, paired with SFHIPnavigators to address specific health disparities.Didactic sessions cover principals <strong>of</strong> campus-communitypartnership, community assessment, and communitybasedresearch. Service sessions include interviewingstakeholders, aggregating data, conducting literaturereviews, and developing logic models.Evaluation Plan: The course is being evaluated usingpre-post surveys and focus groups for the students.Mid-point focus groups revealed high satisfaction with aneed for increased clarity <strong>of</strong> course objectives.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Transitional Clerkship (TC) for self-selected students,and students referred for remediation to develop clinicalskills.Background: While FPC and TC build patient care andcommunication competencies, many pre-clerkshipstudents need additional practice. Students’ learningneeds vary, with some mastering first- and second-yearmilestones early, seeking to expand expertise, andothers requiring more experience to achieve them.Through an individualized tutorial we aim to improvepreparedness for and reduce stress in clerkships, andbuild pr<strong>of</strong>essional identity for students both at and belowexpected competencies. Our model draws upon “Callfor Reform <strong>of</strong> Medical <strong>School</strong> and Residency” (Cooke,Irby & O’Brien, 2010) by individualizing learning,integrating knowledge with clinical experience, andcultivating pr<strong>of</strong>essional identity.Methods: The elective is open to second-year medicalstudents and spring semester first years. Most studentsself-select; a subset is referred by FPC to remediateclinical competencies. Students create IndividualizedLearning Plans (ILPs). Students spend 4-6 half-daysessions one-on-one with attendings in SFVA’s FacultyHospitalist Group engaged in clinical encountersaddressing their learning goals. After each session,faculty annotate ILPs, providing a dynamic educationalsign-out documenting progress and setting future goals.At course end, students contemplate progress andidentify take-home points.Evaluation Plan: • Faculty annotated ILPs trackprogress on learning goals and identify activities used inskill building. Surveys <strong>of</strong> enrolled and waitlisted studentsadministered in clerkships will assess differences inpreparedness, pr<strong>of</strong>essional identity formation, and stressDissemination: We will submit abstracts to SGIM, SHMand AAMC.References: Cooke, M., Irby, D., & O’Brien, B.

The module was designedcombining two pedagogical architectures for scienceeducation: Understanding By Design and The BiologicalSciences Curriculum Student Five-Es framework.Education specialists and computational modelingexperts at the NIH Office <strong>of</strong> Science Education and theNIH Modeling <strong>of</strong> Infectious Disease Agent Study(MIDAS) group supported development.Methods: We designed and piloted a 3-day modulewhere students explored live simulations <strong>of</strong> in-classepidemics. They then independently researched globalinfectious disease characteristics for tuberculosis,measles, chronic diarrhea, HIV and influenza. In groups,students applied background research to computationalepidemic models. They formulated hypothesis regardingthe affect <strong>of</strong> disease characteristics such as incubationtime, vaccination rates and transmission probabilities onepidemic frequency, rate and size. They rapidlygenerated large volumes <strong>of</strong> simulation data andarticulated how their data supported or refuted theirhypothesis.Evaluation Plan: Students provide pilot feedback inwritten evaluations <strong>of</strong> learning.

Objectives: demonstrate writtenelements <strong>of</strong> a discharge summary; understand roles <strong>of</strong>key members <strong>of</strong> the interdisciplinary care team; reviewand accurately reconcile medication list; demonstratepr<strong>of</strong>iciency in navigating the VA health care system toprovide needed services at discharge.Background: Hospital discharge is a high-risk time forpatient safety and requires competency in multipledomains. Interns have generally been expected tocomplete hospital discharges with little formal instructionor feedback. EPA's <strong>of</strong>fer a way to evaluate directlyobserved competence in clinical practice. Creating anEPA requires defining the essential activities <strong>of</strong> practiceand the expected roles <strong>of</strong> learners as they develop andgain experience. <strong>UCSF</strong>’s internal medicine residencyprogram has implemented a discharge summary EPA toexamine intern practice with VA hospitalist supervision.Methods: Each VA ward month, medicine interns meetwith both a hospitalist attending and pharmacist to reflectupon their discharge summary.

Although healthpr<strong>of</strong>essionals must develop skills in interpr<strong>of</strong>essionalism,we lack methods to evaluate patient-centeredness ininterpr<strong>of</strong>essional encounters.Methods: We modeled 2 SP cases on actual patientswith chronic medical and complex psychosocial issues.One portrayed a homeless veteran with uncontrolleddiabetes; the other was an elderly man with cognitivedysfunction and at-risk alcohol use. We also developed4 SIs (representing nursing, pharmacy, psychology, andsocial work) with whom trainees discussed the SP caseswith SIs. To ensure SI case fidelity, we interviewedrepresentatives from each pr<strong>of</strong>ession on their scope <strong>of</strong>practice, incorporated interview responses into SItraining, and used trainees from each pr<strong>of</strong>ession as SIs.As an added challenge, we coached SIs to exhibitsuboptimal patient-centered behaviors. During theITOSCE, 2 nurse practitioner fellows and 4 internalmedicine residents rotated through both SP cases, eachfollowed by case discussions with 3 SIs. After theITOSCE, trainees discussed the experience in focusgroups.Results: Trainees described SP and SI cases asauthentic but found SIs more difficult than typicalinterpr<strong>of</strong>essional interactions. They felt ITOSCE wasadvantageous to practicing patient-centered skillsincluding motivational interviewing and agenda setting.Discussion: We designed an ITOSCE with reasonableface validity. The ITOSCE holds promise as a method toassess trainees’ interactions with patients andinterpr<strong>of</strong>essional colleagues. Next steps include codingboth types <strong>of</strong> interactions for patient-centered behaviors.We are disseminating at conferences and preparing amanuscript.Reflective Critique: We will modify SP and SI casesbased on focus group feedback.What Really Happens During WardRounds?: A Multisite, ObservationalStudy <strong>of</strong> Patient Care, Teaching, andBedside BehaviorsAlyssa Bogetz, MSW, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco, alyssa.bogetz@ucsf.edu; Sylvia Bereknyei,DrPH, Stanford <strong>University</strong>, sylviab@stanford.edu;Bradley Monash, MD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco, bmonash@medicine.ucsf.edu; StephanieRennke, MD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Franciscosrennke@medicine.ucsf.edu; Sara Buckelew, MD,<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco,buckelews@peds.ucsf.edu; Clarence Braddock, MD,Stanford <strong>University</strong>, cbrad@stanford.edu; JasonSatterfield, PhD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco,jsatter@medicine.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: UME, GMEDomain(s) addressed: Clinical Instruction andPerformance, Communication, Cultural Competence,Patient CarePurpose: This project measured patient-centeredness,leaner-centeredness, and social and behavioral topicsthat emerged during ward rounds to establish aperformance baseline, capture best practices, andidentify pressing educational needs.<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco • <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> 25


