Promotion in Place: A Model for Competency-Based, Time-Variable Graduate Medical Education.

Problem: Competency-based medical education is increasingly regarded as a preferred framework for physician training, but implementation is limited. U.S.

Virtual student experiences: A case study of objectives, outcomes, and anticipated consequences.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most in-person visiting clerkship opportunities have been canceled. Many institutions have developed virtual experiences to fill this void; however, the format and objectives of these experiences are variable. This article describes an education intervention for visiting students where both learner-oriented and program-oriented outcomes of a nonclerkship virtual student experience are explored.

The Impact of Anonymity in Emergency Medicine Morbidity and Mortality Conferences: Findings from a National Survey of Resident Physicians.

Introduction: Although the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education mandates structured case review and discussion as a part of residency training, there remains little guidance on how best to structure these conferences to cultivate a culture of safety, promote learning, and ensure that system-based improvements can be made. We hypothesized that anonymous case discussion was associated with a more effective, and less punitive, morbidity and mortality (M&M) conference. Secondarily, we were interested in determining whether this core structural element was correlated with the culture of safety at an institution.

Anonymity Decreases the Punitive Nature of a Departmental Morbidity and Mortality Conference.

Objectives: We sought to analyze the effect of an anonymous morbidity and mortality (M&M) conference on participants' attitudes toward the educational and punitive nature of the conference. We theorized that an anonymous conference might be more educational, less punitive, and would shift analysis of cases toward systems-based analysis and away from individual cognitive errors.

Methods: We implemented an anonymous M&M conference at an academic emergency medicine program.

A National Cross-Sectional Study of Surgery Residents Who Underreport Duty Hours.

Objective: Previous work demonstrates that many surgery residents underreport duty hours. The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of these residents and better understand why they exceed duty hours.

Design: During the winter of 2015 we conducted an anonymous cross-sectional survey of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education accredited general surgery programs.

Emergency Medicine Morbidity and Mortality Conference and Culture of Safety: The Resident Perspective.

Objective: Morbidity and mortality conference (M&M) is common in emergency medicine (EM) and an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requirement. We aimed to characterize the prevalence of elements of EM M&M conferences that foster a strong culture of safety.

Methods: Emergency medicine residents at 33 programs across the United States were surveyed using questions adapted from a previously tested survey of EM program directors and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Culture of Safety Survey.

A novel mentorship programme for residents integrating academic development, clinical teaching and graduate medical education assessment.

Introduction: Mentorship fosters career development and growth. During residency training, mentorship should support clinical development along with intellectual and academic interests. Reported resident mentoring programmes do not typically include clinical components.

Morbidity and Mortality Conference in Emergency Medicine Residencies and the Culture of Safety.

Introduction: Morbidity and mortality conferences (M+M) are a traditional part of residency training and mandated by the Accreditation Counsel of Graduate Medical Education. This study's objective was to determine the goals, structure, and the prevalence of practices that foster strong safety cultures in the M+Ms of U.S.

Interactive format is favoured in case conference.

Background: Follow-up case presentation (FCP), a staple of emergency medicine residency conference curricula nationwide, has traditionally been delivered using PowerPoint(TM) (PP). The sole use of the PP lecture format may limit audience participation. In light of existing literature supporting chalkboard and morning report formats, we changed FCP to an interactive chalkboard format with limited PP slides.

An Innovative Educational and Mentorship Program for Emergency Medicine Women Residents to Enhance Academic Development and Retention.

Given the discrepancy between men and women's equal rates of medical school matriculation and their rates of academic promotion and leadership role acquisition, the need to provide mentorship and education to women in academic medicine is becoming increasingly recognized. Numerous large-scale programs have been developed to provide support and resources for women's enrichment and retention in academic medicine. Analyses of contributory factors to the aforementioned discrepancy commonly cite insufficient mentoring and role modeling as well as challenges with organizational navigation.

A two-year experience of an integrated simulation residency curriculum.

Background: Human Patient Simulation (HPS) is increasingly used in medical education, but its role in Emergency Medicine (EM) residency education is uncertain.

Study Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the perceived effectiveness of HPS when fully integrated into an EM residency didactic curriculum.

Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional survey performed in 2006, 2 years after the implementation of an integrated simulation curriculum.
