    Sharing Your Scholarship With the World: The Art of Writing and Being Published in Medical Education  (Conv. Center: 8 B)
    Open to All

    Publishing your work in a peer-reviewed journal helps disseminate important findings and ideas to a wide audience. For trainees, publications strengthen residency, fellowship, and job applications. For faculty, they are key criteria for promotion and tenure decisions. Yet most journals receive large numbers of submissions and have low acceptance rates. What can you do to improve your chances of getting accepted?

    This interactive session will include an overview of the peer-review and publication processes. We will focus on writing effective titles, abstracts, and other essential components of scholarly publications. We will offer insights on submitting content to Academic Medicine (and other journals) and consider common reasons for rejection. Participants will apply what they learn in a small-group writing exercise led by experienced authors and editors.

    AAMC Student Surveys  (Conv. Center: 19)
    Open to All

    Medical schools are meeting a wide range of challenges that require the thoughtful and strategic use of resources. Developing strategies for planning and improvement requires access to relevant and useful data and the portfolio of AAMC Student Surveys provides that information about individuals as they progress through the medical education pipeline. The Post-MCAT Questionnaire is administered to all MCAT examinees, assessing MCAT preparation activities and career goals. The Matriculating Student Questionnaire provides information on the preparation, characteristics, and career goals of entering medical students. The Medical School Year Two Questionnaire (Y2Q), administered to all active second-year medical students, assesses students’ adaptation to medical school and their perceptions of the learning environment. The Medical School Graduation Questionnaire (GQ), administered to all graduating medical students, provides students’ overall perceptions and information on their education and residency preparation, specialty choice, career plans, and student debt.

    These annual surveys provide important national benchmarking data and allow schools to improve their self-evaluation activities. In addition, the GQ has been a key data source for schools' accreditation activities with the LCME. The session will review new data from the Y2Q and GQ focusing on learner wellbeing. The session will also discuss improved reporting features.

    The Ethical Practice of Fundraising: Challenges for Senior Leaders  (Conv. Center: 9)
    No margin, no mission, right? Philanthropy is crucial to the success of your institution. But where does that money come from? Are you aware of the complex issues involved in raising money from your grateful patients? Your organization depends on development office staff, leaders in the c-suite, and faculty physicians to navigate challenging ethical questions, such relationship with corporate donors, transparency about patient data and wealth capacity, real or perceived conflicts of interest in donors with business ties to the institution, compliance with Stark Laws, and navigating the delicate conversations with prospects whose gifts may not be accepted by the institution.Grateful patient fundraising can present particularly challenging questions, given the concerns held by some physicians about the acceptability of raising money from patients: from potential harm to the patient/physician relationship to potential violation of patient confidentiality and privacy. Join us for a candid conversation with physicians and fundraisers about the ethical practice in fundraising. Learn about a set of ethical guidelines developed by Johns Hopkins Medicine Philanthropy Institute that might help guide your institution’s thinking around fundraising from grateful patients.

    Learning Objectives:
    •Cite areas of ethical concern to which development officers, physicians, and institutional leadership should be alert.
    •Understand the set of ethical guidelines, relevant specifically to grateful patient fundraising, developed by Johns Hopkins Medicine Philanthropy Institute.
    •Cite peer-presented examples of ethical challenges they have faced and how they were addressed.

    Leveraging Technology to Deliver High-Value Care: A Spotlight on Two National Programs  (Conv. Center: Ballroom BC)
    As health systems make the transition from fee-for-service to value-based payments, new models of care delivery are needed to meet the goals of improved quality and decreased costs. Leveraging technology and the EMR is increasingly important for delivering high-value care. This session will feature presentations on two national programs: the AAMC's Project CORE and Project ECHO. These programs take different approaches to a similar goal: Enhancing care coordination and communication between providers to improve local access to specialty expertise and ensuring high-quality, efficient care for patients. Program leaders will share lessons learned from implementation with a focus on outcomes related to impact on utilization, access, costs, and patient and provider experience. Speakers will make the case for why building and scaling clinical innovations are important steps in supporting the transition to new, value-based models of care delivery.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Discuss efforts to leverage technology as part the transition from fee-for-service to value-based care, including the challenges and opportunities associated with engaging trainees and providers in these models
    • Share lessons learned and outcomes from two national programs designed to improve access to specialty care and patient experience by improving communication and care coordination between providers

    Achieving Health Equity by Legal Intervention: Measuring the Impact of Medical-Legal Partnerships  (Conv. Center: 16)
    Medical schools and teaching hospitals routinely engage in practices focused on improving community health that could have significant, long-term impacts on local health inequities. One such practice is medical-legal partnership (MLP), an approach to health care delivery that combines the expertise of health and legal professionals to identify, address, and prevent health-harming legal needs for patients, clinics, and populations. In 2014, the AAMC established a learning cohort of three AAMC member institutions which aimed to create a body of evidence regarding the impact of MLPs on learners, patients, and institutions. This session will present preliminary findings on the impact MLPs have on patients’ perceived health, UME and GME training on social determinants of health and appropriate screening/referral behaviors, and the cost-effectiveness of the MLP model.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe the history of MLPs and the various models currently used in medical schools and teaching hospitals
    • Understand the benefits and challenges of balancing feasibility and impact when evaluating MLPs
    • Discuss the measured impacts of MLPs on learners, patients, and institutions
    • Identify areas for future research/evaluation of MLPs

    Am I an Imposter? The Potential Impact of Shame & Imposter Syndrome on Well-Being During Transitions  (Conv. Center: Ballroom A)

    Shame is a powerful, ubiquitous emotion that occurs in response to perceived transgressions, including errors and failures to meet expectations. Shame may manifest as self-doubt and imposter syndrome in practicing physicians and medical learners, particularly when they transition into new roles or environments. We seek to create a forum for attendees to explore the transition period as potentially high-risk for shame, imposter syndrome, and emotional distress and to identify strategies for mitigating this risk.

    Engaging Ambulatory Community Faculty to Better Align Educational Expectations with Outcomes  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon H)
    Medical student education has shifted to earlier clinical experiences and increased use of distributed ambulatory settings. In addition, increasing numbers of community-based health systems are developing GME programs. But still, there is a national concern about recruitment and retention of clinician preceptors to provide high-quality educational experiences in community-based practice sites and on regional medical campuses (RMC). Continuing professional development (CPD) and faculty development (FD) interventions have been designed with the intent that the ensuing changes in preceptors’ competence will result in better teaching, clinical practice, and professional role modeling. We as medical educators must do our best to make this happen within the life cycle of community-based faculty. In addition, medical school and health system leadership must value education in the clinical setting, address the current challenges, and ensure high-quality, community-based clinical learning opportunities for all students.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Identify and discuss barriers to improving teaching in the community setting and strategies to address them
    • Discuss innovative FD and CPD interventions designed to address the needs of and challenges confronted by community preceptors

    Evidence-Guided Self-Learning: How to Determine What You Need to Learn/Know/Do!  (Conv. Center: Ballroom EF)
    Best practices in adult learning theory and competency-based medical education (CBME) frameworks embrace the concept that learners must be active participants in their learning. This is true across the medical education continuum, from undergraduate medical education to graduate medical education to continuing professional development. In CBME, the locus of control is shifted away from lectures by expert instructors; instead, learners take responsibility for determining what instruction takes place. Learning in such a framework requires maturity, insight, self-efficacy, and validated information related to a learner’s current knowledge, skills, attitudes, and performance in practice. The latter requires workplace-based assessments as well as performance measures obtained during clinical care or other work-related performance. This session explores the desirable attributes of learners, the critical characteristics of the learning/practice environment, and the types of information needed for individuals in any phase of the continuum to be effective, evidence-guided, self-directed learners.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Distinguish between the terms self-directed learning, directed self-learning, and self-regulated learning
    • Identify sources of data and evidence that support meaningful self-learning