<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Background: Hospital rounds are the cornerstone <strong>of</strong>clinical teaching and pr<strong>of</strong>essional identity development,however, learner burnout and patient recidivism aresubstantial. Opportunities to optimize the experience <strong>of</strong>learners and patients may be constrained by clinicaldemands, patient census, and a perception that thesocial and behavioral sciences (SBS) are too timeconsuming for inpatient medicine. Little is currentlyknown about the process or content <strong>of</strong> ward rounds.Methods: N=80 ward teams (40 Med, 40 Peds: 40<strong>UCSF</strong>, 40 Stanford) were observed during clinicalrounds by a pair <strong>of</strong> observers. Observers used astructured codesheet to assess patient and learnercenteredness, overall quality, SBS issues that emerged,and best practices/missed opportunities. The codesheetwas based on previously validated tools, expert opinion,and iterative field testing.Results: Rounding teams on average saw 7.8 patientsover 2.1 hours. Learner-centered scores ranged from2.7/5 (discussed goals) to 3.6 (learning climate).Patient-centered scores ranged from 1.9 (elicitingdecision making preferences) to 3.9 (showing respect).Global ratings ranged from 3.6/5(responsiveness) to 3.8(listening). Faculty-led rounds had higher qualityteaching than resident-led rounds. At least one SBStopics emerged in 51.3% <strong>of</strong> bedside patient encounterswith health behaviors being the most common. Qualitysuffered with larger team size and patient census.Discussion: We used structured observations to assesscurrent teaching and patient care practices on wardrounds. Findings from this study will shape newinpatient curricula to improve learner/patientcenteredness and SBS coverage.Reflective Critique: Feedback was received from theAssociation American <strong>of</strong> Medical Colleges, Society forGeneral Internal <strong>Medicine</strong>, American PsychologicalAssociation and local faculty development workshops.Results have been discussed with the medicine andpediatrics departments.Help Me Help Myself: StudentAttitudes About Self-DirectedLearning Tools in Core ClerkshipsLaura Cantino, MSIV, <strong>UCSF</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,laura.cantino@ucsf.edu; H.

In 2011-12, the <strong>Medicine</strong>, Pediatrics, Ob/Gyn,Psychiatry and Neurology core block clerkshipsintroduced individualized learning plans (ILPs) andfeedback from faculty or residents using the BriefStructured Clinical Observation (BSCO) tool.Methods: Participating students received an end-<strong>of</strong>-year33-item paper survey. Primary outcomes were attitudesabout the ILP and BSCO tools and engagement asmeasured by timing <strong>of</strong> ILP completion. Investigatorscoded survey comments using content analysis.Results: The survey response rate was 76% (152/200),representing 119 students. Students completing the ILPat the beginning <strong>of</strong> the clerkship, as instructed, reportedgreater value for their learning (26% <strong>of</strong> students,mean=3.32, SD=0.98 on 5-point Likert scale) than thosewho completed it at the middle <strong>of</strong> the clerkship (25%,2.72/1.10) or at the end (46%, 2.05/1.08), p

Learningcommunities that students inhabit in their first two yearsdissipate in favor <strong>of</strong> immediate workplace learning thatoccurs in clinical settings. We have constructed severaldifferent clerkship program models with continuity(CMCs) to help medical students transition to anddevelop throughout the clerkship year.Methods: We randomly assigned students in traditionalblock clerkships and CMCs to complete a survey <strong>of</strong>open-ended questions based on one <strong>of</strong> two frameworks:workplace learning or learning communities. Weconducted qualitative content analysis to characterizestudents’ experiences and match overlapping themes.Results: Students in all programs highlightedoverlapping characteristics <strong>of</strong> both workplace learningand learning communities. Students in CMCs morefrequently mentioned themes about regular meetings,teamwork, confiding in each other, comparingthemselves with their peers in the workplace, methods <strong>of</strong>enabling patient continuity, and means <strong>of</strong> obtainingimportant clinical experiences and improving efficiency.Discussion: Students learn the ropes <strong>of</strong> the clerkshipsthrough important peer-to-peer social learning networks,which we term workplace learning communities. Inthese communities, peers provide accessible, real-time,and relevant resources to help each other navigatetransitions, clarify roles and tasks, manage interpersonalchallenges, and decrease isolation. Medical schools cansupport the formation and functioning <strong>of</strong> these clinicallybasedlearning communities through the structure <strong>of</strong> theclerkship year by incorporating continuity with peers.Reflective Critique: We have submitted this work forconsideration at both AERA and at AAMC-RIME; wehave incorporated feedback from the AERA submissionprocess into the abstract.Two Years <strong>of</strong> Experience Embedding“Becoming the Patient” into the“Foundations <strong>of</strong> Patient Care” courseat <strong>UCSF</strong>Adan Garcia-Mecinas, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, Berkeley,adan.garciamecinas@yahoo.com; Joe Mendez, MD,Barnes-Jewish Hospital; Heather Bennett, MD,<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco; Amin Azzam,MD, MA, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco <strong>School</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, Amin.Azzam@ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: GME, CMEDomain(s) addressed: Communication, Competencies,Pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism, Quality ImprovementPurpose: We created the “Becoming the Patient”curricular module to promote pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism andawareness around medical illness and disability amonghealth pr<strong>of</strong>essionals.

