This interactive session will include an overview of the peer-review and publication processes as well as common reasons for rejection. We will discuss strategies for writing effective titles and abstracts for all types of scholarly publications (e.g., journal articles, conference submissions, reports, etc.) and share published examples from Academic Medicine to illustrate these strategies. Participants will engage in a writing exercise to apply what they have learned.

8:45 AM - 10:00 AM	Opening Plenary, American Injustice: Mercy, Humanity, and Making a Difference (Conv. Center North: 120) Bryan Stevenson is a committed, passionate, and eloquent defender of the incarcerated, the poor, and those oppressed by racism. As founder of the Equal Justice Initiative and the mastermind behind the National Lynching Memorial, Stevenson is not afraid to address the dark past of this country and the ongoing injustices that are far too common in 2019. Alone, incarceration is a national issue. The United States has gone from 300,000 people in jails and prisons in the 1970s to 2.2 million today. One in three black males born in this country is expected to go to prison. But we know there is more to the problem than simply prison terms. From codified racial segregation and racial hierarchy to white supremacy, holding this country accountable for racial injustice has only grown in importance to Stevenson as he and his talented team have won appeals and freedom for those wrongly imprisoned. In this talk, Stevenson will share some of his moving stories from Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption, which chronicles his devotion to the legal defense of those most in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the legal system. He will also discuss the current state of racism in this country and why it’s so critical that we be willing to talk about — and confront — racial and economic injustice.

Moving the Needle on Faculty Burnout: Assessing Outcomes of Wellness Strategies (Conv. Center North: 224)

Understanding and addressing faculty burnout has been identified as critical to academic medicine, both in fostering the well-being of faculty and in sustaining excellence in delivery of teaching, research, and patient care. Many institutions have begun to assess the burnout of their faculty, and some are in the process of implementing strategies to address burnout and promote wellness at the individual and institution levels. Given the far-reaching consequences of burnout, assessing the efficacy of interventions employed remains as important as assessing faculty burnout. The session will feature institutions that have employed multipronged strategies to mitigate burnout and demonstrated measurable outcomes in improving faculty wellness. By sharing promising practices with documented success for addressing burnout, other institutions can begin to adapt and refine strategies being used across academic medicine.

Learning Objectives:
• Describe evidence-based strategies institutions are using to address burnout and improve wellness that have been measured over time.
• Evaluate current institutional wellness practices and the measurement strategies that can be used to determine their impact on lessening faculty burnout.
• Formulate recommendations that can be shared with home institutions to improve the deployment and continued evaluation of promising practices to address burnout.

Science in Health and Health Care

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Improving Diagnostic Performance and Safety: a Call to Action for Education and Practice (Conv. Center West: 301 D) High-quality diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective medical care, yet diagnostic errors are prevalent, costly, and deadly. One of the most promising strategies to improve diagnosis in practice is to improve the effectiveness of health professions education across the continuum. This session will engage attendees in the work of a recent interprofessional initiative, funded by the Macy Foundation, to explicitly identify the competencies necessary for diagnostic excellence in practice and then implement innovations to ensure attainment of these competencies in health professions education, training, and practice. Key findings of the project include the fundamental interprofessional nature of the diagnostic process and the clear gaps that trainees and practicing clinicians have with respect to competence in clinical reasoning, teamwork, and systems-based practice. This session will highlight the findings of this initiative, engage attendees in analyzing their own programs to determine how to improve education and training about diagnosis, and offer actionable takeaways for implementation. Learning Objectives: • Discuss the public health imperative to improve diagnosis in health care. • Discuss and critique the newly described Competencies to Improve Diagnosis in Health Professions Education. • Identify methods to improve diagnosis through education, training, and practice at your home institution, focusing on clinical reasoning, teamwork, and understanding the health system.

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Embracing Change: Impact of the Core EPAs on Students and Curriculum (Conv. Center West: 301 C) The Core Entrustable Professional Activities (Core EPAs) were developed to articulate graduation requirements of U.S. medical students. While these 13 activities described the daily work of interns, early sentiment from key stakeholders revealed that graduates were underprepared to perform many of the Core EPAs upon graduation. Since 2013, the Core EPA and the Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum (EPAC) pilot institutions have been working to close the gap between undergraduate medical education (UME) and graduate medical education programs to meet the goal of the Core EPA initiative. In this session, leaders and students from the Core EPA and EPAC pilots will address the consequences of reorienting curriculum, with respect to impact on learners and the larger educational curriculum. We will highlight: (1) role of the preclinical curriculum; (2) transition and gateway assessments; (3) clerkship curriculum and assessment strategies; (4) tension between grades and entrustment decisions; and (5) faculty and learner development. Participants will discuss their local efforts to reform curriculum and will reflect upon changes that could facilitate full implementation of the Core EPAs at their respective sites. Learning Objectives: • Understand the implications of incorporating the Core EPAs into UME curriculum from the perspectives of students, clinicians, faculty developers, and curriculum developers. • Weigh the local and national challenges inherent in developing a Core EPA-oriented curriculum in UME programs. • Compare and contrast approaches used by the Core EPA pilot schools to address the challenges identified.

Climate and Culture Across Academic Medicine

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Finding (and Paying for) Basic Science Faculty to Teach (Conv. Center North: 221) As curriculum in the basic sciences is evolving, and the faculty who traditionally taught these lecture-based classes are retiring, finding and paying for basic science faculty to teach these courses is becoming a challenge. This session will start with a discussion from the perspective of a principal business officer that frames several of the current challenges: How do you recruit, pay and promote your basic science teachers; and what is the skill set you are recruiting for to teach the basic sciences given the changes in education models to a more problem and team-based learning environment? What are the implications for your current basic science faculty and your current basic science departmental structure? Following this high-level overview, two education leaders will share the experiences at their organizations and how they have developed successful models to address these questions and challenges. Facilitator: F. John Case Speaker(s): Elizabeth Ryan, Angela Sharkey
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Integrating a Sustainable Diverse and Inclusive GME Workforce (Conv. Center North: 132) Effective July 2019, programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education must “engage in practices that focus on mission-driven, ongoing, systematic recruitment and retention of a diverse and inclusive workforce of residents, fellows (if present), faculty members, senior administrative staff members, and other relevant members of its academic community.” While the Liaison Committee on Medical Education already has language to this effect in place for undergraduate medical education, understanding how best to adapt and implement strategies in support of the new diversity requirement will call on the graduate medical education (GME) community’s shared understanding and collective commitment to instigate meaningful action. Learning Objectives: • Identify obstacles to GME recruitment and retention. • Delineate evaluation elements to assess institutional efforts at creating a diverse faculty and learner community. • Explore partnership strategies to mitigate attrition from GME. Facilitator: David Kountz Speaker(s): Kathryn Andolsek, Joanelle Bailey, William McDade
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Strengthening Relationships Among Health Care Professionals: Strategies for Conflict Resolution (Conv. Center North: 129) Unresolved conflicts among health care professionals can lead to difficult consequences, including a disrespectful work environment and weakened team collaboration. Prior research by Azoulay et al. (2009) and Catchpole et al. (2008) shows that unresolved team conflicts pose grave consequences for patient safety and quality of care. Leaders require a deep understanding of the nature of conflict in order for targeted interventions to be created and appropriate behaviors to be modeled. In this session, the facilitators will share the common sources of conflict that occur in health care teams and discuss ways to create a more respectful environment for resolving conflict. Concrete and practical conflict dialogue skills will be learned in a workshop format and practiced in a “hot seat” simulation. Learning Objectives: • Describe individual, interpersonal, and organizational sources of conflict and their impact on teams and patients. • Recognize the impact of power differentials in conflict situations. • Explain a process and related techniques for making conflict dialogue productive and respectful.