    Academic medical centers (AMCs) face a barrage of challenges in fulfilling the core missions of academic medicine and science. These organizations need a comprehensive strategy to align the missions of academic medicine and science within and between the various entities and elements comprising them. Organizational components of AMCs may have different and competing priorities when supporting the education of the nation’s future physicians, conducting scientific inquiry, and optimizing patient care. In this session, participants will learn techniques for assessing organizational culture and engaging in a strategic planning process that builds or improves the alignment of mission areas across the entities and elements comprising the organization.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Embrace the rationale for “making sense” of organizational culture in the strategic planning process
    • Apply strategic planning tools to one’s own organization and experiences

    Rapid Cycle Continuous Quality and Process Improvement (CQI): Lessons from Combat Casualty Care  (Conv. Center: 17)
    Academic medical institutions operate on the front lines of constant change within their domains of the education, training, and assessment of future physicians; the discovery of biomedical knowledge; and the practice and delivery of care. These changes are often enacted with limited time and resources. In order to provide the highest quality training, research, and patient care, institutions must have the processes and infrastructure in place to enable efficient, effective, and continuous improvements in each of these domains. How can academic medicine increase the speed, efficiency, and effectiveness of change implementation? This session will explore the processes and infrastructure used to enable change on a different and more rapidly evolving front line known as “the delivery of combat casualty care on the battlefield,” and challenge participants to consider implications for academic medicine. Panelists will share their experiences implementing rapid cycle CQI on the battlefield and driving real-time innovations in combat care across military health systems and engage participants in brainstorming and discussion about the barriers and opportunities for leveraging these practices to improve the systems and quality of education, research, and clinical care across medical schools and teaching hospitals.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe processes, infrastructure, and resources that enable efficient, effective, and continuous improvements in education, research, and clinical care
    • Describe the cultural and organizational characteristics needed to drive rapid cycle quality and process improvements across systems

    The Continuum of Sexual Harassment in Science and Medicine: From Postdoctoral Trainees to Faculty  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon JK)
    With the prominence of the silence-breaking #MeToo movement, the nation has reached a tipping point in addressing the issue of sexual harassment in the workplace. Women working in medicine and science have long known this is a problem, but only now are our institutions being forced to address the sexual harassment that exists and recognize the potential dangers for women who work in isolation in the research environment. Tragically, the power and privilege professors have over trainees and junior faculty in the research environment can create a culture that empowers abusers. The session will begin with a review of the report issued by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine on the impact of sexual harassment in academia. The report’s findings reveal information on the extent to which women are victimized by sexual harassment at academic medical centers and in research labs nationwide and how this negatively affects the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Identify how sexual harassment in academia negatively affects the training, recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific and medical careers
    • Identify policy innovations, interventions, and recommendations taken by three institutions in response to sexual harassment in the research environment

    Unhealthy Politics: The Battle over Evidence-Based Medicine  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)

    How do partisanship, polarization and medical authority stand in the way of evidence-based medicine? Brown University Professor Eric Patashnik contends that many common treatments are not grounded in sound science. And efforts to tackle the medical evidence problem and curtail wasteful spending are often undermined by political controversy, patients’ fears, medical society lobbying, and physicians’ efforts to maintain professional autonomy.

    Professor Patashnik explores why the rate at which evidence shapes and improve medical practice is much, much more sluggish than most people realize, and why the government’s efforts to address this important problem have been so modest. Included in the discussion will be data from five national public opinion surveys and a national physician survey conducted over the last decade.

    Professor Patashnik calls on physician leadership not only to practice but also to champion evidence-based medicine. He suggests this will require including greater training and self-awareness, data on peer practitioners and how their practices compare to one’s own, and leaders of medical societies to embrace  science and educate their members about the overtreatment and unwarranted variations, as well as about the problems of undertreatment inadequate care.

    Learning Objectives:
    • By the end of the lecture, attendees will understand the findings of national opinion surveys on the public’s views on proposals to strengthen the evidence base of U.S. medical practice
    • By the end of the lecture, attendees will understand the findings of a national physician survey that explores doctors’ views on how medical societies should respond to scientific debates over the effectiveness of treatments used in their respective practice areas
    • By the end of the lecture, attendees will understand the role of Congress and other US political institutions in efforts to promote the use of comparative effectiveness research to improve the quality and efficiency of U.S. health care

    Speaking Up for Students: How to Recognize and Address Mistreatment by Patients  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon JK)

    Harassment and mistreatment by patients are common experiences in medicine, especially among women and ethnic minorities. At our institutions, students report having witnessed or experienced mistreatment by patients, and a recent national survey suggests that nearly 60% of physicians report having heard biased comments by patients. Such experiences can have a significant psychological impact. Students and faculty alike have expressed the desire for training on how to respond to such encounters in the clinical setting.
    Full Abstract Description

    Learning Objectives:
    • Discuss the prevalence and impact of mistreatment by patients on trainees in the learning environment
    • Describe the role of supervisors and the institution in monitoring and responding to mistreatment of trainees by patients, and identify potential barriers to this process

    Toward Competency-Based Time-Variable Medical Education  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon H)
    The promise of competency-based medical education will not be fully realized until we move beyond advancing learners across the continuum based on the amount of time they spend in a course, clerkship, or program. Time variability is gaining increased attention and evidence is growing to support the efficacy and utility of this innovative model of education. The June 2017 Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Conference on Achieving Competency-Based Time-Variable Health Professions Education explored challenges and opportunities related to competency-based time-variable (CBTV) education and created a set of recommendations. A recent supplement to Academic Medicine was dedicated to this important topic (vol. 93, 3 supp) and reflected the work done at the Macy conference. This session will introduce attendees to the concepts and models of CBTV education. Several leaders in medical education will then share their unique perspectives on the crossroads we face in realizing CBTV models of education. These brief presentations will be followed by a facilitated interactive panel discussion which will allow attendees to have their questions answered about the implications and feasibility of CBVT.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Compare and contrast time-based versus time-variable education in medicine
    • Evaluate the feasibility of CBTV education

    When Robots Take Over Teaching? How VR and AI May Transform Medical Education  (Conv. Center: Ballroom A)
    Many industry conversations consider that robots may soon replace humans in performing basic tasks. In recent trials, IBM Watson can out-diagnose oncologists and radiologists, and certain dermatology apps can diagnose melanoma more accurately than a dermatologist.

    This session provides the opportunity for our community to consider and discuss the impact of these developments on medical education across the continuum of UME, GME, and CME. We will still need to be mentored, taught the art of medicine, and have humanism modeled by humans. If not, what will be the nature of teaching and learning, and what kind of doctors will our programs aim to graduate? What are our learning goals, if machines can diagnose as accurately as a doctor? What is lifelong learning in a context of machines doing the basic knowledge tasks for us? What roles should computers play in medical education, and when is it important for humans to be central to teaching, learning, and assessing?

