Utilizing Complexity Leadership Theory to Promote Faculty Mentorship and Resident Leadership.

Objective: To create and evaluate a structured combined faculty mentorship/resident leadership program based on complexity leadership theory.

Design: In 2021, a logic model was used to create a 5 part bi-monthly resident leadership series utilizing administrative, adaptive, and enabling components of complexity leadership theory. Each of the 5 sessions had a nationally prominent senior faculty member mentor 3 junior faculty in creation of an interactive workshop that was delivered to resident physicians during scheduled didactics.

Violence against pregnant women and adverse maternal/ fetal outcomes in the United States: racial/ethnic disparities.

Violence against women is relatively common, and violence during pregnancy is of special concern due to potential risk of maternal and neonatal complications. Previous studies using diagnostic codes to determine prevalence and health outcomes of violence against women used ICD-9 data and lack a standard of consistency. Data from the 2002 to 2018 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used to analyze pregnancy-related hospitalizations of women aged 15-49 years.

Longitudinal outcomes one year following implicit bias training in medical students.

Purpose: Training in implicit bias is broadly recognized as important in medical education and is mandated by some accrediting bodies. This study examined medical students' retention of concepts immediately following and one-year post participation in an implicit bias workshop.

Methods: Study subjects were 272 third-year medical students who participated in workshops held between 2018-2020 that used the Implicit Associations Test (IAT) as a trigger for discussions in small groups.

Enhancing the Teaching Environment: 3-Year Follow-Up of a Residents-as-Teachers Program.

Background: Previous faculty-driven residents-as-teachers (RAT) models have had limited efficacy and sustainability.

Objective: To evaluate the acceptability and effects of a RAT program on resident teaching.

Methods: In October 2016, obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residents at a large academic institution implemented a resident-led RAT program, consisting of a steering committee of peer-selected residents with 2 faculty mentors who planned education-focused resident didactics and journal clubs, organized resident involvement in clerkship activities, and recognized residents who excelled in teaching as Distinguished Educators (DEs).

A Conceptual Model for Residents as Teachers in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Background: The learning environment in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) may have intrinsic differences that require modifying existing resident as teacher models for high-quality teaching.

Objective: To explore medical students' views of resident teaching on the OB/GYN clerkship in order to develop more effective educators.

Methods: Between October 2017 and June 2018, we performed medical student focus groups at the end of the 2-month OB/GYN clerkship.

How to Teach Laboratory Stewardship in the Undergraduate Medical Curriculum?

Objectives: Promotion of high-quality care at a lower cost requires educational initiatives across the continuum of medical education. A needs assessment was performed to inform the design of an educational tool with the goal of teaching laboratory stewardship to medical students.

Methods: The needs assessment consisted of semistructured interviews with core clerkship directors and residency program directors at our institution, a national survey to the Undergraduate Medical Educators Section (UMEDS) of the Association of Pathology Chairs, and a review of existing online resources that teach high-value care.

Use of an Obstetric Balloon for Postabortion Hemorrhage With Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation.

Background: Postabortion hemorrhage occurs in up to 2% of second-trimester pregnancy terminations. Postabortion hemorrhage is the leading cause of postabortion maternal mortality. We report the successful use of an obstetric balloon for second-trimester postabortion hemorrhage complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation.