Faith, Morality, and Mortality: Everything Happens (Conv. Center West: 301 AB)

Kate Bowler, PhD, was diagnosed with an incurable stage 4 cancer at age 35. At the time, Dr. Bowler had already achieved success beyond her years. As a Duke professor and historian, Dr. Bowler authored Blessed: A History of the American Prosperity Gospel, which examines the growing religious movement where spiritual progress is measured in terms of financial wealth and physical well-being. In short, the prosperity gospel supports the belief that God grants health and wealth to those with the right kind of faith. The irony was not lost on Dr. Bowler.

Since her diagnosis, she has devoted significant time to writing about faith and hope, morality, and death. She has amassed a huge following as evidenced by the critical acclaim and response to her second book, Everything Happens for a Reason: And Other Lies I’ve Loved, her podcasts, and her social media presence.

Dr. Bowler has some key messages for those treating the suffering. She has called out the damaging cultural scripts that we too often use when interacting with patients and their loved ones. In this talk, she will guide us through some of the mistaken ways we attempt to make sense of suffering and will share how her own experience has been influenced by faith, her caregivers, and her husband and son.

Leading Effectively When You Inherit a Crisis (Conv. Center North: 224)

Of the myriad circumstances that prompt leadership transitions across the academic medical enterprise, those involving major, unresolved challenges or crises at the departmental or institutional level are arguably the most challenging for the leader who is next in line. These crises can be complex, involving multiple stakeholders; high-profile, both internally and externally; and high-risk, posing harm to the institution’s reputation, resources, and overall ability to carry out its missions. This session will feature panelists with experience assuming a leadership role at a time of crisis for the department or institution. Speakers will explore personal characteristics and professional skills that contribute to successful leadership under these unique circumstances and will represent a variety of crises and administrative and executive roles.

Learning Objectives:
• Describe challenges and opportunities for the individual and the institution specific to assuming a leadership position amidst an institutional crisis.
• Identify personal and professional characteristics integral to success when undertaking a leadership position amidst an institutional crisis.
• Assess the characteristics and readiness of internal candidates for different leadership opportunities, including those that may benefit from superior crisis response and management skills.

The Promise and Perils in AI: Understanding Its Challenge Throughout the Academic Medicine Continuum (Conv. Center West: 301 D)

Artificial intelligence (AI) was first coined in the 1950s to describe complex information processing. While the field progressed slowly through its first decades, recent advances in computational power, deep learning and neural network systems, and access to large datasets have set the stage for the rapid acceleration of AI. Potential applications in medicine are vast and include diagnostics, personalized medicine, predictive analytics for managing population health, workforce planning, virtual assistants, and streamlining workflow in complex health systems. While there remains painstaking work before transformational uses of AI catch up with its hype, the envisioned impact on medicine is enormous. Yet such black-box learning systems are also fraught with ethical implications, including baking human bias into AI algorithms, not to mention the associated challenges with educating students and training the physicians of tomorrow with regard to the potential and pitfalls of AI. This session will explore the impact of AI on the traditional three mission areas of academic medicine — education, research, and patient care.

Learning Objectives:
• Enhance awareness of the AI and potential applications and limitations for diagnostics, workflow design, and decision support in health care.
• Discuss limitations of artificial intelligence and aspects of specialties less likely to change, including student and advisors training issues in AI-heavy specialties, such as radiology.
• Understand the ethical pitfalls of AI, including bias, sensitivity/specificity, data ownership, and validation/generalizability across health systems.

Educating Physicians and Scientists

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Achieving Health Equity and Social Justice for Newly Arrived Immigrants in Arizona and Beyond (Conv. Center North: 124) Recent events across the United States — and in Arizona, in particular — have triggered a national conversation about the health and well-being of newly arrived immigrants, including migrant workers, refugees, asylees, and individuals who are undocumented. These groups face common barriers to health care, and many providers are not adequately equipped to address their health care and social needs. Using the voices and stories of local immigrants, physicians, and community leaders, the session will highlight the pressing need to educate, train, and inspire a new workforce of health care and research professionals who are knowledgeable about the impacts of immigration status on health and who are committed to bridging the divide between state and federal policy, underserved and hidden communities, and academic medicine. This session will give participants the opportunity to learn about the unique needs and inequities faced by undocumented immigrants in the United States, broadly, and in Arizona, specifically, and to discuss what academic medicine — across its research, education, clinical, and diversity and inclusion missions — is and could be doing to improve the health and well-being of these populations. Learning Objectives: • Understand the critical issues regarding the health and health care of newly arrived immigrants, including migrant workers, refugees, asylees, and the undocumented. • Describe the role of policy and the social determinants of health in creating and perpetuating health care inequities among newly arrived immigrants. • Identify actions an academic medical center can take across its clinical, educational, and research missions to improve the health and health care of newly arrived immigrants. Speaker(s): David Schlinkert
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Development of Expertise: The Role of Deliberate Practice in Lifelong Learning in Medical Education (Conv. Center West: 301 C) The development of medical expertise is not completed in medical school or residency but extends throughout clinical practice. Ideally physicians should move beyond competent at the end of residency to become proficient and expert in their respective fields. What we can learn from the study of other areas, such as musicians, chess players, and athletes, about how to become an expert can extend to professional development not only for clinicians but also for administrators and teachers. This session will highlight the work of Anders Ericsson, PhD, an expert on expertise. His research on the acquisition of expert performance through deliberate practice in diverse domains, including medicine, will be used to infer more generalized lessons for learning. Dr. Alison Whelan, AAMC chief of medical education, will relate the science of learning to the continuous professional development of physicians. She will explore how medical education can be evolved to create communities of learners and how online learning games and simulations can optimize engagement and retention of skills. A structured interview of Drs. Ericsson and Whelan will explore the current research and application on how to develop mastery. This session will reinforce the human potential for mastery and help us consider how the principles of deliberate practice and guided practice can facilitate learning for all levels of health care students and professionals. Learning Objectives: • Dispel myths surrounding learning and the development of mastery. • Apply lessons learned from other varied disciplines to the field of medicine. • Ideate ways that principles of deliberate practice can be applied to your own teaching craft. Facilitator: Carl Chan Speaker(s): Anders Ericsson, Alison Whelan
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Feed Forward: Identifying and Strengthening Support for At-Risk Students During Clerkship (Conv. Center North: 229) Feeding forward student information to course and clerkship directors with the specific goal of improving the professional development of our students has its benefits and challenges. There are varying opinions and little consensus regarding if and how feed forward should be undertaken. We aim to direct a nuanced and exploratory discussion for how we can use feed forward to benefit our students as they progress in their education. Learning Objectives: • Discuss the pros and cons of sharing information on struggling students during the clerkship year. • Describe methods used by different schools to identify and help at-risk students by feeding forward during the clinical clerkships. • Explain how different institutional policies influence approaches to information about struggling students.