    Learning Objectives:
    • Define artificial intelligence, machine learning, and virtual reality
    • Explore and critically assess what machine learning, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality can and cannot accomplish

    Taking an Integrated Institutional Approach to the MSPE  (Conv. Center: 19)
    Responsibility for learner development and progression, including matching into a residency program, lies with the whole institution, not with a single department or individual. The same is true of creating the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE), which objectively conveys learner performance and helps put that performance into context. Speakers from key stakeholder groups will share their perspectives on relevant focus areas, including the natural tensions between those who write the MSPE and those who receive and use the MSPE in decision making, the creation of a shared mental model of the MSPE between UME and GME, the mitigation of bias in the MSPE and other evaluation narratives, professionalism, and role-based perspectives on what constitutes relevant and meaningful data about learner performance. Opportunities for focused Q&As will be integrated throughout the session. Speakers will also share effective practices for taking an integrated approach to MSPE development and mitigating bias in compiling the full MSPE and writing its component parts. This session will put the MSPE in context, both as one of many components of a learner’s residency application and one of several opportunities to share learner performance data and create a constructive hand off between medical schools and residency programs.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Discuss effective practices for implementing an integrated medical education and student affairs approach to writing meaningful MSPEs
    • Understand effective practices for mitigating unconscious bias in developing the MSPE and its component elements

    The Economics of Supply and Demand for Year 3 and 4 Clinical Clerkships  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon FG)
    When the looming physician shortage became overwhelmingly apparent, medical schools answered the call to increase their class sizes. Unfortunately, as the number of medical students increased, growth in the number of appropriate third- and fourth-year clerkships has not kept pace, and the supply of clinical experiences hospitals offer remains fixed. Consequently, some schools are beginning to pay hospitals for these training spots. This session will focus on the challenges and options medical schools have to move forward with innovative solutions, and the effect these challenges have on academic medical center relationships.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Create an understanding of the current situation in many states where medical schools are paying hospitals to take their third- and fourth-year students for clerkships

    Professionalism in Medicine and Medical Education in the Age of Social Media and the #MeToo Movement  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon H)
    Professionalism is a concept we think we all know, but given the rise of #MeToo in Medicine, new technology (including social media), and the importance of interprofessional teams, standards of professional behavior are continually evolving. The literature shows both that lapses in professionalism continue to occur and that unprofessional behaviors in medical school are associated with subsequent medical board disciplinary action. This evidence highlights the tremendous opportunity to build on existing scholarship and to provide practical guidance to educators charged with assessing professionalism and remediating lapses thereof. During this session, leaders from across the continuum of medical education will briefly provide practical guidance based on their experiences and expertise. The greater part of the session will constitute an interactive discussion among attendees and panelists on what lapses they are currently seeing, the barriers and impediments to addressing these, the consequences of not addressing unprofessional behavior, resources for those reporting lapses, and best practices.

    Job Roles of the 2025 Medical Educator: Implications for Faculty Development  (Conv. Center: Ballroom EF)
    Are you ready to educate the 21st Century physician? What will success look like for educators in 2025? Six essential job roles for medical educators in 2025 were delineated by participants at the 2017 AAMC Learn, Serve, Lead Annual Meeting. These roles require new skills and competencies that can lead to new opportunities for medical educators. As the emphasis on “teacher as subject matter expert” transforms to the competencies of "content curator", "diagnostic assessor using learning analytics based on performance data" and "learning environment architect", current roles may be diminished while new roles emerge as critical. During this interactive session, we will first review the identified six 2025 medical educator job roles followed by participants exploring the implications of these job roles through the lens of faculty development.
    Full Abstract Description

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe the 2025 medical educator’s job roles, based on hard trends
     •Outline the implications of these job roles through the lens of faculty development (e.g., educator’s identity, growth and skill development)

    Time Variable Competency-Based Medical Education: Practical Lessons From the EPAC Pilot  (Conv. Center: 18)
    Educating pediatricians across the continuum (EPAC) is a pilot initiative of the AAMC designed to create a model of medical education and training that seamlessly spans the undergraduate and graduate continua. This curricular model is designed to test the hypothesis that progression from entrance to medical school to practice can be guided and assessed as a comprehensive medical education program using a time independent competency-based framework. Now in its fifth year, the EPAC program has recently successfully transitioned students to residency in a time-variable manner. This session will allow participants to glean practical lessons learned in implementing time independent competency-based medical education (CBME) at four institutions. Program designers, faculty directors, and trainees will share their experiences with the innovative curriculum in a unique interactive format. Hot topics will be shared during concurrent small group micro-sessions and attendees will rotate between three of the four facilitated micro-sessions.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Discuss lessons learned from EPAC, a CBME model
    • Discuss methods for overcoming feasibility challenges in CBME

    Climate and Culture Across Academic Medicine

    3:15 PM  -  4:30 PM
    Addressing Clinician Well-Being at the Institutional Level  (Conv. Center: Ballroom A)
    Recent investigations have shown escalating burnout rates among a variety of clinician groups leading to personal and professional consequences that negatively impact the provider, the patient, and the optimal function of the health system. While previous efforts have focused on addressing well-being at a personal level, this session will focus on the development and implementation of system-wide initiatives to address physician well-being. A panel of three academic health center leaders with institutional oversight of clinician well-being will share their approaches to establishing meaningful interventions for learners, faculty, and clinical communities. Speakers will focus on stakeholder buy-in, clinician engagement, and intervention implementation and measurement. They will explore organizational approaches that cultivate well-being, including workflow optimization and improving efficiency of practice, developing and maintaining personal resilience, and nurturing a culture of wellness at an academic health center.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe alternative approaches to holistically engage the organization (leadership, faculty, and staff) as partners in development and implementation of well-being improvement activities
    • Analyze models for identifying the wellness needs of a community for the purpose of directing resources where they are most needed
    • Describe activities that foster collaboration across multidisciplinary teams, which also engage clinical, faculty, and health system partners
    • Explain how institutional culture affects the development of wellbeing program and how to initiate relevant culture change
    • Develop strategies to improve institutional wellbeing at home institutions through group discussions and interactions with the panelists

    Networking Within Academic Medicine  (Conv. Center: 9)
    Networking Within Academic Medicine
    Having a knowledgeable and supportive network is critical to the career and personal development of students, residents, and early career academic professionals. Evidence suggests that fewer than half of medical students have a mentor and in some fields of academic medicine, fewer than 20% of faculty had a mentor. Strong networking skills allow individuals to initiate, develop, and maintain rewarding relationships that are meaningful within their desired career paths. A network of mentors can provide guidance on writing and research, information about promotion protocols, or work/life balance.

    For those who are underrepresented and women, networking can be a tool to find community and understand institutional culture. Networking as a skill is often left out of undergraduate and graduate medical education and is often met with a certain level of uncertainty. Individuals are hesitant to network because it is often discussed as a one-sided endeavor that doesn’t add value for all parties involved. This session will highlight the importance of networking in the areas of career and personal development and offer practical skills to conference attendees. The panelists will offer thoughts from their work in career development (for everyone—students, residents, and early academic professionals included) and their personal experiences with networking. In addition, this session will highlight the benefits of connecting with your institution’s alumni to serve as mentors and peers. Examples of alumni and student events and programs led by alumni relations to foster student-alumni networking will be shared.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Understand the importance of a network (made up of mentors and peers) in academic medicine
    • Highlight how networking skills can provide underrepresented individuals and women access to social capital and opportunities

    Strategies to Create an Inclusive Institutional Environment  (Conv. Center: 16)

    Medical schools face a variety of challenges in creating a welcoming institutional environment. This session will provide an overview of methods leaders have used to improve the climate at their institution for students, faculty, and staff of diverse backgrounds. This session will specifically focus on strategies to improve the culture/climate, create a welcoming physical space, and improve faculty retention.

     

    Learning Objectives

    • Describe interventions which have led to improved institutional culture/climate. 
    • Learn institutional practices and policies which can be used to design welcoming, functional spaces for all populations. 
    • Describe institutional practices for promoting faculty engagement and retention.

