Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
My academic passion is medical student clinical skills education, including doctor-patient communication, professionalism, physical examination and clinical reasoning. My focus has been primarily on curriculum design and innovation, having helped to develop, and then directed the Continuity of Care Clerkship, an interdisciplinary longitudinal elective for clinical students. I have been instrumental in designing and implementing a new curriculum focusing on clinical skills for pre-clerkship students, as Associate Director of the Practice of Medicine course. I have developed a number of teaching modules and Standardized Patient assessments for the Family Medicine core clerkship and Continuity Clerkship, and have been involved in faculty development for residents and faculty preceptors.
My research focus is on medical student professionalism, interpersonal communication and clinical skills. Current projects include:
Patients as Partners in Education, a McCormick funded project comparing actual patientsÂ’ assessment of studentsÂ’ professionalism and interpersonal skills with standardized patientsÂ’ assessments of the same students
On Camera: Professionalism and Communication Skills Come Alive through Group Video Review of Clinical Encounters
Celebrating the Exceptional: Stories of Exemplary Medical Student Professionalism
Professionalism Challenges: Student Stories from the Family Medicine Outpatient Trenches
Compressed Continuity: Hurry Up and Follow Up. A model for Ambulatory Care Clerkships
Priming the Pump: Use of a Baseline Interview to Potentiate Clinical Skills Self-Reflection for 1st Year Medical Students