In 2011, we<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco • <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> 27


<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>piloted a facilitated 2-hour MS-1 “Becoming the Patient”small group session at <strong>UCSF</strong>. In 2012, scheduleconflicts necessitated splitting the content across twodifferent split-half sessions (e.g. the two hours wereseparately presented in one hour segments abutting twoother one-hour curricular elements). We assessed theimpact <strong>of</strong> “Becoming the Patient,” both as a single andtwo-part session.Methods: Students completed paper-based evaluationsimmediately after the session(s). Both the 2011 and2012 surveys included twelve Likert items to assessmodule effectiveness; the 2012 survey added threeopen-ended questions evaluating the impact <strong>of</strong> the splithalftwo-part structure. There were 135 respondents in2011 and 100 in 2012.Results: Most students agreed or strongly agreed thatthe curricular module enhanced their appreciation for“the presence <strong>of</strong> medical illness and disability within themedical community” (88% in 2011 vs. 80% in 2012).However, we were less successful in teaching medicalstudents how to “locate articles and resources availablefor pr<strong>of</strong>essionals with illness or disability” (48% stronglydisagreed/disagreed in 2011 vs. 31% in 2012).Discussion: In two consecutive years, medical studentsdo not feel competent in their abilities to “locate articlesand resources available for pr<strong>of</strong>essionals with illness ordisability.” Therefore, we intend to modify the module tobetter emphasize this aspect <strong>of</strong> the intended objectives.Reflective Critique: “Becoming the Patient” is aneffective curricular module in promoting pr<strong>of</strong>essionalismand awareness around medical illness and disabilityamong health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, but can be improved tobetter assist students’ abilities locating articles andresources available for pr<strong>of</strong>essionals with illness ordisability.The Effect <strong>of</strong> Resident Duty-hoursRestrictions on Internal <strong>Medicine</strong>Clerkship Experiences: A Survey <strong>of</strong>Clerkship DirectorsKaren Hauer, MD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong> <strong>San</strong>Francisco, khauer@medicine.ucsf.edu; ChristyBoscardin, PhD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong> <strong>San</strong> Francisco,BoscardinCK@medsch.ucsf.edu; Dario Torre, MD, MPH,PhD, Drexel <strong>University</strong> College <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,Dario.Torre@DrexelMed.edu; Jennifer Kogan, MD,Perelman <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>Pennsylvania, Jennifer.Kogan@uphs.upenn.eduAreas abstract covers: GMEDomain(s) addressed: Patient Care, ResidencyPurpose: To examine internal medicine clerkshipdirectors’ perceptions <strong>of</strong> the effects <strong>of</strong> current residentduty-hours regulations on students’ experiences withteaching, feedback and evaluation, and patient care.Background: Medical students receive much <strong>of</strong> theirclerkship teaching from residents. The 2011Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education(ACGME) duty-hours restrictions for residents changethe inpatient team structure and represent a majorchange to the learning environment for medical students.Methods: The Clerkship Directors in Internal <strong>Medicine</strong>(CDIM) annual survey queried members about 2011duty-hours regulations just before (2011) and after(2012) implementation. Twenty-four survey itemsaddressed perceptions <strong>of</strong> the effect <strong>of</strong> resident dutyhoursregulations on students (1-5 Likert scale, where5=strongly agree that this item is greater with newregulations). We calculated descriptive statistics andconducted factor analysis to identify the effects <strong>of</strong> dutyhoursrestrictions on students. We compared 2011 and2012 results using paired sample t-tests.Results: The 2011 survey response rate was 73%(85/113 institutions); in 2012 it was 82% (99/121).Respondents perceived negative effects <strong>of</strong> duty-hoursregulations on students in both years related to teachingand feedback, students’ experience <strong>of</strong> continuity,transfers <strong>of</strong> patient care, teaching enthusiasm, andhousestaff time for teaching (all means < 3.0). In 2012,respondents more strongly perceived that duty-hoursregulations made evaluating students’ clinical skills moredifficult (p=.004) and encroached on students’ patientcare experiences more than had been anticipated in2011 (p=

This technology isbecoming sufficiently popular that the national VHASimLEARN project is investigating its potential bestuses. The current literature is inconclusive on the safetyeffects <strong>of</strong> this simulator but has found a significantreduction in OR case length (1-3). These time savingshave not previously been quantified to determine theadjusted cost <strong>of</strong> simulation technology.Methods: We perform a cost analysis modeling ahypothetical residency program with 2-9 residents over 5to 10 years <strong>of</strong> simulator use life.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Results: Number <strong>of</strong> residents in a training program hasthe largest potential impact on cost-savings associatedwith Eyesi simulation technology. OR time-savings arelikely to reduce the price <strong>of</strong> a simulator for an averageresidency by $10,674 to $19,882 at 5 and 10 years <strong>of</strong>use. For the largest residencies, simulation maygenerate $103,763 in OR time-savings leading to anadjusted machine cost <strong>of</strong> just under $50,000.Discussion: OR time-savings associated with virtualreality simulation may significantly reduce purchaseprice, especially for large residencies. Smallerresidencies may benefit from Eyesi simulator sharing toachieve economies <strong>of</strong> scale. Further investigation intoimproved safety and qualitative effects may quantifyadditional value <strong>of</strong> this simulator.Reflective Critique: We received feedback on theimportance <strong>of</strong> potential reductions in vitreous loss rateswith virtual reality simulation. We do not include it in theanalysis here due to lack <strong>of</strong> supporting evidence, butwould like to investigate changes in complication rates at<strong>UCSF</strong> after adoption <strong>of</strong> this technology to add to theeffectiveness literature.References: 1) Belyea DA, Brown SE, Rajjoub LZ.

In someprograms, residents participate in student teaching. Thispractice is <strong>of</strong>ten driven by eager residents, the desire toteach residents how to teach, and in some departmentsacross the country, the need to fill teaching gapsresulting from limited faculty teaching time. It is unclearhow resident lectures are perceived compared tolectures from attending faculty.Methods: Numerical evaluations <strong>of</strong> lectures given byfaculty, fellows, and residents were collected over a oneyear period as part <strong>of</strong> routine course evaluations for afourth year medical student radiology elective. Thelecture scores were compared, overall with an ANOVAtest and pair-wise with a student t-test. A pre-defined lowp-value threshold was used for the t-tests to account forthe multiple comparisons. To account for the inherentclustering <strong>of</strong> the data due to repeat lecturers, the datawere re-analyzed on a “per lecturer” basis.Results: 307 individual lecture scores were collected.There was no statistical difference between the lecturescores received by attending faculty (mean 9.10 on ascale <strong>of</strong> 10) and residents (8.99/10), p = 0.08.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Results: 94% and 95% <strong>of</strong> 4th and 1st year studentsreported they “enjoyed” or “really enjoyed” the near-peerteaching experience. 82% <strong>of</strong> 4th years perceivedimprovement in their teaching skills and an increase intheir knowledge <strong>of</strong> the subject matter. Only 47% <strong>of</strong> the4th years thought they were “helpful” or “very helpful,”though 89% <strong>of</strong> the 1st years thought their 4th year coinstructorsas “helpful” or “very helpful.”Discussion: A novel “near-peer” program <strong>of</strong> 4th yearmedical students co-instructing 1st year students waspiloted. All participants enjoyed the experience, andfourth years thought the session was educational forthem as well. Although most 4th years did not judgethemselves as overly helpful, most 1st year studentsoverwhelming considered them helpful.Reflective Critique: This project was designed in ahighly collaborative manner.