    Tools or Torture: Enhancing the Value of EHRs for Clinicians and Learners  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon JK)
    Since the passage of the 2009 HITECH Act, there has been a tremendous increase in physician usage of electronic health records (EHRs), with nearly 90% using some form. While there have been well-documented successes and failures of EHR implementation and contributions to patient safety, there has also been significant unanticipated effect on clinician burnout. One way to enhance EHR value is maximize its functionality to facilitate notifications and reminders to patients, identify patients at risk, and enhance decision support. EHRs can also help with expediting creative strategies using data analytics, visualizing data, aligning education more closely with clinical practice, and providing feedback to trainees to improve learning and patient outcomes. Speakers will discuss advances in the development and use of these tools and examples of EHR capabilities that incorporate learning and clinical practice. Through table discussions, audience members will share interventions at their own institutions and report out the best examples with speakers.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Discuss approaches that enhance clinical decision support and learning
    • Discuss the barriers and potential solutions to learners’ interactions with the EHR and approaches that promote learning, efficient workflows, and high-quality care

    Voices of Medicine and Society and Lecture Series

    3:15 PM  -  4:30 PM
    No Apparent Distress: A Doctor’s Coming-of-Age on the Front Lines of American Medicine  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)
    Resident-physician Rachel Pearson strongly believes medicine should not entrench poverty, inequality, or bias; it can and should be a force for justice and human flourishing. Pearson professes that by reclaiming the medical profession’s humanist identity, we can lead a generation of providers who will push the arc of medicine towards justice. An accomplished writer and storyteller, Pearson’s No Apparent Distress begins with a mistake she made while volunteering at a student-run free clinic. It was a simple mistake, but it affected a Black, homeless patient who was in pain from a cancer they were not able to diagnose. Ultimately, he died of this cancer. Pearson questions how could she have cared for him better? She wonders why was it that over and over during her medical school years in Texas—and within in public hospitals, prisons, border clinics, and free clinics—the patients on whom she trained were disenfranchised people? These questions led Pearson to write No Apparent Distress which, she hopes, serves as a kind of moral map for medical students who aim to become forces of justice and supporters of human flourishing within our imperfect medical system.

    Pearson believes that as physicians dream of and fight for better care for the most vulnerable patients, they have a duty to ensure that our educational system cultivates humanist physicians—doctors animated by a contemporary humanist urge that harkens back to John Donne:any person’s suffering diminishes me, because I am involved in humankind.

    Learning Objectives:
    •Identify how injustice in medicine and health affects medical trainee identity-formation, and intervene to support justice-minded medical trainees trust
    •Align with fellow advocates to support systems-level change not only as allies of suffering patients, but as fellow humans with a vested personal interest in social justice
    •Describe some of the moral links between Renaissance Humanism and contemporary medical practice
    •Articulate a coherent moral framework for medical practice as not only a practice of humanism, but one that aims at justice for all embodied people

    Exploring the Effects of Mergers, Acquisitions, and Partnerships on Academic Medicine  (Conv. Center: 6)
    Since the 2010 passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), there has been an increase in hospital merger and acquisition activity. In recent years, academic medical centers (AMCs) and teaching hospitals have been involved in some form of merger, acquisition, and partnership (MAP). As we look to the future of academic medicine, it is important to understand how MAP activity affects our institutions and the communities we serve. In this session, attendees will obtain insights from a panel of academic medicine leaders and explore their experiences in addressing academics, communications, and culture during their institution’s MAP activity.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Recognize the effects of MAP activity on the critical mission areas of AMCs

    Learning From Our Mistakes  (Conv. Center: 19)
    We’ve all tried things that didn’t work. We enthusiastically introduced a flipped classroom format that the learners didn’t flip over. We carefully crafted research projects only to realize that the hypothesis or research question was inadequate. We implemented new assessment strategies that generated lots of data but left us with little insight into student performance. We’ve all been there. However, negative findings are rarely reported in academic journals and there appears to be an implicit rule in medical education that one does not admit “failure.” Yet it is often our less successful ventures that lead to in-depth understanding of a phenomenon or a way forward. Indeed, sometimes our mistakes are more informative than our successes. In this session, we will share stories of mistakes and surprises from across medical education and training contexts to illustrate how these so-called failures underpinned learning and progress. We will use interactive presentation software to engage with the audience and to elicit and explore common surprises, failures, and experiences. We will discuss our findings in relation to the dominant culture and discourses within medical education and training and provide guidance on the ways individuals and teams can reposition “failures” and “surprises” as opportunities for constructive learning.

    Learning Objective:
    • Reflect on and accept that there is often a lot to be learned when things don’t go to plan

    Necessary but Insufficient: Health System Science Education Demands Professional Development  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon JK)
    Health care transformation requires health system members to function and think differently, necessitating new skills. To align with these changes, undergraduate and graduate medical education institutions are including new competencies in health systems science, a discipline incorporating value and improvement in health care, safety, population health, and teamwork. A barrier to expanding this training is the lack of faculty expertise. Building upon innovations from several medical schools, we will explore the issue of faculty development.
    Full Description

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe the gaps in training and competencies of today’s faculty with respect to health system science–related competencies
    • Develop ideas for faculty development that optimize the clinical learning environment to support trainee education in patient safety, QI, IPE, social determinants of health, and population health

    The Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Collaborative: Introducing New Competencies  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon H)
    Over the past decade, education and training in quality improvement and patient safety (QIPS) has increased significantly at the medical school, residency, and practice levels. However, these efforts have not been aligned or coordinated in a developmental fashion across the continuum of medical education. This session will provide the results of a longitudinal collaborative effort by a diverse working group and their numerous stakeholder collaborators. Attendees will learn the foundational competencies expected of entering residents, entering faculty, and experienced attending physicians and clinician preceptors regardless of specialty. They will also understand how these can be used to inform curricular design for UME, GME, and CME programs and how these competencies can build across the continuum of training. The results of the collaborative will be shared, followed by a small group activity that invites attendees to consider how these can be integrated within their local curricula.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe the new QIPS competencies for students, residents, and faculty
    • Consider ways to integrate these competencies at the local level for teaching and assessment

    Consulting Engagements: How to Get Value for Money  (Conv. Center: 12)
    Every medical school has a few stories of consulting engagements that delivered nothing but a boiler plate, generic report that cost more than budgeted and took a very long time to compile only to never be looked at again after the consultants left. Nevertheless, we keep hiring consultants to help us with everything from strategic planning to funds flow redesign, only to repeat the same cycle over again. In this session, we’ll explore approaches to selecting a consulting firm and ensuring that the project will be staffed with consultants who have relevant experience and are not learning on the job. We will review concrete examples of best practices that set and manage the scope of the engagement, while controlling the cost and the timeline. Lastly, we’ll describe how to make sure that the deliverables meet the specific needs of your institution while providing a clear and actionable path forward.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Understand how strategic partnerships with consulting firms can help the organization be successful in its academic mission
    • Review ways to effectively manage consultants and ensure they deliver value for your institution within budget and on time

    Advancing Strategies to Increase American Indian and Alaska Native Engagement  (Conv. Center: 17)
    Data from the past 15 years show that the numbers of American Indians and Alaska Natives in medicine have not increased significantly, yet this issue has received limited national attention. The predicted physician shortages and persistent health and health care disparities that disproportionately affect Native communities have complicated the matter further. Academic medicine has an important role in attracting and training more Native physicians and integrating Native health into the curriculum so that all physicians are prepared to provide culturally responsive care. There are a number of medical schools that have contributed significantly to increasing American Indian and Alaska Native students and offer learning opportunities for all medical students. However, more institutions are needed to replicate what works best to attract and support Native students. This session will showcase premedical initiatives, curricular efforts, and institutional policies and practices that may be adopted by other institutions.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe the barriers and facilitators to increasing engagement of American Indians and Alaska Natives in medicine starting at the premedical level
    • Compare effective institutional strategies to increase American Indian and Alaska Native engagement in medicine and to integrate American Indian and Alaska Native health into the curriculum

    In Shock: Lessons from Personal Critical Illness and Recovery  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)
    In 2008 and coinciding with the end of her medical training, Dr. Rana Awdish nearly died by effectively bleeding to death in her own hospital. Through this harrowing experience, she came to understand “the fatal flaws” of being a physician and the vast chasm between the conventional practice of medicine and the realities of a patient’s perspective.

    Throughout her illness, she observed how unintentional language can further alienate the patient from the physician and how doctors often master the art of disconnection.

    Inspired by her memoir In Shock, Dr. Awdish's presentation centers on the importance of compassion in medicine and the power of connection.