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Process and Preliminary Outcomes of Entrustment in the AAMC Core EPA Pilot (Conv. Center North: 122) One of the main goals of the Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) pilot is to determine the feasibility of developing a process to make summative entrustment decisions regarding EPAs. Five years into the pilot, most pilot schools have an entrustment committee in place, but none have yet made entrustment decisions that serve a real summative purpose. We previously described a set of core principles for guiding the development of the entrustment process. Each member school embraced these principles and made progress in a variety of areas. Nonetheless, considerable variability exists among schools regarding committee process, membership, data reviewed, outcomes, and the relationship between the entrustment committees and existing progress committees. We will describe the characteristics of entrustment committees at pilot schools, including elements in place or in the process of being implemented, demonstrating the variety of ways schools have approached the entrustment process. Particularly notable about the entrustment process is the review of data from all medical students by entrustment committee members. This model mirrors that of the clinical competency committees seen in graduate medical education and differs considerably from traditional medical school promotions committees, in which only cases of unsatisfactory performance or professionalism issues are reviewed.Several common barriers and facilitators to the entrustment process emerged and will be presented. We will also share multi-institutional data regarding entrustment processes and decisions for our students. Learning Objectives: • Compare and contrast entrustment, clinical competence, and promotions committee processes. • Identify a variety of ways in which schools may approach the entrustment process. • Discuss barriers and facilitators to the entrustment process.

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Community-Based Faculty: New Approaches to Valuing a Critical Resource (Conv. Center North: 232) Community-based volunteer and adjunct faculty are critical partners in the delivery of clinical education. As educational delivery models change, an increased reliance on community-based faculty comes with a host of recruitment, retention, recognition, and rewards issues, such as student saturation, increased competition from offshore and non-allopathic medical schools, faculty development, and wellness and burnout. Building on the 2018 Forum on Community and Volunteer Faculty, hosted by the AAMC Groups on Regional Medical Campuses and Faculty Affairs, and the Council on Faculty and Academic Societies, this session will present generalizable, solution-oriented strategies and approaches for addressing issues related to community-based faculty. Approaches include utilizing the institutional advancement office to recruit new alumni to faculty positions, developing exclusive rewards programs, advocating for state tax breaks, and streamlining faculty development and requirements to ease the burden on this volunteer population. Learning Objectives: • List and describe challenges that prevent community faculty from teaching. • Describe new approaches to recruiting, retaining, recognizing, and valuing volunteer faculty. • Advocate locally for new programs to increase personal value to volunteer faculty appointments. Facilitator: April Heiselt
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Majority Women in Medicine: The Future of Medicine as We Cross the 50% Threshold (Conv. Center North: 121) In 2017, for the first time, the number of women matriculants in U.S. medical schools exceeded the number of men. While women are making progress in medical school admission, there are still barriers in the field for female medical trainees. The disparities between men and women in academic medical specialties range from pay inequalities to retention to representation in leadership positions. Additionally, implicit gender bias influences women and men at all levels of medical training and practice. Recent studies have illustrated the impact of gender bias on specialty choice. In one study, the primary deterrent for women entering surgery was the perceptions of gender discrimination in the surgical field. Gender discrimination is not only impacting career decision early in training — it may also impact placement in residencies and faculty attrition. This raises the question: What has becoming “majority women” meant for certain specialties, and will medicine broadly follow those trends? Taking a future-oriented approach and drawing from leaders in various specialties, this session aims to address changes, real or projected, that will occur within medicine as women continue to enter medicine in equal proportions to men. What will the future of medicine look like? Additionally, this session will address potential career choice changes by gender in medicine and highlight ways in which allies can help support the careers of medical students moving forward. Highlighting leaders in a variety of specialties this session will explore how we must overcome unconscious biases in medical student mentorship to ensure gender diversity in more specialties. Learning Objectives: • Understand the current state of gender disparities by medical specialties through evidence-based data and the biases that potentially impact medical students’ choices. • Share recruitment strategies from specialties with majority women and explore action plans for implementing recruitment strategies to increase overall gender diversity. • Understand the importance of mentorship in specialty choice by counteracting gender stereotypes regarding specialties. Facilitator: Elizabeth Ellinas Speaker(s): Stephanie Bonne, Nancy Spector, Kimberly Templeton
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Sexual Harassment and Gender Discrimination in GME: Getting to Accountability (Conv. Center North: 221) From the recent National Academies of Medicine report Sexual Harassment of Women to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education’s major revision of its Common Program Requirement to address discrimination and harassment, issues of accountability and advocacy in creating learning and work environments free from harassment — and with recourse for those subject to harassment and discrimination — are at the forefront of deliberations on physician well-being and true implementation of diversity and inclusion. The complexity of culture change in creating learning and work environments free of sexual harassment and gender discrimination requires a sophisticated understanding of the issues, implications, and strategies to ensure a safe and engaged learning and work environment. The Group on Resident Affairs queried its membership on institutional efforts around gender discrimination and sexual harassment, specifically on steps to create respectful environments, safeguards, improving transparency and accountability around process and recourse, evaluation of efforts to prevent sexual harassment and gender discrimination, and measuring progress. Coupling the survey results with perspective from a DIO and member of the ACGME Common Program Requirements Task Force and a leader from the compliance community, session participants will build an appreciation for the imperative and develop a framework for creating and implementing a viable framework for meaningful change. Learning Objectives: • Assess elements that create a respectful environment for faculty and residents. • Develop safeguards and recourse for those who may be subject to sexual harassment and gender discrimination. • Advocate for transparency and action to address sexual harassment and gender discrimination. Facilitator: Tsveti Markova Speaker(s): Jessica Bienstock, Jeanne Strickland
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Social Media: Building (and Protecting) Your Online Professional Brand (Conv. Center North: 129) Initially seen as a fad, social media is here to stay. But social networking hasn’t just changed the way we keep in touch with friends and family. It’s changed how we interact with professional colleagues and how our organizations do business. It’s changed what patients and community members expect of us in terms of communication and responsiveness. Although it can sometimes seem asocial and intimidating, social networking can be a powerful career tool. Move from Social Media 101 to Social Media O.M.G. to advance your personal professional brand and your organization. This session will review some of the most popular social media channels, key terms and concepts, and tips on how social networking tools can be used to enhance a professional brand. The presentation will introduce resources and tools available in our organizations, share lessons from social media influencers, and alert attendees to legal and organizational policy concerns. Case studies will be used to apply what we have learned, including how to apply a decision matrix to determine when and if you should respond to a negative post and how timely social media responses can turn a complaint into an opportunity for engagement. A question and answer period will conclude the session. Participants will leave the session more comfortable with their social media opportunities and a sense of how to engage online in a professional context. Better aware of the legal risks, organizational expectations expressed via policy, and the effort needed to foster a robust social media presence, attendees will be better able to determine how social networking can build their professional brand. Learning Objectives: • Identify appropriate current social media channels for building your professional brand. • Discuss the unique concerns for social media use by health professionals and scientists in an academic medicine environment. • Analyze a social media exchange and apply a decision-making tree to determine appropriate responses in the academic medicine environment.