Experiences in BCsand LICs may encourage and reinforce different valuesand behaviors.Methods: In this qualitative study, research assistantsinterviewed 48 third-year students from three UnitedStates medical schools. Half the students participated inBCs, the other half in LICs. Students completedinterviews in which they described the ideal student intheir clerkship. Using phenomenographic techniques, theauthors identified five pr<strong>of</strong>iles <strong>of</strong> the ideal student andcoded each student’s description for alignment withthese pr<strong>of</strong>iles. Students’ clinical supervisors (9 block, 17LIC) also provided descriptions <strong>of</strong> the ideal student,which were coded and compared to students’descriptions.Results: The majority <strong>of</strong> students in both modelsdescribed an ideal student who fit the learner pr<strong>of</strong>ile(pro-active, self-directed, improvement-oriented).Differences between models appeared early and lateyearas more block students described an ideal studentas a team player (working well with others) andperformer (appearing knowledgeable and competent)while more LIC students described an ideal student as acaregiver (caring for, engaging with, and advocating forpatients). Although supervisors’ descriptions <strong>of</strong> the idealshowed patterns similar to students in their respectiveclerkship models, they less commonly emphasizedcaregiving.Discussion: Students’ descriptions <strong>of</strong> the ideal studentin block and LIC models revealed differences consistentwith experiences that have been reported for eachmodel. These findings suggest implications for students’motivations and emerging pr<strong>of</strong>essional identities.Reflective Critique: We presented the study at ESCapeand received invaluable feedback which we havealready incorporated into our manuscript.Development and Implementation <strong>of</strong>an Interpr<strong>of</strong>essional StandardizedPatient Assessment<strong>San</strong>dra Oza, MD, Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,sandra.oza@ucsfmedctr.org; Christy Boscardin, PhD,Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,BoscardinCK@medsch.ucsf.edu; Maria Wamsley, MD,Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong>Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,maria.wamsley@ucsf.edu; Aimee Sznewajs, RN, NP,32 The Haile T.

Interpr<strong>of</strong>essionallearning assessments can determine readiness forinterpr<strong>of</strong>essional interactions and simultaneouslyhighlight the importance <strong>of</strong> interpr<strong>of</strong>essional practice tostudents.Methods: Four authors representing medicine andnursing developed an interpr<strong>of</strong>essional SP case, “VL,”for four schools during the 2012 <strong>California</strong> ClinicalPerformance Examination. An interpr<strong>of</strong>essional teamparticipated during all stages <strong>of</strong> case development andactor training. The student is tasked with collaboratingwith a standardized nurse (SN) to gather information andinitiate a diagnostic and management plan. Studentassessment is based on two checklists: a 29-item SPchecklist (2) and an 11-item SN checklist targetinginterpr<strong>of</strong>essional practice competencies (3). Studentsurveys <strong>of</strong> interpr<strong>of</strong>essional self-efficacy andexperiences were also collected.Results: Eighty-eight percent (464/530) <strong>of</strong> studentstaking the exam consented to study inclusion. Of apossible 100%, the mean overall performance scores(SD) across all sites was 74.65(9.31) on the SPchecklist, and 79.57(14.12) on the SN checklist.Analyses exploring relationships between performancescores, interpr<strong>of</strong>essional curricula across sites, studentself-efficacy and interpr<strong>of</strong>essional experiences areongoing.Discussion: Our interpr<strong>of</strong>essional SP case was feasiblein a high-stakes clinical skills exam, and demonstratedthat SP assessments can be adapted to evaluateinterpr<strong>of</strong>essional competency. Ongoing analyses <strong>of</strong>factors associated with interpr<strong>of</strong>essional performancecan inform future curriculum development in IPE.Reflective Critique: Nursing feedback during actortraining highlighted an unrealistic aspect <strong>of</strong> the nursingrole that has been revised to more accurately capturetheir pr<strong>of</strong>essional practice. Informal student feedbackcollected after the exam prompted modifications toensure smoother implementation during future exams.References: 1.