    Now, with the journey of being a patient as the crux of her philosophy of care, Dr. Awdish will discuss issues that create barriers to ideal care, including issues within medical training. As part of this session, she will also detail The CLEAR curriculum that has been developed at Henry Ford Hospital (CLEAR: Connect, Listen, Empathize, Align, Respect) to narrow the chasm between doctor and patient.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Learner will have an understanding of how medical training shapes physicians
    • Participants will be able to define changes needed in training
    • Participants will be able to understand the role of onboarding in culture change
    • Participants will begin to consider what it takes to create resilient systems to support their people

    Population health . . . it’s the new term heard everywhere, from the boardroom to the break room. And then there’s the data . . . reams of data! What does all this mean to medical education and the future of health care? What exactly are clinicians supposed to do with these data? In response to rising U.S. health care expenditures and lagging population health outcomes, academic medical centers (AMCs) have been employing innovative models in education, patient care, and research to improve health care delivery and quality. In a panel interview discussion, senior population health leaders at AMCs will outline how academic medicine has historically engaged public and private entities to address population health needs. They will also identify opportunities to further cultivate a population health environment that advances health equity through institutional leadership roles, information technology, and multidisciplinary partnerships.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Define population health and population health management and how academic medicine has been traditionally involved

    Effects of GME on Improving Quality of Care: A Quest for Designing Meaningful GME Outcomes Metrics  (Conv. Center: 16)

    There is increasing evidence that the clinical learning environment affects the quality of resident training. Residents are also actively influencing health care quality not only through providing direct patient care, but also through engaging in quality improvement (QI), team-based care, and patient safety (PS) initiatives at their institutions. Although there are data through various national accreditation and regulatory organizations on physicians’ educational competencies, there is limited information on standardized assessment of the effects of individuals, programs, or institutions on society. Recently, there has been interest in exploring characteristics and outcome metrics that may identify programs that are best in class. This session will explore several key areas—metrics currently collected and analyzed, the effects of GME on institutional QI strategies and patient care outcomes, alignment of GME program-specific aims with health care value-based metrics, and more.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Highlight the need of establishing meaningful GME outcome measures
    • Understand the importance of the practice environment on quality of resident training

    Increasing Access and Inclusion for Learners With Disabilities  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon JK)
    Disability is a nuanced, poorly understood, and often charged dimension of diversity. Recent guidance from the AAMC report Accessibility, Inclusion, and Action in Medical Education: Lived Experiences of Learners and Physicians With Disabilities sheds light on the supports and barriers present in undergraduate medical education (UME) and graduate medical education (GME) as well as considerations for medical education programs to improve institutional practice. Using multiple case studies, the panel will review the legal mandates for disability determination and the process for determining reasonable accommodations. Through these case studies, the panel will address the tough questions administrators face when moving toward disability inclusion such as the institutional requirements for confidentiality (e.g., reporting disability to preceptors, patient populations, and residency programs, including restrictions on the MSPE), the reasonable nature of accommodations, adjustments to programs, and the interplay of professionalism and competency through the lens of disability. This session uses a case-based 360-perspective of the disability experience from the patient, learner, faculty, diversity officer, disability services provider, and dean.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Understand the applicable federal law (the ADA) that regulates disability inclusion and the provision of accommodations in UME and GME
    • Apply knowledge of federal regulations regarding patient safety to assess complicated cases involving learners with disabilities where administrators express concern regarding patient safety

    Sustaining Your Institution’s Reputation During Crisis  (Conv. Center: Ballroom BC)

    On any given day and for many different reasons institutions face crises that threaten their reputations. Public trust and standing within our communities are critical to an academic health center ability to deliver across its mission areas. When a reputational crisis occurs, professionals from across the institution can work together internally and publicly to address the cause of the crisis and communicate transparently on campus and beyond. It is possible that an institution can emerge stronger than before if lessons learned are applied. During this session, attendees will gain insights from leaders who have lead their institutions through reputational crises.

    Learning Objectives:
    •Recognize the dimensions of reputational crises affecting academic medical centers
    •Understand the necessary interaction among campus leadership to successfully addressing reputational crises

    Mitigating Bias and Enhancing Diversity in Admissions and Selection  (Conv. Center: 9)
    In the era of mission-based admissions, broadly defined diversity has been the topic of discussion for many. Yet, despite sustained holistic admission practices, racial and ethnic diversity lags behind other diversity markers. Although there is broad support for using holistic review across the continuum, there are substantive differences in the recruitment processes for UME and GME. What UME lessons can be practically applied to GME? Though the GME pipeline can’t increase beyond the graduates of MD- and DO-granting schools, what unique GME features can foster creative solutions? Certain medical schools, GME programs, and sponsoring institutions have successfully enhanced diversity and inclusion with promising practices such as second-look weekends for underrepresented candidates, increasing the diversity of individuals completing visiting rotations at a program, diverse medical students and residents volunteering to reach out to diverse applicants, marketing at underrepresented student conferences, and many others. However, it is also important to confront the biases that can undermine diversity strategies. This session will discuss current and future strategies to enhance diversity and inclusion and mitigate bias in UME admissions and GME selection.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Compare UME and GME admission practices, applicant pools, legal policies, and diversity recruiting strategies
    • Contrast the different categories used to describe race, ethnicity, and gender across the ACGME, AAMC, and AMA and when and how an individual is identified

    What Really Matters at the End of Life: Rethinking How We Approach Our Patients, Disease, and Dying  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)

    BJ Miller knows a thing or two about caring for patients as well as being a patient. A triple-amputee and Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California San Francisco, Dr. Miller has a passion for patient-centered care, palliative and end-of-life care.

    Too often in training and in practice, physicians focus on the disease rather than the patient. And, some of this stems from the innate desire to “fix” things and a view that dying from a disease is a failure on the part of the caregiver and the patient. BJ Miller reminds us that people have been dying for a long time, but society outsourced death and medicine picked it up.

    With a little bit of effort, Dr. Miller professes that we can reclaim the humanity of the subject of dying, uptick the importance of joy and meaning and relationship, and at the same time free up the health care system to work within the realm of the possible. We should all share in the burden and privilege of caring for one another through life's most vulnerable and poignant moments. Physicians can learn from their patients, and rich and rewarding interactions can happen when a physician and a patient face a crisis together.

    How Recent Legislative and Regulatory Changes Within the VA Will Impact VA-Academic Affiliations  (Conv. Center: 19)
    Over the last year, Congress and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) have worked in tandem to improve the health care of our nation’s veterans. On Capitol Hill, Congress worked to pass legislation to improve the Veterans Choice Program, including establishing VA contracts for clinical care in the community and physician recruitment incentives such as scholarships for medical students and loan repayment for medical residents. Meanwhile, the VA has worked to improve local relationships with academic affiliates by, for example, developing new contracting and licensing guidelines. Come learn about recent legislative and regulatory changes affecting VA-academic affiliate relationships and how the VA is implementing those changes. Discuss how best to navigate the changes and improve your institution’s relationship with the VA by engaging with agency staff.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Understand recent legislative changes to the Veterans Choice Program and their impact on undergraduate, graduate medical education, physician recruitment, contracting and clinical care at your institution

    Learning Amid Disruptions: Exploring Learning Experiences in Challenging Circumstances  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon JK)
    At times during undergraduate and graduate medical training, learners experience challenging circumstances that can disrupt their education. Some recent examples include natural disasters (hurricanes, wild fires, flooding), civil unrest, and mass casualty events. Educational programs must protect their learners during such events. Educators and learners also strive to focus on the educational value of these experiences, and in response, learners may deliver aid that is appropriate to their level of training. This session focuses on learners’ experiences in a variety of crises and how they and their faculty transformed these disruptions into educational experiences. In this session, attendees with learn how the learners incorporated their experiences into their education, what preparation occurred that enabled faculty and leadership to support the transformation of crises into learning opportunities, how such experiences can inform future curricula and training, and what practical lessons were learned that can strengthen the clinical learning environment. The session employs a panel and case study design.