Across the country, medical students engage in self-lead initiatives that seek to foster community service, medical education, and student wellness — just to name a few of many domains. These initiatives are the grass-roots movements within academic medicine. The Learners Leading Learners showcase highlights just five of these initiatives from across the country, chosen for the uniquely innovative, meaningful, rigorous, and successful approaches to their respective causes. Recognition of these projects has value not only to other medical students, but also to those in the administration of medical schools who can gain new insight into and appreciation for student initiatives. Projects can vary between student wellness, medical education, and advocacy, as usual examples, but all student-driven initiatives may be considered.

Learning Objectives:
• Identify, showcase, and support projects that, through their student leaders’ own initiative and rigor, create and improve innovations across the entire spectrum of medical education.
• Increase awareness for student-led initiatives in the academic medicine community at large.
• Evaluate and deconstruct barriers to student-led initiatives and foster institutional support for similar student-led projects.

Value of Academic Health Systems

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	An Institutional Perspective: the Impact of Mergers, Acquisitions, and Partnerships (Conv. Center North: 131) Over the last decade, the academic medicine community (and health care industry at large) has seen an increase in hospital and health system merger, acquisition, and partnership (MAP) activity. Research has shown that MAP activity presents institutions with the opportunity to scale health care costs, offer additional health care services, and create or improve their footprint in patient communities. However, MAP activity is not a small undertaking, as it has a great impact on all stakeholders, and aligning results to create a transformative change to meet the needs of a transforming health care system is a greater challenge that can take time. During this session, Banner Health President and CEO Peter Fine will share his insights on the institution’s successes and challenges during the University of Arizona Health Network (UAHN) and Banner Health merger that transformed the Arizona health care market and discuss the strategies that supported the merger and continue to influence the institution’s operations and culture. Learning Objectives: • Identify some of the various factors that contributes to and the institutional challenges caused by MAP activity (from the announcement to finalization). • Recognize the necessary analytical and interpersonal skills to manage the initiation through completion of a MAP activity. • Understand the impact of MAP activity on various stakeholders. Speaker(s): Peter Fine
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Expanding Residency Programs to New Hospitals: the Rewards and Challenges of One State’s Approach (Conv. Center North: 121) To address physician shortages and maldistribution of specialties across Georgia, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia appropriated annual funding starting in fiscal year 2013 for graduate medical education (GME) start-up costs that new teaching hospitals matched dollar for dollar. This session will explore the myriad of challenges faced by community hospitals that started training residents through this program and also will discuss the initial outcomes of this effort. Learning Objectives: • Understand how Georgia came to provide funding for GME start-up costs. • Be able to discuss the results of the program after six years of existence. • Explore the across-the-board obstacles — both anticipated and unexpected — faced by a hospital that had never before trained residents but decided to participate in this program. Facilitator: Ivy Baer Speaker(s): Bruce Middendorf, Shelley Nuss
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Improving Access to Care: Learning and Leading Through Health System Exemplars (Conv. Center North: 231) This session explores successful initiatives targeting improved access to care in the ambulatory setting. As demand for outpatient clinic visits continues to rise and outstrip the capacity of faculty and staff, academic medical centers are implementing a wide range of efforts to improve timely access to care. The AAMC and Vizient have convened several learning collaboratives that target access, and this session will highlight the most effective and generalizable lessons learned through this work. Health system leaders responsible for contemporary approaches to achieve better ambulatory access will share their efforts and lessons learned through interactive dialogue with the audience and program moderators. Learning Objectives: • Understand the principle drivers of inadequate access to specialty and primary care visits for patients and the impact access barriers have on quality and value of care. • Describe successful efforts to rightsize the workforce and optimize staffing, operational structures, and clinical workflows to get patients to the right place at the right time. • Explore opportunities that are broadly applicable to attendees of the session, and identify tangible next steps to engage in clinical innovations that can optimize access to care for patients. Facilitator: Scott Shipman Speaker(s): Penny Castellano, Catherine Krna
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Washington Update (Conv. Center North: 122) This session will provide a real-time general update on the broad range of federal advocacy issues affecting academic medicine. Learning Objectives: • Gain a basic understanding of the AAMC’s advocacy priorities in the context of the current legislative and regulatory environment. • Understand the potential impact of those issues on AAMC-member institutions. • Identify possible opportunities to support AAMC advocacy.

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM

Human Genome Editing in the Era of CRISPR: What’s Possible? What’s Ethical? (Conv. Center North: 222)

Last year’s announcement from China of the birth of two infants whose genomes were intentionally altered created a major controversy. But the medical and bioethical communities have long deliberated about the potential for gene editing technologies, like CRISPR CAS-9, to benefit human health, while cautioning about risks to human beings — as individuals, populations, and even a species. In many ways, the announcement did not create controversy but made complex matters suddenly more urgent. The session will host a discussion by two prominent physicians who have dedicated themselves to understanding the medical potential and bioethical implications of these technologies and how our global medical community can respond.

Learning Objectives:
• Explain potential benefits and harms for use of gene editing technologies embryos.
• Describe an ethical pathway to using gene editing technology.
• Recount the ethics of embryo manipulation and the key questions about what can already be done now for inborn errors.

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Technology Trends in Medical Education: Capabilities and Crucial Considerations for 2030 (Conv. Center West: 301 D) Trends in medical education innovation and the emboldened vision for 2030 call for medical education models highlighting competency-based, technology-empowered, and distributed teaching approaches. Recent curriculum redesign witnesses the cross-functional efforts of technology and teaching: flipped-classrooms, “lecture-free” curricula, instructional design, data analytics, virtual reality, high-fidelity simulation, and artificial intelligence. This calls for informed and intentional structuring of educational technology to support and propel medical education. This session will present (1) the results of a recently conducted national survey on educational technology structure models, (2) leading medical faculty experiences and perspectives on the dynamics with educational technology to transform teaching for 2030, and (3) e-suite leaders’ voice on educational technology in light of medical education innovation. Through the national survey results, case studies, and forward-thinking conversation, this session will provide frameworks on strategic structuring of educational technology in active support of the future of medical education. This session addresses the gap between ongoing changes in medical education and structural investment in educational technology and personnel. Learning Objectives: • Understand the current structuring models of educational technology and strengths of each in supporting medical education. • Identify educational technology structuring needs and forward-thinking approaches within a medical school context. • Apply tools and frameworks for structuring educational technology in alignment with the school’s vision of medical education. Facilitator: Pauline Becker Speaker(s): Sharon Chen, Pamela Davis, Traci Wolbrink, Jinjie Zheng
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	The Transition From UME to GME: Residency Preparation Courses in the Final Year of Medical School (Conv. Center West: 301 C) Numerous medical schools offer, or are developing, courses aimed at optimizing their senior medical students’ preparedness for the responsibilities they will assume as interns. These courses vary widely in length, content, scope, and timing; some are required elements in the curriculum and others are offered on an elective basis. This session will first provide an overview of the current landscape of these transition courses at U.S. medical schools and summarize the evidence to date about the impact of such courses on students’ preparedness for the start of residency training. This overview will be followed by three presentations highlighting different approaches to course development and implementation: (1) a required course developed by the school, (2) an elective course developed by the school, and (3) an elective course offered by the school based on a national curriculum developed by the American College of Surgeons, Association of Program Directors in Surgery, and Association for Surgical Education for students planning to enter general surgery residency. The presentations will be followed by small group breakout sessions for participants to join a discussion on one of several different challenges that face educators in developing and leading resident preparation courses in medical school. The session will close with a brief report-out of top tips from each discussion group. A full contact list of resources, references, facilitators, and presenters will be provided to all participants. Learning Objectives: • Describe the role for residency preparation courses in the undergraduate to graduate medical education transition. • Identify three key logistic considerations in development and implementation of a residency preparation course at your medical school. • Define the potential advantages and disadvantages of utilizing a national residency preparation curriculum at your medical school. Facilitator: Mona M. Abaza Speaker(s): Keith Delman, Helen Morgan, David Wald