Atthe <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Medicine</strong> in 2012, the mini-Clinical Performance Exam(mini-CPX) included a case <strong>of</strong> surgical disease to assessstudents’ performance <strong>of</strong> key steps in evaluation andmanagement <strong>of</strong> the acute abdomen.Methods: In October 2012, 173 third-year <strong>UCSF</strong>medical students participated in the mini-CPX. A surgicalcase involved a man with acute abdominal pain due tocholecystitis secondary to sickle cell disease.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>hospital. Standardized patients used checklists to ratestudent performance <strong>of</strong> expected history taking, physicalexam, information sharing and communication. Studentsalso answered questions in an inter-station exercise toprobe their thought process and analysis <strong>of</strong> pertinentfindings and differential diagnosis.Results: Overall, 55.5% failed to recommend admission,58.4% did not explain the relation <strong>of</strong> hemolytic diseaseto acute cholecystitis to the patient, and 88.7% did notask to perform a rectal exam.Discussion: Over half <strong>of</strong> the students did not performkey physical exam and counseling items for a patientwith an acute abdomen. Students’ performance in themini-CPX revealed specific areas for improvement inmedical student evaluation <strong>of</strong> the patient with acuteabdominal pain. Further data analysis will determinewhether completion <strong>of</strong> Surgery 110 has a favorableimpact on the mini-CPX as demonstrated by improvedperformance in the standardized patient checklist. Wewill also evaluate responses on the interstation exerciseto understand students’ approaches and clinicalreasoning in evaluating the patient with acute abdominalpain.Reflective Critique: As educators, we hope to useinformation from this study to enhance the curriculum forstudents, thereby better preparing them to evaluate,diagnose, and manage patients with acute surgicaldisease.Impact <strong>of</strong> a Workshop andIndividualized Coaching on PediatricProvider Skillfulness in MotivationalInterviewingAmy Whittle, MD, <strong>UCSF</strong>, Whittlea@peds.ucsf.edu;Jennifer Hettema, PhD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Virginia,JEH7DV@hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu; Jennifer Manuel,PhD, <strong>UCSF</strong>, jennifer.manuel@ucsf.edu; EileenMcCormick, BA, <strong>UCSF</strong> mccormicke@php.ucsf.edu;Carrie Cangelosi, MSW, SFGH,carrie.cangelosi@sfdph.org; Sarah De La Cerda, MSW,SFGH, sarah.delacerda@sfdph.org; Matt Tierney, PNP,<strong>UCSF</strong>, mtierney@ucsf.edu; Paula Lum, MD, MPH,<strong>UCSF</strong>, plum@php.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: CMEDiscussion: A single half-day training plus a coachingcall can change and maintain provider fidelity to MI. Theresults <strong>of</strong> the study were presented at the AcademicDomain(s) addressed: Communication, FacultyDevelopment, Standardized PatientsPurpose: We investigated whether an MI workshop plusa single individualized coaching call could improveproviders’ MI performance in standardized patient (SP)interviews.Background: Motivational interviewing (MI) is anevidence-based method for promoting behavior changein adult and pediatric populations. MI uses a guidingstyle to address ambivalence and draw out a person’sown arguments for change. MI is a complex skill thattakes practice and feedback to develop. Individualcoaching is one technique that could enhance MItraining.Methods: Pediatric providers completing a 4-hour MItraining as part <strong>of</strong> a departmental retreat were invited toparticipate in a curriculum evaluation. Providerscompleted baseline assessments with a telephonebasedSP, attended the training, received a 1-weekfollow-up SP call (FU1), participated in an optionalcoaching call to receive feedback on FU1, andcompleted a 2-month FU2. Interviews were coded usingthe Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity scale3.1.1. Paired samples t-tests were used to investigatethe significance <strong>of</strong> changes from baseline to each followuppoint. In addition, because <strong>of</strong> concerns regarding lowpower from small sample size, unbiased estimators <strong>of</strong>effect size, d, were calculated.Results: 11/22 (50%) <strong>of</strong> invited providers completed thebaseline SP call and attended the training. All wereretained at FU1, 8/11 (73%) completed a coaching call,and 7/11 (64%) completed FU2. At baseline, fidelity toMI was highly variable. Mean MI Spirit ranged from 2-4.66 (M=3.39, SD=.95), with 7/11 providers meeting orexceeding beginning pr<strong>of</strong>iciency standards (average <strong>of</strong>3.5). Providers tended to use few reflections comparedwith questions (M=0.13:1, SD=0.9:1). At FU1, all MITIglobal scores, behavior counts, and summary scoresimproved, however only MI Adherent behaviors andSimple Reflections reached statistical significance. Mostchanges had small to moderate effect sizes.Improvements were maintained at FU2, but coaching didnot further increase SP performance. Mean summaryscores met or approached beginning pr<strong>of</strong>iciency levelsfor most outcomes, with the exception <strong>of</strong> reflection toquestion ratio, which was still low (0.28:1) at FU2.Pediatric Association region IX and X meeting inconjuction with a training on motivational interviewing.The findings will also be shared at the national Pediatric34 The Haile T.

This “neurophobia” stemsfrom the challenge <strong>of</strong> putting the exam into clinicalpractice. A targeted neurological exam engages clinicalreasoning skills and is more efficient and sensitive thana comprehensive exam. A longitudinal curriculuminitiated early in medical school that builds to a targetedapproach may help overcome neurophobia. Delivery <strong>of</strong>this curriculum via tablet computer encourages studentengagement, allows individualized exploration andfacilitates links to clinical experiences.Methods: Following a review <strong>of</strong> the literature and aformal needs assessment a consensus set <strong>of</strong>examination maneuvers for the essential screening,comprehensive screening, and common symptomtargetedneurologic exams were developed. Video clipsand descriptions <strong>of</strong> each exam maneuver were createdusing patient volunteers. Interactive cases with video,game-like elements and expert answers wereconstructed around the common symptom sets. A tabletbasedcurriculum was chosen to allow for use at thepoint <strong>of</strong> care.Evaluation Plan: A pretest and post-test <strong>of</strong> exammaneuver selection and clinical reasoning during theMS3 neurology clerkship will be used to comparestudents with and without access to symptom targetedexams against historical controls. Measures <strong>of</strong> selfregulationand metacognition will also be assessed.Dissemination: The curriculum will be deployed as aniPad-based application, NeuroExam Tutor, in the firsthalf <strong>of</strong> the first year and revisited in later courses.

Students learn colorectal cancerscreening guidelines during their second year.Understanding complex guidelines and one’s ownpersonal risk factors are integral components forprevention and early screening for colon cancer.Methods: We determined what students learned aboutcolorectal cancer screening guidelines and thendeveloped a Standardized Patient based case to useduring the Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE).Our case depicts a 54 year old patient who has not seena doctor in three years with a family history <strong>of</strong> coloncancer and blood in his stool. During a preventativehealth care visit, the student is asked to take a focusedhistory and provide patient education as necessary. Thestudent must also address the patient’s fears to increasethe patient’s screening compliance. In addition toproviding verbal education, the students create anunderstandable and non-technical patient educationdocument that includes recommendations for lifestylemodifications, risk factors for colorectal cancer, and nextsteps.Evaluation Plan: The students will evaluate this caseusing a paper based qualitative feedback and Likertscaleevaluation.Dissemination: This case will continue to be part <strong>of</strong> theOSCE and will be submitted to MedEd Portal.Reflective Critique: These students received coursecontent on colorectal screening guidelines and patientcommunication.