    Primum Non Nocere: What Medical Education Can Do to Tackle the Opioid Epidemic  (Conv. Center: 17)
    Drug overdoses are rapidly increasing as the leading cause of cause of death due to non-intentional injury and the leading cause of mortality for Americans under 50. Between 1999 and 2015 more people died than the population of Atlanta, responsible for more deaths than gun or motor vehicle accidents, and outpace the peak of deaths during the H. I. V. epidemic. In 2015, nearly 2/3 of drug overdoses were linked to opioids. Enough medications are prescribed in one year for each American on average to use three weeks of opioids. Rates have quadruped with aggressive pharmaceutical prescribing patterns, pain was promoted as the “5th vital sign”, and national patient satisfaction quality measures included pain control in patient satisfaction. Opioid naïve patients become chronic users and unused medication becomes target for misuse and diversion. It is imperative that academic medicine bring the full weight of its expertise, leadership, considerable relevant assets to address this problem in partnership with community stakeholders and patient advocates. This session will share the many steps the AAMC is taking to support its members in this challenge. It will also include educators from members schools and hospitals that have adapted their curricula to address the complexity of this national epidemic.

    Learning Objectives:
    •Cite the impact the opioid epidemic is currently having on our patients, families and healthcare professionals
    •Describe the multiple ways the AAMC is acting to support its members in fighting the epidemic

    Seeing With One’s Own Eyes: Patient Experience Through the Lens of Film  (Conv. Center: 6)
    Going beyond the two-dimensional frame, filmmakers are concerned with capturing the essence of human lives and conveying real-world experiences imaginatively and expressionistically. They use the medium to explore sensitive, often controversial topics, such as the AIDS crisis or women’s evolving relationship with modern medicine. One compelling subject for this type of filmmaking is the patient experience. “”For medical students, residents, and even faculty, this perspective can be especially valuable. Using example film clips, an expert panel will describe the history, contemporary relevance, and use of patient-centered films in medical school curricula. The session will include speakers a guided group discussion using a sample film clip.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Use film in curricula to foster empathy and improve medical student visual literacy and communication skills
    • Demonstrate how film can be a tool for patient self-expression

    Creating Zero Tolerance: Institutional Policies to Confront Biased Patients  (Conv. Center: Ballroom A)
    Academic health centers have recently seen an increase in racist or sexist comments, requests to be seen by different providers, or even physical harm, all coming from patients. The proliferation of these behaviors may be the result of patients’ perceived identities of physicians and an increased acceptance of explicit bias. It has also given academic health centers (ACHs) given pause to consider how to handle such behavior when providing care to the communities they serve. How do ACHs enforce a zero-tolerance policy for biased patients? This session will explore the ways hospitals are reevaluating or updating their policies to protect both patients and providers in light of these biased-patient experiences. Using faculty, administrators, ethicists, and legal resources, this session will facilitate a conversation about the challenges of addressing biased patients and highlight those institutions that have risen to those challenges.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Recognize the types and rates of incidence of biased behaviors providers experience at AHCs
    • Learn from other institutions that are making changes to their policies to combat biased behavior
    • Understand the legal and ethical ramifications of caring for biased patients and the responsibilities the institution has to patients as well as protection and safety for providers

    Shattering the Glass Ceiling: Women of Color Administrators in Academic Medicine  (Conv. Center: 12)
    As the number of women entering U.S. medical schools increases, the opportunity for achieving gender balance in medical school faculty and administration should also increase. A 2016 study of women of color in academic medicine revealed the “ongoing need to develop and foster programs and sponsorship opportunities to prepare women of color for academic promotion and leadership.” In response, the AAMC launched the Women of Color Task Force to develop and lead projects that will address the intersection of sex and race in academic medicine. The Women Faculty of Color Toolkit presentations reflect this important work and underscore the complexities faced by women of color in academic medicine, complexities that can increase exponentially under the weight of an administrative role. Using a mentoring model, this session will feature four women of color administrators who will discuss their career trajectories and share lessons learned along the way.

    No One Cares about Crazy People: The Chaos and Heartbreak of Mental Health in America  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)
    While there seems to be a greater societal recognition of the severity and frequency of mental illness and its diagnoses, the lack of funding, resources, and unified efforts to tackle mental illness still lag. Every physician has encountered patients with mental illness, but how much do we really know about the current state of mental health in our nation and how policies seeking to solve issues may have done just the opposite?

    Ron Powers is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author, He co-authored Flags of our Fathers, and wrote True Compass and both Mark Twain: A Life. But, his most recent book, No One Cares about Crazy People: The Chaos and Heartbreak of Mental Health in America, offers a searching, rich narrative of the social history of mental illness in America paired with Powers’ deeply personal story of his two sons' battles with schizophrenia. From the centuries of torture of "lunatiks" at Bedlam Asylum to the current mental health landscape, Powers delineates our fears and myths about mental illness and the fractured public policies that have resulted. Braided with that history is the moving story of Powers' beloved son Kevin--spirited, endearing, and gifted--who triumphed even while suffering from schizophrenia until finally he did not, and the story of his courageous surviving son Dean, who is also schizophrenic.

    Science in Health and Health Care

    10:30 AM  -  11:45 AM
    Achieving Health Equity through Research: Innovations From NIMHD-Funded Science  (Conv. Center: 18)
    The mission of the NIH’s National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) is to lead scientific research to improve minority health and reduce health disparities. By supporting investigators’ efforts to identify, understand, and intervene on unjust and avoidable differences in population health, NIMHD aims to build the evidence base that will lead our nation and its communities toward health and health care equity. Session attendees will learn more about NIMHD’s vision, strategic priorities, and funding mechanisms from its director, Eliseo Pérez-Stable, MD. Two NIMHD-funded investigators who are leading innovative and meaningful research programs will describe how their projects hold promise to improve the health of all while reducing inequities. Mona Fouad, MD, will discuss the Mid-South Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center for Health Disparities Research (Mid-South TCC), which seeks to reduce the disparities in chronic disease burden experienced by African Americans in six Mid-South states with the ultimate goal of addressing the social determinants that interplay to impact a person’s health and produce disparate health outcomes for minority populations. The NIMHD-funded science of Esteban Burchard, MD, seeks to understand the genetic basis of racial and ethnic differences in asthma severity and lung function to inform public health policy and clinical practice and to aide in the mechanistic understanding of asthma severity, which may lead to more targeted therapies.

    Capturing Educational Data to Advance Medical Education  (Conv. Center: Ballroom G)
    With changes in LCME accreditation standards, curricular innovations, and advances in data analytics reporting, there is an increase in the number of schools collecting and analyzing large scale educational data, from basic assessment to more advanced curriculum and program evaluation. As the environment changes, questions about the definitions, handling, and sharing of educational data are on the rise. In this session leaders in medical education and analytics will discuss how they define, capture, and act on “educational data”. Speakers will also discuss ongoing challenges (e.g., privacy, interoperability) and potential solutions. This session will also provide learnings from more than a dozen in-depth interviews with member institutions investigating educational data programs. This will include how they make decisions about which data to collect, how they are acting on collected data, the resources they use to manage and analyze data, and the top challenges they face in working with data.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe reasons for capturing and acting on different sets of educational data to inform institutional decision-making processes.
    • Illustrate national trends on the collection, governance, analysis, and sharing of educational data.