Climate and Culture Across Academic Medicine

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Gratitude and Appreciation in the Workplace to Promote Well-Being and Engagement (Conv. Center North: 124) In an age where the stresses of the workplace can be overwhelming and specific challenges in academic medicine can lead to burnout, this breakout will address the positive impact of demonstrating appreciation and gratitude on the workplace culture and give examples of how this can be achieved. Having a greater sense of gratitude and appreciation can mitigate many of the circumstances that can lead to clinician stress and burnout — and make the workplace a more enriching, satisfying, and ultimately more effective place. Learning Objectives: • Understand some of the evidence that links gratitude to well-being. • Learn strategies and practices to enhance gratitude. • Learn types of appreciation that are valued in the workplace. Facilitator: Kathleen Nelson Speaker(s): Kelli Harding, Catherine Pipas
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	What Works to Promote Faculty Diversity? Exploring Ideas and Emerging Practices (Conv. Center North: 229) National data show persistent faculty hiring and promotion inequities by race/ethnicity and gender. Many academic medical centers have initiated a variety of practices to attract, select, and retain a broadly diverse faculty with mission-centric experiences and characteristics. This session will explore the range strategies to increase diversity in medicine and science with initiatives that include early intervention with medical students, application of holistic review in faculty affairs, and other emerging practices. The session will start with an overview of national data on faculty diversity and promotion rates. Expert panelists will describe planning and implementation, the alignment of faculty recruitment with institutional missions, and share experiences assigning value to non-traditional activities. It will include an interactive table activity that will challenge participants to think differently about how to engage and identify future faculty talent from a holistic perspective. Holistic admissions has been widely embraced by the medical education community as a powerful tool to identify talented students with experiences, attributes, and competencies to make contributions as successful students and as 21st-century physician leaders. This framework has demonstrated success in diversifying medical schools. Although current holistic review resources are primarily focused on undergraduate admissions, they fundamentally promote the infusion of diversity and inclusion and mission-related strategies that can be leveraged throughout the entire educational continuum. Learning Objectives: • Provide an overview of the state of diversity among faculty in academic medicine. • Apply emerging policies, programs, and practices that advance faculty diversity. • Identify opportunities to develop tools that inform the academic medicine community on effective, legally viable options for selecting and hiring 21st-century faculty. Facilitator: Patrick Smith Speaker(s): Toi Blakley Harris, Archana Chatterjee, René Salazar, John Paul Sanchez
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	When Facts and Data Aren't Enough: Storytelling as a Critical Leadership Strategy (Conv. Center North: 129) Whether circled around a campfire or basking in the glow of pixels from our computer screens, there's no doubt humans are wired to respond to a good story. Good stories aren’t just for entertainment purposes — they can help you achieve organizational goals. Using compelling storytelling and appropriate framing techniques is an effective leadership strategy. When you're trying to motivate people to change behavior or support your cause, quantitative data is necessary but not sufficient. You must include the qualitative aspect as well. There’s more to persuasion than just the facts and data; the rhetorical concept of pathos plays a part. Storytelling can capitalize on emotional appeals to bolster your strategic change efforts. From online communications to formal speeches to staff meetings to one-on-one interactions, a good story can make all the difference. The session will begin with an overview of three rhetorical concepts (ethos, pathos, and logos) that help us persuade others. The presentation will identify common story structures, including seven types identified by Steve Denning, that can be used in organizational settings. Audio and video clips of storytelling will be played to model effective use. The presentation will touch on strategies for incorporating storytelling — even when speakers aren't sure they’re great storytellers — before concluding with time for questions. The goal is for attendees to walk away understanding that properly applied, effective stories can capture the hearts and minds of our listeners and motivate action. They will also understand basic structures for stories that they can apply in their professional lives. Learning Objectives: • Explain the utility of framing and storytelling in organizational change efforts using examples from academic medicine. • Identify and explain the purpose of a variety of story types useful in organizational settings. • Apply proven storytelling techniques to achieve academic medical center strategic goals.

Voices of Medicine and Society and Lecture Series

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM

What the Eyes Don’t See: a Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City (Conv. Center West: 301 AB)

Mona Hanna-Attisha, MD, MPH, FAAP, or “Dr. Mona,” as she is widely known, is a whistleblower of the Flint water crisis. A pediatrician and associate professor at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, she is an immigrant who was born in the United Kingdom to parents of Iraqi descent. In 1980, after the rise of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Dr. Mona’s family immigrated to the United States and settled in Michigan, where she later dedicated her career to serving children and advocating for public health.

After Flint’s water supply was switched to a new source in 2014, Dr. Mona’s research uncovered an increase in the percentage of elevated blood lead levels in her pediatric patients. Despite denials from state officials, Dr. Mona’s persistent advocacy, along with that of a growing team, forced the state to acknowledge the manmade crisis, switch the water supply back to the Great Lakes, and commit to long-term public health measures to mitigate the effects of the crisis. Dr. Mona currently directs the MSU-Hurley Children’s Hospital Pediatric Public Health Initiative.

In this talk, Dr. Mona will share her commitment to humanism and discuss stories from her memoir, What the Eyes Don’t See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City, a 2018 New York Times Notable Book. She will also be presented with the 2019 Vilcek-Gold Award for Humanism in Healthcare by Dr. Jan. T. Vilcek, CEO and chairman of the Vilcek Foundation, and Dr. Richard I. Levin, president and CEO of The Arnold P. Gold Foundation. The new award honors an immigrant professional who has made extraordinary contributions to humanism in health care.