Manybelieve that pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism is a virtue and that thosewho behave unpr<strong>of</strong>essionally lack that virtue. As aconsequence, our approach to pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism lapseshas focused on discipline. An alternate view is thatpr<strong>of</strong>essionalism is a complex competency and thatlapses should be approached with an educationalintervention.Methods: The PLC is designing case-based workshopsthat will demonstrate commonly encounteredpr<strong>of</strong>essional dilemmas and provide opportunities topractice self-regulation skills in three domains for thephysician: 1) as an individual, 2) as a member <strong>of</strong> apr<strong>of</strong>essional peer group, and 3) as a leader within thesystem. Cases are being developed from a literaturereview, AAMC Graduation Questionnaire results, and<strong>UCSF</strong> clinical teaching evaluations. Short video clips <strong>of</strong>Standardized Colleague trigger scenes are beingdeveloped for Grand Rounds presentations. The PLCwill recruit new members at each workshop to grow thenumber <strong>of</strong> individuals committed to advancingpr<strong>of</strong>essionalism in the clinical environment.Evaluation Plan: We will examine faculty attitudestowards a skill-based approach to pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism andassess faculty skills using a checklist completed by anexperienced observer that has received priorpr<strong>of</strong>essionalism skills training. Pr<strong>of</strong>essional lapses andchallenges within each clinical discipline will be analyzedto develop additional workshops.Dissemination: Case-based workshops will bedisseminated at departmental Grand Rounds.Ultimately, we plan to extend the workshops to includeother <strong>UCSF</strong> health pr<strong>of</strong>essions schools.Reflective Critique: We are soliciting feedback from allparticipating faculty in the Pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism LearningCommunity in addition to expertise locally and nationallyand departmental feedback.PRIME Capstone Group Project:Optimizing Patient Experience atChinatown Public Health CenterYee-Bun Lui, MD, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong>, luiy@fcm.ucsf.edu;Unity Nguyen, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong>, unity.n@gmail.com; AnnaLoeb, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong>, Anna.Loeb@ucsf.edu; JanisSethness, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong> Janis.Sethness@ucsf.edu; JohnTrinidad, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong>, John.Trinidad@ucsf.edu; AishaQueen-Johnson, MSW, <strong>UCSF</strong>, Queen-JohnsonA@fcm.ucsf.edu; Elisabeth Wilson, MD, MPH,<strong>UCSF</strong>, ewilson@fcm.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: UMEDomain(s) addressed: Competencies, CurricularInnovation, Leadership, Primary CarePurpose: The PRIME-US Capstone course aims toprovide opportunities for senior medical students toimprove their pr<strong>of</strong>essional competencies.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Capstone students served as a consultant team forChinatown Public Health Center (CPHC), a safety netclinic in the <strong>San</strong> Francisco DPH system. In partnershipwith CPHC, this month-long group project was designedwith the explicit purpose <strong>of</strong> helping students advancetheir leadership and health care managementcompetencies.Background: Group projects have known efficacy inhelping students develop pr<strong>of</strong>essional competencies. Bycollaborating with our community partner on the design<strong>of</strong> a group project with the explicit goals <strong>of</strong> advancingleadership and health care management competencies,we were able to create a hands-on and meaningfulexperience for our students and community partner. Inthe process, the students provided services <strong>of</strong> addedvalue to the health center and gained valuableadvancement in their competencies.Methods: The consultant team was given the projectobjective to “improve the patient care experience atCPHC from the moment they walk through the door tothe moment they leave.” They began by meeting withclinic leadership who pledged full support and necessaryresources for their project. Under the guidance <strong>of</strong> theCPHC Associate Medical Director, the studentsconducted work flow/cycle time analysis from theperspective <strong>of</strong> patients, shadowed registration staff,interviewed clinic management, conducted focus groupsand surveys with CPHC staff, completed point <strong>of</strong> care(POC) surveys with patients, and presented theirfindings and recommendations at an all CPHC staffmeeting.Evaluation Plan: Weekly check-in was held with thestudents. End <strong>of</strong> project feedback session wasconducted. Students also completed a formal projectevaluation survey.Dissemination: We will submit abstracts to the FamilyCommunity <strong>Medicine</strong> Colloquium and the WGEAConference.Reflective Critique: Group reflection session withstudents generates feedback for PRIME leadership,resulting in ideas for group project improvement.Twittering Toxicology: Use <strong>of</strong> Micro-Blog for Asynchronous Teaching <strong>of</strong>Toxicology to Emergency <strong>Medicine</strong>ResidentsDerrick Lung, MD MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong>,derrick.lung@emergency.ucsf.edu; Patil Armenian, MD,<strong>UCSF</strong>, parmenian@fresno.ucsf.edu; Rais Vohra, MD,<strong>UCSF</strong>, rvohra@fresno.ucsf.edu; Michelle Lin, MD, <strong>UCSF</strong>michelle.lin@emergency.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: GMEDomain(s) addressed: Curricular Innovation,Mentoring, ResidencyPurpose: EM-Toxicologists and emergency medicineresidents with a concentration in toxicology will use thesocial media tool Twitter as an educational adjunct. Wewill survey residents before and after a year <strong>of</strong> use toqualitatively assess the tool's impact on their education.We will also qualitatively describe the postings on Twitterduring this time.Background: Learning toxicology is an inherentlyasynchronous process. While poisoning cases arefrequent, it is well known that the clinically severe ornovel toxicities are infrequent. The expected breadth <strong>of</strong>knowledge in toxicology for emergency medicineresidents is much larger than what is typicallyexperienced during a residency. In addition, medicaltoxicologists are rarely accessible in residencyeducation. Usually, a residency program has no medicaltoxicologists on staff. Even when medical toxicologistsare available faculty, they are not always physicallypresent or available to reinforce salient learning points <strong>of</strong>all educationally important toxicologic casesencountered by residents. / / We seek to use socialmedia, specifically Twitter, to make broaden the reachand accessibility <strong>of</strong> toxicology education amongemergency medicine residents. There have been fewpublished studies using social media for residencyeducation. Publications regarding social media inhealthcare education are predominantly opinion piecesregarding methods and principles <strong>of</strong> social media use ineducation. Our study is unique in that we will attempt tomeasure the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> social media as a teachingtool.Methods: This is an observational study, usingqualitative descriptions <strong>of</strong> teaching content and methods.We aim to describe the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> our teaching toolby the quantity and type <strong>of</strong> educator-learner interactions.Evaluation Plan: We are primarily evaluating the extent<strong>of</strong> active resident participation to judge the effectiveness<strong>of</strong> our teaching tool.Dissemination: Publication <strong>of</strong> results and discussion <strong>of</strong>challenges <strong>of</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> social media.42 The Haile T.

The <strong>UCSF</strong> Department<strong>of</strong> Family and Community <strong>Medicine</strong> has multipleprograms to support an innovative residency-leveltraining program at SFGH’s Family Health Center,including the Family HIV Clinic (FHIVC), the PacificAIDS Education and Training Center (PAETC), and theNational HIV/AIDS Clinicians’ Consultation Center. TheFHIVC cares for HIV-positive patients and their families,including partners and HIV-exposed infants.Methods: We developed a two-year longitudinalprogram for four residents. Our model includes smallgroupdidactics and workshops, online modules [2], andcontinuity clinical experience incorporating interpr<strong>of</strong>essionaltraining with physicians, pharmacists,nurses, and social workers.