    Incorporating Workplace-Based Assessments Into a Core EPA-Oriented Curriculum  (Conv. Center: Ballroom EF)
    Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) represent the tasks a physician performs in the workplace. An EPA-based curriculum must therefore incorporate workplace-based assessments (WBA) to facilitate a learner’s progression toward entrustment. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss principles, methods, and practical approaches for creating a WBA strategy for the Core EPAs. The perspective of multiple stakeholders (i.e., educational leaders, faculty, and learners) will be addressed throughout. Specific focus will be placed on using mobile-friendly technology for evaluating learners, rendering ad hoc entrustment decisions in the clinical learning environment, and using technology-based ePortfolios and dashboards for collecting and interpreting data. The session will begin with an overview detailing the principles of direct observation, WBA, supervisory scales, and entrustment decisions. Facilitators will then discuss bringing these concepts together to develop a WBA strategy for the EPAs. In small groups, participants will discuss methods for developing such an assessment strategy at their home institutions. Incorporated within these discussions will be considerations for how EPA-based WBA may be considered through the lens of learners, clinical supervisors, and educational leaders. Facilitators will conclude the session by providing examples of how they have incorporated mobile-friendly WBAs into their respective institutions and how these assessments tie into ePortfolios and entrustment decisions.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe the value of incorporating WBAs into an EPA-oriented curriculum
    • Compare and contrast strategies required to incorporate institutional leaders, clinical supervisors, and learners into the development and implementation of a Core EPA-oriented WBA strategy

    Models for Assessing the Outcomes and Impacts of Premedical Initiatives to Increase Diversity  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon H)
    Every medical school plans and implements premedical initiatives as part of its strategy to increase the representation of medical students from diverse backgrounds. High-quality premedical programs have been found to have positive short-term effects (encouraging underrepresented students interest in health care careers) and long-term effects (diversifying medical student recruitment and the health care workforce). LCME Standard 3.3 underscores the importance of such programs in developing a more diverse and inclusive learning community. Yet premedical program outcomes and impact data are often not available due to limited resources or time committed to program evaluation. This session will highlight evaluation methods and strategies that can demonstrate the value of premedical programs to leaders and decision makers. Table topic discussions will be facilitated to enhance peer learning.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Describe the institutional barriers and facilitators to funding and implementing rigorous evaluation of premedical programs
    • Identify successful evaluation techniques and implementation approaches for premedical programs

    Voices of Medicine and Society and Lecture Series

    10:30 AM  -  11:45 AM
    What Patients Say, What Doctors Hear  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)
    Despite modern medicine’s infatuation with high-tech gadgetry, the single most powerful diagnostic tool in the medical armamentarium is the doctor-patient conversation. This deceptively simple tool can achieve the lion’s share of medical diagnosis. However, what patients say and what doctors hear (and vice versa) are often two vastly different things.

    Patients, anxious to convey their symptoms, feel an urgency to "make their case" to their doctors. Doctors, under pressure to be efficient, multitask while patients speak and often miss the key elements. Add in stereotypes, unconscious bias, conflicting agendas, and fear of lawsuits and the risk of misdiagnosis and medical errors multiplies. Join Dr. Danielle Ofri, a frequent contributor to the New York Times and the author of a collection of books about the world of medicine, as she examines whether refocusing the doctor-patient conversation can lead to better health outcomes.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Understand the elements of good communication
    • Discuss how both physician and patients contribute to breakdowns in communication
    • Explore ways that better communication might improve health outcomes

    Vitality of Academic Medicine

    1:15 PM  -  2:30 PM
    Proactive Wellness and Resilience Strategies in the Clinical Years  (Conv. Center: Ballroom A)
    Promoting wellness and resilience is a topic of concern for both learners and educators. Students at every level experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Medical schools are recognizing the importance of wellness and creating programs to address the needs of students. However, many programs target the preclinical years or fail to consider the different challenges faced by clinical students and/or residents (i.e., stigma attached to seeking mental health treatment). A study from Albert Einstein College of Medicine documented a significant increase in the proportion of students at risk for depression in their third year of medical school when compared with the first year of medical school. Wellness programs that consider the different stages of medical school education better serve the needs of students. This session will highlight institutions that have 1) designed wellness programs for clinical students, 2) implemented holistic wellness programs that have specific adaptations for clinical students, or 3) established programs with robust mental health treatment for students and residents. Throughout this session, we also want to have the opportunity to discuss how underrepresented and LGBTQ+ students navigate these wellness programs and how interventions focused on harassment prevention and cultural competence are important to resilience training.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Discuss the importance of creating wellness programs that extend into the clinical training and contribute to the formation of professional identity
    • Identify strategies for establishing a continuum of wellness by curriculum innovation, faculty development, and institutional programming initiatives

    Texas Partnerships as Models for the Future  (Conv. Center: 12)
    The healthcare needs in Texas are a reflection of what’s coming to the nation as a whole: in a state this size, diverse and dispersed, we’re not just thinking about future issues, we’re actively dealing with all of them on a daily basis. This complexity extends beyond the limitations of any one institution—or any single solution. However, two public/private alliances are proving that joining forces can create the necessary breadth, depth and reach to have a larger impact on improving the health of all Texans. Texas Health Resources, a faith-based non-profit, teamed with premier academic medical center UT Southwestern Medical Center. Tennessee-based Ardent Health Services, an acute-care provider with 31 hospitals in 6 states, connected with University of Texas Health Science Center Tyler (UTHSCT), a primary and specialty care center in a mostly rural area, to form UT Health East Texas, the new Health System. This public-private partnership has the ability to meaningfully impact and improve the health of those served through innovative value-based integration. It’s workable, repeatable, and adaptable to other states as well—a possible paradigm for the future of healthcare.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Learn about the collaborative work underway in Texas to lower the cost of health care
    • Identify strategies applicable to participants’ academic medical centers

    Learning From and With Other Professions: IPE as a Driver of Culture Change  (Hilton: Austin Grand Salon FG)
    As our understanding and knowledge of interprofessional education (IPE) and collaborative practice have evolved, we know that creating meaningful experiences requires more than simply bringing students from different professions together and putting them in the same room. Also required is an understanding of the different professional cultures, including the history of the professions, strategies for creating relevant learning experiences, and appropriate assessment methods. IPE represents an opportunity for culture change—faculty and learners from medical and other professional schools collaborate to design, implement, and evaluate curricula. During this session, experienced educators will discuss their local IPE experiences and how they changed the culture at their universities. This session will begin with an introduction and overview of the evolution of IPE and followed by health professions educators who will share how they successfully designed and implemented IPE experiences and their strategies for effective integration of team-based collaborative learning. Attendees will then participate in an interactive exercise on how IPE can serve as a driver for culture change.

    Learning Objectives:

    Behavioral Economics to Improve Health and Health Care  (Conv. Center: 6)
    The final common pathway of nearly every part of health care is human behavior. Even the most effective drug is useless if physicians don’t prescribe it or patients don’t take it. And yet for centuries most approaches to changing physician and patient behavior have relied principally on education. But most patients already know they should take their medication and know they shouldn’t smoke. It typically takes more than education to change behavior Behavioral economics is a relatively new field that combines insights from psychology and economics to make use of the predictable errors in our judgment—the errors that lead us to overeat when we want to lose weight, or fail to save enough for retirement, or not take our antihypertensives even when we desperately wish to avoid a stroke. Techniques of behavioral economics, including careful use of ‘nudges,’ and financial and social incentives, are now being applied in health care settings at clinicians and at patients—all with the aim of improving health outcomes.

    To Leave or Not to Leave: A Conversation for Leaders About Leave Policies in Medical Training  (Conv. Center: 18)
    A number of physicians plan on having a child during the strenuous time of medical training. In one investigation of resident trainees, nearly two-thirds of men and women reported planning to have a first or additional child during their current or next training program. In this cohort, parental leave was available to 88% of men and 89% of women, with the median length of leave being five to eight weeks for mothers and less than one week for fathers. Residents and medical students alike report concerns that time away from professional duties for leave will prolong their length of training, delay or negatively influence promotion to advanced training levels, result in lost income, and lead to negative evaluations. There are multiple institutional, regulatory, and policy barriers that potentially limit the ability of individual institutions to support trainees who take extended leave. These barriers include educational requirements for medical trainees, scheduling challenges posed by trainee workload, and timing of board certifications or progression to further levels of medical training. Efforts to identify possible approaches and policies to reduce barriers for all individuals attempting to balance family life with successful careers will be critical to sustaining a diverse and healthy workforce. These efforts should support anyone who is interested in taking time away from professional duties to raise a child. This workshop aims to generate a conversation among leaders in academic medicine to explore options for developing national standards around leave policies for medical trainees.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Recognize the implications current leave policies have on trainees and early career faculty
    • Identify potential barriers to adopting flexible leave policies at the personal, institutional, and national levels

    Rhythmic Healing: Music and Medicine  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)
    If you are a physician, medical student or just spend most of your days around doctors, it will come as no surprise that many more physicians have been trained musically than the general population. Both fields require dedication, practice, and innovation. But the linkages don’t stop there. It turns out that music, medicine, and neuroscience have many more commonalities. Now, research shows that music has an established role in language and learning development and in patient therapy and care.