Value of Academic Health Systems

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Housing for Health: Medical Centers Approaching Housing as a Social Determinant of Health (Conv. Center North: 231) As anchor institutions with missions to improve the well-being of residents in surrounding communities, AAMC-member organizations are addressing housing as a patient social risk factor and housing at a community level as a social determinant of health. For positive health outcomes for individuals and communities, coupled with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services moving toward penalizing for readmissions for social determinants of health, members are taking approaches to housing that range from economic investments, advocacy, and wraparound social service supports to patients to positively influence health. In this moderated panel discussion, representatives from academic medical centers will discuss their “why,” their approach, and their results. Learning Objectives: • Describe several academic medical centers’ social approaches to addressing housing as a social determinant of health in their local communities and their influence on health equity. • Provide examples that can be initiated by academic medical centers to replicate promising practices. • Conduct assessments on how your institution is approaching housing as a social determinant of health. Facilitator: David Zuckerman Speaker(s): Angela Mingo, Frank Robinson, Freya Spielberg
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Regulatory Round-Up: Medicare, Medicaid and More (formerly Medicare Maze) (Conv. Center North: 121) This session will discuss the major federal regulatory activity by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and other agencies that affects the clinical work of teaching hospitals, medical school, physicians, and other providers. Learning Objectives: • Understand the major recent activity by CMS related to Medicare and Medicaid that has an impact on teaching hospitals, physicians, allied health professionals, and students. • Discuss the effect of federal regulations on academic institutions and their ability to care for patients and also the potential financial impacts of changes. • Alert your institution to regulatory issues that may affect them and suggest resources for addressing those issues. Facilitator: Ivy Baer Speaker(s): Gayle Lee, Mary Mullaney
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Taking the Risk: Trends and Future Directions for Alternative Payment Models (Conv. Center North: 229) The U.S. health care system is increasingly paying for volume rather than value. There is bipartisan consensus that the current fee-for-service payment model does not adequately incentivize quality, leading to the expansion of alternative payment models (APMs) to encourage high-quality, cost-effective care — referred to as value-based care (VBC). Academic medical centers (AMCs) are on the cutting edge of VBC by contributing to the design of new APMs, piloting models with public and private payers, and informing changes to APM before they are more broadly implemented. With the growth of accountable care organizations and bundled payments, APMs continue to increase as a percentage of AMCs’ revenue. Today’s residents and medical students will be expected to practice within this environment, making knowledge of VBC essential to their success. This panel discussion will feature leadership from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI), the federal agency that designs and implements APMs, and senior executives from AMCs participating in these models. The discussion will begin with CMMI’s vision for current and future APMs, including: the launch of new models, especially those that are mandatory; the increase in two-sided risk models where providers bear risk for the cost of their patients’ care; and the design of multipayer APMs with Medicare Advantage and other payers. The AMCs will contribute insights about what drives their participation in APMs; how they decide which models to join and how much risk to accept; the role of APMs in the clinical care they provide; and the impact this has on physicians, residents, and medical students. Following the prepared remarks, the facilitator will moderate questions from the audience. Learning Objectives: • Understand CMMI’s current trends and future directions for APMs, including the launch of new models and the movement toward providers bearing financial risk. • Identify successful strategies that AMCs have adopted to achieve clinical and financial improvement within accountable care organizations, bundled payments, and other alternative payment models. • Highlight the importance of understanding APMs across the continuum, from trainees to clinicians, as value-based care will be the paradigm of the future.

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Gold Humanism Honor Society Workshop: Advancing the Arts and Humanities in Medical Education (Conv. Center West: 301 C) There is growing recognition of the power of arts- and humanities-based pedagogies to foster the development of important clinical skills and to cultivate humanistic attitudes and practices. The Arnold P. Gold Foundation has supported educational innovations and research in this domain. This interactive session is offered in collaboration with the AAMC strategic initiative to integrate the arts and humanities across the continuum of medical education. We will provide a brief overview of the AAMC strategic initiative and present one or more research-based conceptual frameworks to guide our exploration of uses of the arts and humanities in medical education. Our purpose is to gather diverse stakeholders in the fields of medical education and the arts and humanities to discuss key questions, tensions, challenges, and opportunities. We hope to build relationships across disciplinary, conceptual, and geographic divides. This session will be highly interactive. It is a working meeting designed to advance thinking and collaboration in the field. Specific topics for discussion will emerge from the initial stages of a scoping review of the literature, commissioned by the AAMC and from the deliberations of the AAMC Arts and Humanities Integration Committee. Questions posed may be conceptual in nature (e.g., How should the arts be integrated with other aspects of the med-ed curriculum?), pedagogical (e.g., What educational strategies are most useful in engaging learners with humanities?), or outcomes-based (e.g., What specific learning outcomes do we seek by integrating medicine and the arts and humanities?). We may touch upon opportunities for medical educators and institutions to partner with artists, humanities scholars, and their home institutions. We will discuss ways to encourage professional development, research, and evaluation methods in this arena. A summary of session proceedings will be made available through the AAMC and The Arnold P. Gold Foundation websites. Facilitator: Elizabeth Gaufberg Speaker(s): Rita Charon, Paul Haidet, Lisa Howley, Tracy Moniz, Alison Whelan

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Supporting Medical Students through Early Career Decisions: Lessons Learned From 3 Pathway Programs (Conv. Center North: 222) An increasing number of medical schools are offering specialized educational pathways for students willing to commit to a specialty early in training. Because students in these pathway programs commit to a specialty in the first or second year of medical school, they need different types of support and advice than students in non-pathway programs, who typically choose specialties in the third and fourth years. Despite the substantial body of research on career choice in medicine, we know relatively little about how students in pathway programs make career decisions and how to support them in this pivotal decision-making process. This session will engage an AAMC audience in an experience-based, data-derived discussion about how to support a growing number of students in pathway programs. Specifically, we share lessons learned from pathway programs at New York University School of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and the Education in Pediatrics Across the Continuum program. Learning Objectives: • Describe the types of support that would benefit students in pathway programs. • Identify existing gaps in student support. • Discuss strategies (both general and program-specific) to address gaps in student support. Facilitator: Boyd Richards Speaker(s): Dorene Balmer, Bob Englander, George Mejicano, Linda Tewksbury

Climate and Culture Across Academic Medicine

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Don't Mismanage the Message: High-Stakes Communication in Academic Medicine and Science (Conv. Center North: 124) It doesn’t matter if you’re a junior or senior faculty member, staff member, or organizational leader — at some point in your career, you are going to engage in high-stakes communication. In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environment, threats to organizational stability are present at every level. Whether it’s unexpected financial challenges, accreditation challenges, the sudden departure of someone in an executive position, or allegations of misconduct, how problems are managed is the key to either gaining the support and trust of colleagues or damaging your reputation and the reputation of your organization. In high-stakes communication, failing to effectively manage a message can leave a legacy of mistrust that becomes part of the organizational culture. When you’re managing the message, you must be prepared to answer four critical and often immediate questions from colleagues and community members: a) What happened? b) What do we do now? c) How is this going to affect us? d) Why should we believe you? This workshop offers participants practical communication skills they can use to support those who turn to them for answers during times of uncertainty. Successfully engaging in high-stakes communication helps faculty, staff, and leaders continue to effectively perform their job duties. Learning Objectives: • Craft messages that address your audience’s needs and build trust instead of creating and perpetuating more organizational chaos. • Be aware of the potential pitfalls of not effectively engaging in high-stakes communication (e.g., increased burnout, declining productivity, perpetuation of false and damaging information). • Explain why choosing the “how” and “when” to share information is integral to organizational stability. Facilitator: Sarah Theresa McGhee Speaker(s): R. Kevin Grigsby, Michael Knecht
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Game Changers: Developing the Next Generation of Equity Leaders (Conv. Center North: 221) The broader sociopolitical context can permeate educational, research, and clinical environments. Movements like #MeToo, White Coats for Black Lives, and others remind us that equity is still a priority and directly impacts academic health centers. Future leaders need to learn to navigate change and foster organizational cultures that advance equity. In light of the 20th commemoration of the Herbert W. Nickens Awards, this session will garner the experiences of Nickens award recipients to demonstrate various pathways in equity leadership across the medical education continuum. Awardees will share insights on their own journeys as equity leaders, explore how academic medicine can better leverage its talent in the development of the next generation of leaders, and share resources to support leadership development that advances equity in our health care systems, research, and communities. Learning Objectives: • Analyze systems-based challenges and opportunities that impact equity. • Recognize core competencies in the development of equity leaders. • Identify key learning opportunities to enhance leadership skills in advancing equity. Facilitator: Keith Norris Speaker(s): Stanley Frencher, Vivian Pinn, Denisse Rojas
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	LCME® Accreditation: Where Does Process End and Outcome Begin? (Conv. Center West: 301 D) The institutional self-study and the external peer review that constitute Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accreditation involve assessment of both processes and outcomes. The goals of this session are to: (1) come to a shared definition and understanding of the differences and linkages among process, balance, and outcome measures; and (2) illustrate the relationship of these measures to the intent of LCME elements and to the overarching purpose of medical education program accreditation. Learning Objectives: • Define and distinguish among process, balance, and outcome measures. • Categorize the intent of selected LCME elements according to their focus on one or more of these measures of programmatic value and success. • Relate these measures to each other and to the overall purpose of medical education program accreditation.

