Family Medicine Clerkship Directors' Remediation of Faculty With Mistreatment Concerns: Results From a CERA Clerkship Directors Survey.

Introduction: Little is known about how frequently family medicine (FM) clerkship directors remediate faculty with student mistreatment concerns and their comfort level in performing the remediations. In this exploratory study, we investigated factors associated with the number of faculty remediated for student mistreatment concerns by FM clerkship directors and the comfort level of FM clerkship directors in remediating these faculty.

Methods: Data were collected as part of the 2022 Council of Academic Family Medicine Educational Research Alliance (CERA) survey of FM clerkship directors.

The Effect of Teaching Family Medicine Clerkship Students on Preceptor Productivity.

Introduction: High-quality, experiential learning in outpatient settings is indispensable for medical student education; however these settings are difficult to recruit and retain. The majority of primary care physicians are employed by organizations and are under pressure to increase their relative value unit (RVU) production. Although the common perception that teaching medical students decreases productivity is unproven, it is likely a barrier for primary care physicians pursuing clinical teaching.

Using the Patient Centered Observation Form: Evaluation of an online training program.

Objective: The Patient Centered Observation Form (PCOF) helps trainees identify and describe specific communication skills and enhance self-awareness about skill use. We studied the effectiveness and ease of use of the Improving Communication Assessment Program (ICAP), an online module that prepares trainees to use the PCOF.

Methods: Students, residents and medical educators viewed two videos (common and better skill use) of the same interaction and rated each video using the PCOF.

Barriers to training family medicine residents in community health centers.

Background And Objectives: Training partnerships between family medicine residencies (FMRs) and community health centers (CHCs) are a potential solution to the chronic problem of health workforce shortages in CHCs. We conducted a national survey to identify the barriers to training family medicine residents in CHCs.

Methods: We asked US family medicine residency directors to identify barriers to training residents in CHCs.

Impact of a pre-clinical clinical skills curriculum on student performance in third-year clerkships.

Background: Research on the outcomes of pre-clinical curricula for clinical skills development is needed to assess their influence on medical student performance in clerkships.

Objective: To better understand the impact of a clinical-skills curriculum in the pre-clinical setting on student performance.

Design: We conducted a non-randomized, retrospective, pre-post review of student performance evaluations from 3rd-year clerkships, before and after implementation of a clinical-skills curriculum, the Colleges (2001-2007).