    In this session, neuroscientist Nina Kraus and neurologist Alex Pantelyat will detail their own work in connecting music and medicine and explain the concept of rhythmic entrainment. Kraus, a scientist, inventor, and amateur musician has devoted her work to the study of how our brains make sense of the sounds we hear. Pantelyat co-founded and is co-director of the Center for Music and Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. The Center’s purpose is to accelerate research in this nascent field and to explore how to make music an integral part of treating illnesses and developing therapies for those suffering from strokes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, autism and other diseases.

    Come explore this fascinating research field, consider how your institution may become involved, and, you may just have the benefit of an impromptu performance by our speakers.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Understand the concept of rhythmic entrainment as it pertains to human neurophysiologys
    • Be able to name applications of rhythmic entrainment to medical conditions, including movement disorders and language disorders
    • Explore future evidence-based directions and applications of music as it pertains to healing

    Co-production: Integrating Medical Education and Clinical Care for Better Outcomes  (Conv. Center: Ballroom BC)
    Coproduction is beginning to receive increasing attention as a philosophy and strategy in health care. Coproduction is “the interdependent work of users and professionals to design, create, develop, deliver, assess, and improve the relationships and actions that contribute to the health of individuals and populations.” Combining the key principles of self-regulated learning, informed self-assessment, and coproduction makes it clear that learners must be “active agents” in their own assessment program. This session will explore the implications of coproduction for transforming UME and GME and will include examples from two diverse educational programs guided by coproduction principles who have realized meaningful educational outcomes. Participants will hear an expert perspective on this model and learn about the central role of the trainee in the health care team. They will then engage in a facilitated discussion of ways to apply coproduction locally.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Introduce key principles of coproduction (theory burst; history)
    • Apply lessons learned from practical examples to local programs

    Promoting Diversity in the Faculty Pipeline through Scholarship: Programs, Mentoring, Writing Groups  (Conv. Center: Ballroom EF)
    To date, diversity in the academic medicine workforce lacks significant inclusion of women, underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other groups. Transparency in the appointment and promotion process and completion of scholarship is critical to inform decision making as it relates to advancement in academia. Publishing, or the lack of, has been a significant factor in slower promotion rates for women and underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+. Publication rates for individuals in these populations may be hindered by an underappreciation of best practices to increasing publication efficiency or of the vast array of publication opportunities beyond original research. In addition, structural barriers such as the lack of concordant role models and mentors who are publishing at home institutions and the “minority tax” may also hinder productivity. This interactive workshop will highlight best practices as well as gather participants’ perspectives on promoting diverse trainees and faculty publication rates through peer reviewed journals such as the AAMC’s MedEdPORTAL and Academic Medicine.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Articulate opportunities available to diverse physician trainees and faculty to publish

    Leadership and Governance to Achieve Mission-Aligned Diversity Goals  (Conv. Center: Ballroom G)

    This year marks the 40th anniversary of the landmark ruling in the case of Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which set the stage for robust efforts to help achieve the educational and professional benefits for all students that are associated with diverse learning experiences. With, now, five Supreme Court opinions, countless research papers, and a rich body of institutional experience since 1978, what do we know? And how should recent federal policy changes, shifts in Supreme Court composition, ongoing litigation, and student activism influence wise and strategic institutional action?

    This session will address issues of institutional policy, governance, culture, process management and practice intrinsic to success, with reflections on lessons learned from decades of hard work in the trenches. Topics covered will include relevant federal non-discrimination laws (and recent cases and Trump Administration actions on that front); models of governance and systems design that can help advance better outcomes; insights regarding important data and evidence that should be integral to program evaluation over time; and transparency and communications considerations. And, you’ll learn five critical institutional actions to succeed in challenging times.

    Learning Objectives:
    • Discuss the relationship between the Supreme Court rulings and DOJ guidance

    The Butchering Art: the Grisly World of Victorian Surgery  (Conv. Center: Ballroom D)
    By this point in the conference, you may have already attended 10 or more sessions that have us looking toward the future. Now, it’s time to take a look at the past and see what we can learn from our visionary predecessors while enjoying an intriguing and, at times, scary discussion.

    Come spend the afternoon with medical historian Lindsey Fitzharris as she sheds light on the brutal and bloody world of Victorian surgery—a place not for the squeamish (but we know you can handle it!). Fitzharris discusses how surgeons, working before anesthesia, were lauded for their speed and brute strength. They rarely washed their hands or their instruments, and carried with them a cadaverous smell of rotting flesh, which those in the profession cheerfully referred to as “good old hospital stink.”

    Fitzharris also explores a critical turning point in the history of medicine. When surgery couldn't have been more dangerous, an unlikely figure stepped forward: Joseph Lister, a young, visionary Quaker surgeon whose quest to unite science and medicine delivered us into the modern world. By making the audacious claim that germs were the source of all infection—and could be treated with antiseptics— and working ceaselessly to enlighten the medical world, Lister brought centuries of savagery, sawing, and gangrene to an end.

    Her book, The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister’s Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine, will be available for signing after the session.

    Plenary: The Extra Mile  (Conv. Center: Hall 4)
    A panel discussion led by journalist Tamron Hall.

    Becoming a doctor isn’t a walk in the park. But getting through medical school and residency is the least of the hurdles faced by some doctors-to-be. Hear the inspiring stories of four remarkable individuals: a child raised in the foster care system who become a medical school dean and president of the Lasker Foundation; a Kurdish refugee from Syria who once worked as a dishwasher and is now a cardiologist at Emory; a former pastor who entered medical school at 50, after her husband took his own life, and is now a resident in psychiatry and family medicine at the University of Cincinnati; and a child who was “the poorest of the poor” but survived hunger, rats, and physical abuse to become an associate dean at Washington University in St. Louis.

    Tamron Hall will lead the panelists in a discussion about how they navigated their paths to success—the determination, the pluck, the mettle, and the mentors that were necessary to get them where they are today.

    Innovations in Simulation-Based Assessment of Competencies: From Student to Clinician  (Conv. Center: 18)
    Simulation-based assessment has been shown to be a flexible and effective tool, regardless of specialty or discipline. As the field transitions to competency-based medical education (CBME) across the continuum, there is a demand for the development of a robust and multifaceted system of assessment. While simulation cannot replace authentic work-based assessment, it is a powerful strategy that should be fully integrated into medical education across the continuum of learning to benefit students, residents, educators, and most importantly, patients. Three presenters will be asked to share a novel use of simulation-based assessment of competence and evidence support its broader adoption. Examples will include assessment of procedures (Core EPA), communication (Milestones), and complex clinical practice (MOC). A facilitated discussion will follow regarding how medical schools and teaching hospitals can work together across the continuum to maximize the benefits of simulation-based assessment.

    Learning Objective:
    • Identify the critical elements necessary for adopting simulation-based assessments

    Practical Strategies to Achieve Cognitive Integration of Clinical Skills and Basic Science  (Conv. Center: Ballroom EF)
    The concept of integration in medical education has come a long way in the past decade, with educators theorizing that creating relationships between basic science and clinical knowledge improves diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills, increases material retention, and reduces student seat time. Some studies demonstrate cognitive integration benefits for our learners in isolated experimental settings, where integration and study subject recruitment occurred independently of educational curricula. How can we achieve and measure real cognitive integration in our learners when considered in the context of the challenges and logistics of implementation along the continuum of preclinical and clinical curriculum? This session will explore these questions with relevance for both basic science and clinical educators.

    Learning Objective:
    • Discuss the challenges that medical educators face in achieving strong integration throughout the medical education continuum, from preclerkship to post-clerkship