With the advent <strong>of</strong>assessment instruments such as the Multi HealthSystem’s Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i), accuratedata is available to aid in the development <strong>of</strong> emotionalintelligence competences. This assessment identifies anindividual’s EI strengths/weaknesses and gives concretestrategies to develop the EI skills with the support <strong>of</strong> acoach or mentor.Methods: Over an 11-week period during the 1st 6months <strong>of</strong> medical school, EXLI provided EI training for16 1st year medical students and 7 faculty mentors. Thestudents and faculty completed the EQ-i selfassessmentfrom which a personal report wasgenerated. Students participated in 2 didactic trainingsessions, online journaling, and weekly check-ins withmentors to track progress on their self-generated EIgoals.Evaluation Plan: Students and faculty submitted a prepilotquestionnaire exploring their understanding <strong>of</strong>specific EI concepts and terms. The same questionnairewas completed at the conclusion <strong>of</strong> the 11-week pilotand the responses were compared. Throughout the pilotstudents and faculty mentors met for weekly check-ins.Although the results were mixed, several key themesemerged as strengths and areas <strong>of</strong> improvement forfuture years.Dissemination: We intend to present a poster at <strong>UCSF</strong>Education Day, <strong>2013</strong> and distribute the findings to keyfaculty at the <strong>UCSF</strong> Medical <strong>School</strong> Curricular Office.Reflective Critique: EXLI solicited input from studentsand select faculty at the end <strong>of</strong> the pilot via two, inpersongroup debriefs.

Hospitalists will present to trainees andfaculty, emphasizing local resources and updates oninitiatives specific to SFGH and the population it serves.The objective is to improve the quality <strong>of</strong> care providedto patients from admission to discharge, and during caretransitions.Background: The role <strong>of</strong> the hospitalist has expandedto include involvement in patient care, hospital-widequality improvement (QI), and education. Studiesdemonstrate that reduced resident work hours havelimited teaching time. Hospitalists may fill this gap. TheSHM core competencies <strong>of</strong> a hospital medicinecurriculum are divided into three areas: “ClinicalConditions”, “Health Care Systems”, and “Procedures”.Methods: Hospitalists will present clinical and healthsystems topics, within and outside <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong><strong>Medicine</strong>. Presentations will include a case, literaturereview, management guidelines, and local solutions,resources and updates on QI initiatives specific to SFGHand the population it serves. The presentations will beperiodically reviewed to ensure that guidelines arecurrent.Evaluation Plan: Lecture attendees will answerquestions related to the establishment <strong>of</strong> clear goals bythe presenter, adequate preparation, effectivepresentation, how their practice will change as a result <strong>of</strong>the information presented, identification <strong>of</strong> concepts theywill take away from the lecture, and remaining gaps intheir understanding <strong>of</strong> the subject.

Studentsembarked on a QI initiative involving risk-stratification inthe pre-operative clinic. Complementary didacticinstruction accompanied each stage <strong>of</strong> the project.Students reviewed adverse events and observed clinicoperations, constructed a fishbone diagram, developedprocess maps and a failure modes analysis, generatedrecommended patient safety interventions, andsummarized their findings in a written report.Evaluation Plan: Students assigned an average score<strong>of</strong> 4.6/5.0 to the didactic elements <strong>of</strong> the course,exceeding the mean for the didactic components <strong>of</strong>KLIC, and suggesting acceptability. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> QIskills will include: pre/post performance on the QIKnowledge Assessment Test (2) and a QI self-efficacysurvey; self-assessment and a critical reflection exerciseusing a leadership assessment tool developed by theprogram; and feedback on their QI proposal from KLICcourse directors and hospital leaders in April <strong>2013</strong> usingthe QI Proposal Assessment Tool (3).Dissemination: The PuLSE curriculum was presentedat the CLIC Rendezvous meeting and the AAMCMedEdPORTAL Poster Session in 2012.

A common theme thatemerged was the need for a more robust and structuredresident advisory system. We therefore worked tocreate defined roles and expectations for advisors andadvisees. We based our document on the ResidentAdvising Toolkit from Duke (Burgess, Heflin and Woods;Woods et al., 2010).Methods: We created a document that outlines rolesand expectations for both advisors and advisees andprovides suggestions for the content <strong>of</strong> the requiredadvisor meetings each year. Supporting documentsinclude templates for each required meeting which canbe used to document the meetings. We have solicitedfeedback on the documents from faculty and residents,and are currently in the process <strong>of</strong> creating the finaldraft. We plan to introduce the guidelines for use startingin July <strong>2013</strong>.Evaluation Plan: We plan to survey residents andfaculty before and after the implementation <strong>of</strong> theguidelines about their advisory program experience.

Third-year medical students inthe PISCES clerkship move between clinical settings,sites, and specialties while creating learning issuesbased upon their self-identified clinical learning needs.PISCES learners may be ideally suited to leveragemobile technology to support self-directed clinicallearning.Methods: We provided 15 PISCES students with AppleiPads with access to the EMR to track their patientcohort and Evernote, an electronic notebook, fordocumentation and retrieval <strong>of</strong> self-identified clinicallearning issues. Students received a workshop on theiPad and Evernote. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> the program includes:focus groups with the students, student and preceptorsurveys, and evaluation <strong>of</strong> learning issues from PISCESstudents and a control group <strong>of</strong> students in a parallellongitudinal integrated clerkship (n=8) and a historicalcontrol group (n=16).Results: Data from early focus groups suggest variationin iPad usage by students. In initial surveys with itemson a five-point scale (1=strongly disagree, 5=stronglyagree), students reported the iPad was useful[mean=4.3(SD=0.9)), used to capture learning issues[mean=3.2(SD=1.7)], and to reference point <strong>of</strong> careresources [mean=4.6(SD=1.5)]. Portability and facultyperceptions were not reported as barriers to use.Discussion: Mobile devices are ideal platforms forsupporting learning during the clinical years. Early datasuggests high student satisfaction and usage patternswere individual.Reflective Critique: Based on preliminary data, thisproject will focus on improved access to learningmaterials and better methods for tracking learning goingforward.Results <strong>of</strong> the AANS MembershipSurvey <strong>of</strong> Adult Spinal DeformityKnowledge: Impact <strong>of</strong> Training,Practice Experience and Assessment<strong>of</strong> Potential Areas for ImprovedEducationAaron Clark, MD, PhD, <strong>UCSF</strong> Neurosurgery,clarkaar@neurosurg.ucsf.edu; Tyler Koski, MD,Northwestern <strong>University</strong> Feinberg <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong>,tyler.koski@nmff.org; Justin Smith, MD, PhD, <strong>University</strong><strong>of</strong> Virginia, JSS7F@hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu; MichaelRosner, MD, Neurosurgery Service, Walter ReedNational Military Medical CenterMICHAEL.ROSNER@US.ARMY.MIL; ChristopherShaffrey, MD, <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Virginia,CIS8Z@hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu; Paul McCormick, MD,Columbia <strong>University</strong> College <strong>of</strong> Physicians andSurgeons, pcm6@columbia.edu; Christopher Ames, MD,<strong>UCSF</strong> Neurosurgery, amesc@neurosurg.ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: Neurosurgical education<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>California</strong>, <strong>San</strong> Francisco • <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Medicine</strong> 47

