Advising, Coaching, Mentoring: Role Definitions and Implications for Clinical Educators

To adequately support learners, clinical educators need to be able to identify what type of guidance is best suited to the learner’s individual needs—advising, coaching or mentoring. However, there is not a broad understanding of the definitions of these terms, how they differ and in what situations each is most applicable. This workshop will help clinical educators recognize actions and purposes of advising, coaching, and mentoring and how to identify which role is best suited to meet the learner’s needs and capitalize on the educator’s time and skills.

Introduction to Learning Needs Assessment

Conducting a needs assessment is an important step in systematically designing a clinical educational program. This workshop will guide participants through the steps of conducting a needs assessment to better understand their target audience’s needs and align their educational program contents and delivery to meet those needs. Participants will have an opportunity to practice creating a learning needs assessment.

Introduction to Curriculum Development: Laying the Foundation for Systematically Designing Educational Programs

Curriculum development allows educators to take a thoughtful and methodical approach to determine what learners will be required to learn. The curriculum development process systematically organizes what will be taught, who will be taught, and how it will be taught. In this session, we will present an overview of the nuts and bolts of curriculum development, as well as a brief overview of common instructional design models.

Practical Applications of Curriculum Development: Mapping out the Process of Systematically Designing Educational Programs

1

Introductory

1 hour

This workshop builds on Introduction to Curriculum Development course by walking participants through the curriculum design process from start to finish. We break down each component and explain why it matters and how each piece relates to the larger whole. Participants will leave with a curriculum design template they can use as a guide for creating educationally sound workshops and programs on their own.

Psychological Safety: Fostering a Safe Environment for Learner Growth and Development

Introductory LEVEL 1

1 hour

Psychological safety has been a topic of considerable interest in various fields, including health care, over the past two decades. Evidence from empirical studies supports the idea that psychological safety not only matters in relation to quality improvement and patient safety but also in clinical learning environments. This course will provide training on how to foster a psychologically safe environment for learners in clinical settings.

Bedside Teaching

1 hour

1

Introductory

This workshop, taught in tandem with a clinical educator and a curriculum developer, will highlight techniques to create a positive, effective learning experience and offer insights from senior clinical educators about how they implement these techniques in their setting. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their own bedside teaching successes and struggles and collaborate with the session leaders on how to enhance their teaching practice.

Professionalism: Recognizing and Managing Disruptive Behavior in the Clinical Learning Environment

1 hour Introductory

1

Professionalism is the foundation for the social contract between physicians and society. In exchange for the privilege of caring for patients, as well as the status and respect that accompanies that privilege, society expects physicians to practice in a professional and empathetic manner and to self-regulate. The goal of this session is to provide clinical trainees and teaching faculty with a foundational understanding of medical professionalism, explain why it matters in clinical learning environments (CLEs), and give them tools to address unprofessional behavior when it is encountered.

Teaching and Assessing Professionalism in the Clinical Learning Environment

Program Evaluation in Health Professions Education

Professionalism is a core competency of medical residents and fellows (trainees) in residency and fellowship training programs (training programs). Patients, medical societies, and accrediting organizations expect physicians to be professional. Therefore, teaching faculty should be able to identify unprofessional behavior and teach and assess medical professionalism in the clinical learning environment. However, training programs often struggle with educating trainees in the area of professionalism. In addition, there is a general lack of consensus regarding how to define, teach, assess, and remediate trainees who have lapses in professionalism. The purpose of this session is to help teaching faculty identify unprofessional behavior and organize appropriate instruction, assessment methods, and remediation processes for professionalism for their trainees.

In clinical education programs, a program’s worth or merit is often anchored in specific outcomes based on accreditation requirements. This session will guide participants on how to work backwards from accreditation requirements to evaluate one’s program and ensure that it meets the outcomes that have been established.

Introduction to Andragogy: Teaching Adult Learners

Adults do not learn the same way children do. Unfortunately, many medical educators instruct their learners as if they were still in grade school. Developing educational programs in clinical learning environments that are not adapted to adult learning can lead to a lack of learner engagement. The session will explain the definition and origins of adult learning theory, provide a general overview of learning in adulthood, describe how to facilitate adult learning and characteristics.

Introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)

Ever wonder about the efficacy of the active learning techniques you are using in class? This session will introduce the role and importance of educational scholarship in medical education. This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn more about assessing the impact of teaching and learning on their learners through sound research design focused on questions of interest. Participants will be exposed to common methods of data collection and analysis in SoTL. This workshop is primarily designed for people who are new to the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Beyond PowerPoint and Didactics: How to Add Active Learning Using the Flipped Classroom

Active learning is an evidence-based approach to learning that engages learners through activities and discussion, as opposed to more passive forms of teaching such as lectures. The flipped classroom is one approach to active learning—it “flips” the usual classroom dynamic by spending the in-class time on application and discussion rather than information dissemination. This course will show you how to structure a flipped classroom experience and give you ideas for how you can make your teaching more interactive.

Helping Learners Progress Through Feedback and Evaluation

Feedback helps learners know what they are doing well and what they need to work on. Providing effective feedback is a skill, and this course is designed to help participants improve at giving both verbal and written feedback. We will discuss feedback challenges and evidence-based solutions and have opportunities to practice with case scenarios.

Helping Learners Progress Through Feedback and Evaluation: Practical Applications

Understanding how to give effective feedback is an important first step in improving as an educator, but practice is necessary to fully develop this skill. In this workshop, we will briefly review key oral and written feedback principles and focus on applying those concepts using vignettes, role play and narrative revision activities in this interactive workshop. This workshop is a continuation of Helping Learners Progress Through Feedback and Evaluation.

How Others Learn: Experiential Learning and Evidence-Based Teaching Techniques

The clinical learning environment consists of diverse health care professionals, which in turn means that creating effective learning experience should address learners with different educational and training backgrounds. An effective learning environment must acknowledge, value and support learners from varying backgrounds who work together to provide patient care. Therefore, it is essential that educators have a general understanding of how individuals learn and be intentional about creating effective learning environments.

Mitigating Bias in Education and Patient Care

Implicit bias refers to unconscious and unintentional mental associations that impact our understanding and actions. Such biases, when brought to the clinical learning environment, can impact education and patient care. Therefore, it is important for physicians to recognize their own biases in communication and become familiar with strategies to mitigate the effects of bias on effective education and patient care. In this session, we will examine ways to assess and reflect on one’s personal biases and discuss approaches that help to proactively mitigate the effects of personal bias in effective education and patient care.

Tools for Optimizing Learner Attention and Engagement

Is the ever-shortening attention span of our learners a myth? Learn more about the neuroscience behind attention and engagement and how you can create, manage and sustain engaging learning experiences.

Effective Question Asking for Educators

Question asking is one of the simplest and most effective tools educators have to monitor learner understanding and to provoke critical thinking and problem solving. To ask questions effectively, educators need to consider what type of knowledge—facts, comprehension, synthesis, analysis or evaluation—they want the learner to demonstrate and ask questions that will elicit the desired type of knowledge. In this workshop, we will discuss how to use Bloom’s Taxonomy of learner levels to create effective questions in clinical teaching settings and will practice these skills using scenarios. Setting a positive learning environment is key to effective question-asking, and we will identify how ineffective questioning practices can harm the learning environment and detract from learning.

How to Promote Growth Mindset in Learners

Have you ever wondered why some people are able to persist in the face of difficulties and others give up? This workshop will help you understand the role our mindsets play in how we respond to challenges and how we can help our learners develop this crucial skill for lifelong learning.

Academic Integrity

This panel discussion presents case-based instruction in publication ethics, data management, conflicts of interest, and research team dynamics in the context of competing clinical and career pressures faced by residents and fellows. Relevant content experts and institutional stakeholders in academic integrity and GME education serve as panelists to complement the presentation and facilitate a conversational atmosphere with attendees.

Goal Setting for Learners

Knowing how to write effective goals is a necessary skill for lifelong learning. This workshop will show you how to write SMART goals and will help you coach others towards achieving their goals through deliberate practice.

Individualized Learning Plans for Residents

An individualized learning plan (ILP) is a personal learning ‘contract’ that a learner develops based on their own reflection and self-assessment of the goals they want to attain over time. An ILP represents an opportunity for learners to reflect on your personal educational goals, as well as articulate, plan, track and monitor progress through your training program. In this course, we will discuss the components of an ILP and how educators can facilitate the ILP process by helping learners create SMART goals and providing guidance through regular feedback and monitoring.

Receiving Feedback: Effective Strategies for Responding to Feedback

There is a robust literature on best practices for giving feedback, but the learner’s role in this dynamic is often neglected. More recent research on the feedback process recognizes that it is a bidirectional exchange and requires engagement on the part of the learner. This workshop will provide clinical learners strategies to facilitate asking for, responding to, and acting on feedback. It will also describe how self-assessment and developing learning goals can help shape feedback conversations that are more actionable.
