Last year's Zoom Recording

Planning and Implementing Your Educational Innovation: Planning the IRB and Your Quantitative Methods

• Consider ethical considerations around establishing trust in medical education and protection of our learners. 
• Consider types of outcomes you can measure and your analytic techniques based on your study design 
• Determine which ethics review category is appropriate for your Institutional Review Board submission, based on your intervention and measured outcomes

Survey Methods: How to Get High Quality Data

This session is designed to help people execute effective surveys by empathizing with survey respondents, writing clear questions, and identifying common patterns in problematic survey responses. It will cover these topics: 1) Should I do a survey? 2) How should I design & deliver my survey? 3) What questions should I ask? and 4) How do I start analyzing my data?
Learning Objectives:

• List key factors in survey design that help achieve high-quality responses and a high response rate.
• Identify common mistakes in question writing that undermine data quality.

Qualitative Methods: How to Analyze Open-Ended Survey Questions

We often gather qualitative data in our surveys, and then wonder "how can I systematically analyze these questions"? In this session, we will explore analytic approaches to qualitative survey data, consider how to themes and/or counts will answer your research questions, and discuss how to apply to your research study. Bring your surveys and medical education ideas as we delve into how to address qualitative survey questions!

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Discuss preliminary analytic considerations
• Describe common analytic approaches to qualitative analysis
• Compare and contrast content and thematic analysis approaches for survey questions
• Practice doing content or thematic analysis

Stories From the Hospital- Lessons Learned

Presenters will present qualitative research findings from interviews with physicians and hospital administrators and present interpretations of the findings

Learning Objectives

• Become aware of current challenges in communication in health care
• Identify areas for improved communication

Expertise and Feedback

Experts have highly efficient bodies of automated knowledge.  There is a strong tendency to rely on automated knowledge, even when it might be better to learn and adapt.  What can we do to help?

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, you will be able to:

• Define qualities of expertise.
• Recognize risks of expertise.
• Distinguish two types of feedback and how to use them.

Best Practices in Competency-Based Assessment

1. Describe the core components of competency-based medical education. 
2. Define entrustable professional activities. 
3. Consider ways to implement best practices in programmatic assessment within your own context.

1. Define feedback and discuss its importance in the clinical learning environment.
2. Describe evidence-based feedback frameworks.
3. Discuss strategies for challenging feedback.

Dissemination Strategies in Medical Education

The session will be interactive to address questions commonly asked about dissemination. They include: How do academics successfully disseminate their products? How do you choose the right platform to disseminate educational scholarship? How come some are very successful and others are not? What resources are needed? How do you determine authorship?

Learning Objective
By the end of this session participants will be able to:

1. Reflect on their own interests and behaviors to plan for dissemination.
2. Explain how to plan for dissemination, make choices and optimize for success.

Bedside Teaching: Enhancing Your Clinical Teaching… While Preserving Efficiency

Clinical teaching has multiple benefits, not only for learners, but also for patients and the educators themselves. Teaching evaluations are often used towards promotion packages. And teaching is a source of professional fulfillment for many of us. However, our busy clinical loads often make this feel like an uphill battle. This session will help you make small adjustments to your teaching style with big results, even when it's busy!

Learning Objective
By the end of this session participants will be able to:

1. Reflect on why we (should) teach at the bedside (and why we don’t)
2. Review examples of really efficient teaching modalities you could implement right away
3. Practice one of these skills here, among friends and colleagues
4. Explore one new bedside teaching resource