Caring for Abusive Patients: an Ethical and Practical Challenge (Conv. Center North: 231)

In an ideal therapeutic relationship, the doctors should be kind and compassionate and patients should be respectful and actively engaged in their care. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sometimes patients can be demanding, controlling, or verbally and physically abusive, or demonstrate racially or sexually inappropriate behaviors. While professionalism and code of conduct establishes behavior standards for clinicians, such standards so not exist for patients. Junior clinicians and persons of minority backgrounds are disproportionately exposed to these types of subpar patient behaviors. Dealing with disruptive and abusive patients is extremely challenging and can be a source of distress and burnout for clinicians. It can also lead to unconscious alterations in clinicians’ behaviors and thereby compromise patient care. This session will provide an overview of common disruptive behaviors exhibited by patients. We will also discuss a practical framework to intervene respectfully and effectively to decrease unacceptable behaviors and foster mutual respect in clinical interactions.

Learning Objectives:
• Recognize early signs of a potentially disruptive situation with a patient.
• Develop three to five strategies to contain and manage potentially abusive behavior from patients in a clinical setting.
• Understand support and services available to you as a clinician, should you encounter an abusive patient.

She focuses on the illuminating power of moments that shatter our bodies and allow us access to truths. “The Wound is the Gift” is an inspiring talk about how confronting our own mortality and rebuilding ourselves as patients and physicians — through humanism, the arts, and literature — can help us to find meaning and peace. Ultimately, our dependence on each other and our interconnectedness are beautiful. This session is presented by The Arnold P. Gold Foundation and the AAMC. Learning Objectives: • Recognize the way illness and medicine each shape our identity, in productive and destructive ways. • Be able to articulate the value of mutuality in the care of patients for patients and providers. • Identify ways in which the arts and literature can inform our practice. • Reimagine our role in the lives of our patients in terms of an interconnectedness that adds fulfillment to the practice of medicine. Facilitator: Richard I. Levin Speaker(s): Rana Awdish
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	From Education to Action: Integrating Social Justice in Medicine (Conv. Center North: 129) To promote innovation that addresses key health and health care issues in the United States, it is essential for physicians and scientists to understand the impact of social factors in medicine. The need remains to expand the dialogue and practices in academic medicine to address the social inequalities and systemic racism that impact the progression of inclusive environments and equitable communities. This session will feature social justice advocates across the medical education continuum in a fireside chat-style panel interview to examine potential solutions that support a culturally responsive workforce. Panelists will discuss curriculum and experiential training models in advocacy and social medicine, share evaluative data to inform future curricula, and outline key elements of effective partnerships that leverage community engagement. Participants will also engage in a Q&A period. Learning Objectives: • Discuss social medicine approaches used to train health professionals about the social determinants of health and their influence on advancing social justice. • Identify potential multidisciplinary partnerships to improve health professions training in social medicine. • Highlight community advocacy examples that can be initiated by the academic medicine community to enhance education, policies, and programs.

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Nuts and Bolts of AAMC Faculty Roster Data for Program Evaluation and Educational Research (Conv. Center North: 222) Using AAMC data for research offers informative introductory sessions on AAMC data resources, including the Faculty Roster, annually at LSL. In contrast, this session will be a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of how individuals at our member medical schools can actually go about accessing Faculty Roster data pertaining to their medical school’s graduates. Such AAMC Faculty Roster information is of broad interest to medical school admissions committees, curriculum deans, joint-degree (e.g., MD/PhD, MD/MPH) program directors, and educational researchers. These individual-level data can provide valuable program evaluation information and also inform institutionally based curricular innovations and interventions to promote academic medicine career paths among diverse groups of medical-school enrollees. This session will describe in detail how to work with the institutional designated Faculty Roster representative to directly access (cost-free) Faculty Roster data for medical school graduates and will provide participants with the opportunity to engage in a robust discussion of ways that these Faculty Roster data can be used in program evaluation and educational research. Learning Objectives: • Describe how AAMC Faculty Roster data are collected. • Summarize the key role of the institutional Faculty Roster representative in Faculty Roster data access and data protection. • Identify three medical education outcomes that may be addressed using Faculty Roster data for an institution’s medical school graduates. Facilitator: John C. Burkhardt Speaker(s): Hershel Alexander, John Paul Sanchez, Rachel Wolfson
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Reducing Clinician Documentation Burden and Improving the Ease Of Use of Electronic Health Records (Conv. Center North: 122) Physicians and other health care providers have experienced challenges with electronic health systems and numerous regulatory requirements adding to physician burden and contributing to physician burnout. Concerns have been raised related to documentation burden, “note bloat,” the lack of interoperability, and regulatory requirements that do not align with current medical practice. Some studies have shown that physicians are spending more time with patients’ electronic health records (EHRs) than they are with patients. This can be particularly challenging for residents as they rotate through different clinical settings. Despite the burden, there are also many benefits to the use of EHRs and technology. Academic medical centers are taking steps to leverage technology and EHRs and enhance training to save physician time, boost productivity, and increase capacity and thus access to patients. This session will discuss the challenges physicians and residents experience with the use of electronic health systems and what steps are being taken by practices and policymakers to mitigate this burden. In addition to a discussion of improving the ease of use of EHRs, the session will discuss how to train residents and physicians in the best ways to use the EHR. Learning Objectives: • Understand recent initiatives to reduce clinician documentation burden and initiatives implemented by academic medical centers to enhance training and ease the use of EHRs. • Identify steps which could be implemented in your practice to adapt to regulatory changes and improve documentation burden. • Identify opportunities to improve training in the use of EHRs. Speaker(s): Jeffrey Gold
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	United We Thrive: Galvanizing UME and GME Toward Action in the Transition to Residency (Conv. Center North: 124) Stakeholders in undergraduate and graduate medical education have a shared goal of students matching in specialties and programs that align with their skills, talents, interests, and values. However, limited opportunities for solution-oriented communication and misaligned or competing priorities sometimes result in increased anxiety, frustration, and lack of trust. This session will provide space for facilitated discussions across these stakeholder groups. The session will open with a brief overview of the current landscape presented by constituent leaders from student affairs, residency affairs, and medical students. Attendees will then participate in a series of semi-structured, small group discussions on “hot” topics, including: • What insights and advice can medical schools offer programs to help them meet the new ACGME diversity standards? • Insights and perspectives from the Invitational Conference on USMLE Scoring (InCUS) and the role and impact of the United States Medical Licensing Examination.• Holistic review and residency selection. • Creating and sustaining positive and inclusive clinical learning environments for students and residents. • Developing a healthy and constructive residency interview culture and processes.Each table group will be asked to identify opportunities for collaboration as well as research or data needed to make progress on that particular topic. The table discussions will be followed by full group debrief focused on reporting out research and data needs as well as potential solutions and opportunities for increased communication and collaboration. Learning Objectives: • Understand the nuanced perspectives and challenges experienced by other stakeholders. • Suggest research and data needed to make progress on key issues related to transition to residency. • Propose shared goals and opportunities for improved communication and collaboration between stakeholders in undergraduate and graduate medical education. Facilitator: Tsveti Markova Speaker(s): Wanda Lipscomb
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Workplace-Based Assessment: Considering Both the Merits and Challenges When Using the Core EPAs (Conv. Center North: 221) Workplace-based assessments (WBAs) offer the ability to assess what a trainee “does” in an authentic workplace, rather than what the trainee “can do” in a controlled setting such as an Objective Structured Clinical ExaminationWBAs are typically described as formative and most effective when paired with feedback to help the learner grow and develop related to the competency being assessed. Three dominant problems with WBA implementation are: (1) poor understanding of the purpose of the WBA, (2) insufficient time for assessment and feedback, (3) inadequate assessor training. These problems have led to negativity toward WBAs by trainees. Utilizing the Core Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) framework has the potential to address each of these problems. Many medical schools are implementing, or considering how to implement, the Core EPA framework within their undergraduate medical education programs, often with a mixture of simulations and WBAs. Institutions are struggling with content, process, logistics, and resources. Several schools participating in the Core EPA pilot have implemented Core EPA-based WBAs at their institutions. Workshop leaders will share lessons learned, as well as help participants solve practical problems and overcome barriers to using the Core EPA framework to address WBA. The session is designed to be practical, flexible, and interactive so that common challenges are optimally addressed. Learning Objectives: • Describe the rationale for and the attributes of effective WBA. • Compare and contrast Core EPA-based WBA with other types of WBA. • Outline different strategies and scales that can be used in Core EPA-based WBA.