Chi-square compared differences based onparticipant demographics (years <strong>of</strong> practice, spinalsurgery fellowship training, percentage <strong>of</strong> practicecomprised by spinal surgery).Results: 1456 neurosurgeons responded. 57% hadpracticed 75% <strong>of</strong> their practice to spine. Overallcorrect answer percentage was 42%. Radiology/spinalpelvic alignment questions had lowest percentagecorrect(38%) while clinical evaluation and surgicalindications questions had highest(44%). >10 years inpractice, spine fellowship, and >75% spine practice wereassociated with overall percentage correct(p10 years in practice was significantly associated withincreased percent correct answers in 4/5 categories.Spine fellowship and >75% spine practice weresignificantly associated with percent correct in all.Interestingly, the highest error was seen in risk forpostoperative coronal imbalance with very low correctresponses(15%) and not better withfellowship(p=0.08,18%).Discussion: This suggests that ASD knowledge couldbe improved in neurosurgery. Knowledge may beaugmented with neurosurgical experience, spinalsurgery fellowships, and spinal specialization.Reflective Critique: Neurosurgical education shouldparticularly focus on radiology/spinal pelvic alignmentespecially pelvic obliquity and coronal imbalance andoperative techniques for ASD.Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Identity Development inHealth Pr<strong>of</strong>essions Students withDisabilitiesCharlie DeVries, MPH, <strong>UCSF</strong>, charlie.devries@ucsf.eduAreas abstract covers: UME: This study covers allhealth pr<strong>of</strong>essions students at <strong>UCSF</strong>Domain(s) addressed: Diversity, Interpr<strong>of</strong>essionalEducation, Pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism, ResearchPurpose: This research will begin to close the criticalgaps in understanding how students with disabilitiesnavigate the topography <strong>of</strong> undergraduate healthpr<strong>of</strong>essions education. Theoretical frameworks will bedeveloped for understanding the specific ways thatdisability affects the understanding and process <strong>of</strong>pr<strong>of</strong>essional identity development processes for healthpr<strong>of</strong>essions students. /Background: Although the Americans with DisabilitiesAct (ADA) passed in 1990 and amended in 2008guarantees accommodations that ‘level the playing field’for students with disabilities (Hafferty & Gibson 2001),and although reports <strong>of</strong> health pr<strong>of</strong>essions students withdisabilities have significantly increased in recent years(Arndt 2003; Dupler et al 2012; Sowers & Smith 2004),there remain many challenges to adequate inclusion andsupport <strong>of</strong> students with disabilities in health pr<strong>of</strong>essionseducation (Carroll 2004; Little 2003; Smith & Allen2011). These continuing challenges lead to the questionposed by Marks in 2005: “When will people withdisabilities have a place in the [health pr<strong>of</strong>essions]?”(70). / / Generally speaking, students with disabilitiesface daily negotiations around physical environment,disabled identities, and non-disabled identities in highereducation (Low 1996). Health pr<strong>of</strong>essions students facevery specific pr<strong>of</strong>essional identity developmentprocesses <strong>of</strong> their own over the course <strong>of</strong> their education(Slotnick 2001), and students with disabilities mustsimultaneously negotiate these personal-pr<strong>of</strong>essionalidentity development processes through the frameworks<strong>of</strong> both their disabled identities and non-disabledidentities (Hafferty & Gibson 2003; Maheady 1999). /Methods: We plan to use a constructivist groundedtheory approach.Results: In progress.Discussion: Once data analysis is completed, theresulting findings will be disseminated as possiblethrough presentation and publication.48 The Haile T.

<strong>UCSF</strong> Education Symposium <strong>2013</strong>Background: As third-year medical students rotatebetween clerkships, they experience multiple transitionsacross workplace cultures and shifting learningexpectations. Most <strong>of</strong> the current literature focuses onthe pre-clerkship to clerkship adjustment, and programsdeveloped to ease this transition. However, students onclerkships undergo transitions constantly, and transitionpoints between rotations are less well characterized.Methods: Students from three VA-based clerkshiprotations participated in a peer-to-peer hand<strong>of</strong>f sessionwhere they described tips for optimizing performance tostudents starting the clerkship they had just completed.We transcribed student comments from four hand<strong>of</strong>fsessions and used qualitative content analysis to identifyand compare advice across clerkships.Results: Students shared advice about workplaceculture, content learning, logistics, and work-life balance.Common themes included expectations <strong>of</strong> the rotation,workplace norms, specific tasks, learning opportunitiesand learning strategies. Comments about patient careand work-life balance were rare. Students emphasizeddifferent themes for each clerkship; for example, forsome clerkships, students commented heavily on tasksand content learning, while in another students focusedon workplace culture and exam preparation.Discussion: These findings characterize some <strong>of</strong> thewidely diverse transitions that third-year studentsundergo as they rotate into new clinical trainingenvironments. Students emphasized different aspects <strong>of</strong>each clerkship in the advice they passed to their peers,and their comments <strong>of</strong>ten describe informal norms oropportunities that <strong>of</strong>ficial clerkship orientations may notaddress. Peer-to-peer hand<strong>of</strong>fs may help easetransitions between clerkships with dissimilar culturesand expectations.Reflective Critique: VALOR clerkship review with theClerkship Studies Steering Committee highlighted thesepeer-peer sessions as highly valuable and worthdisseminating to other programs.