Climate and Culture Across Academic Medicine

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Charting New Territories to Increase Diversity in Medicine (Conv. Center North: 131) Advancing diversity is a key priority for our academic health centers. Medical schools invest in a range of programs and initiatives as early as elementary school through graduate medical education to attract diverse talent. However, data show that there is still work to be done to increase the representation of black/African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Latinos in medicine. These three racial/ethnic groups only account for 13% of the total medical school enrollment reported during the 2018-2019 academic year, according to the AAMC. This percentage has remained fairly constant despite the growth of medical schools. This session will feature solutions that include unique partnerships and collaborations aimed at reaching deeper into various communities to identify and engage talent. These partnerships will include community-based alliances, statewide coalitions, and relationships with non-profits in sectors outside of medicine. Participants will have the opportunity to join a table based on their interests, assess current efforts with an inventory, and leave with a roadmap to seek and establish additional partnerships. Learning Objectives: • Amplify the need for solution-focused strategies by considering trends in data of diversity in medicine by race and ethnicity over the past 40 years. • Distinguish key characteristics of effective collaborations based on panelist testimonies and the use of measurements and data demonstrating success. • Translate and apply a set of strategies to enhance strategic partnerships and collaborations at home institutions. Speaker(s): Amanda Bruegl, Ronald Garcia, Brian Hainline
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Leadership Development: Creating a Business Strategy in an Environment of Uncertainty (Conv. Center North: 121) The level of change, complexity, and uncertainty that exists in academic medicine today requires strategic decision-making skills at all levels of leadership in order to secure the future. Yet, how do you move forward as a leader when you don’t have all the answers? How can you increase the probability of a good outcome when you don’t know how uncertainties are going to play out? This session will focus on personal leadership, but at the strategic level, by enhancing your strategic agility and helping you bridge the gap between strategy and execution (research shows that 70 percent of strategic initiatives fail during execution!). This session is applicable to all leaders working in academic medical centers. Learning Objectives: • Recognize the need for strategic agility in decision-making and execution. • Evaluate the vulnerability of strategic initiatives in the context of key uncertainties. • Dispel common myths about strategic planning and execution. Facilitator: Constance Filling Speaker(s): Kathy Pearson, John Tomkowiak
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Organizational Approaches to Advancing Women in Leadership (Conv. Center North: 224) Despite gender parity among matriculants to medical school and an overrepresentation of women at early career stages, percentages of women in leadership roles, such as department chairs and medical school deans, remain stagnant (and very low). Disparities between male and female faculty in achieving senior academic rank and leadership persist after controlling for age, time since training, specialty, and measures of productivity. As organizations committed to developing a culturally competent workforce to care for increasingly diverse patient populations, medical schools and teaching hospitals must address systemic structural and cultural practices that impact gender diversity in leadership roles across academic medicine. This session will examine key systemic organizational practices that impact gender diversity at the leadership level, including organizational conceptions of and perspectives on what it means to be an effective leader; opportunities for mentorship and sponsorship; and processes related to recruitment and promotion. Participants will be challenged to consider the impact of gendered distinctions in leadership competencies on the devaluation of women’s leadership skills, and speakers will explore institutional approaches to mitigating biases in identifying, developing, and advancing leaders. Learning Objectives: • Describe the impact of how organizations conceptualize, describe, and communicate about leadership on institutional culture. • Identify gendered distinctions in leadership competencies. • Describe approaches for addressing systemic organizational practices that impact gender diversity in leadership roles across academic medicine.

Burned Out: Learners, Physicians, and Systems (Conv. Center West: 301 AB)

We all know the statistics: medical students, residents, and physicians are at risk of elevated rates of burnout, depression, and suicide. This isn’t only a crisis for the profession; the end results for patients are also troubling, as burnout is associated with a greater risk of medical error, significant morbidity, and even increased patient mortality.

The good news is there are many individual, institutional, national, and international initiatives now addressing the problem. Continued research and evidence-based studies move us forward. We all agree that the optimal scenario is one where faculty, staff, and learners feel supported and well-treated, where diversity, inclusion, and health equity are promoted, and where patient care and outcomes improve as our caregivers feel fulfilled in their work.

While the alarms have been sounded, and there is much progress, much work remains. In this session, you will hear two perspectives on what has to be done to decrease burnout. Dr. Stephen Klasko, president of Thomas Jefferson and CEO of Jefferson Health, and Dr. Caroline Elton, a psychologist who has devoted her practice to supporting medical students and physicians, will discuss the causes and consequences of burnout. Both have called for reform of the systems, culture, and norms that contribute to current epidemic of burnout in the medical profession.

Blueprints for Success: Promoting American Indians and Alaskan Natives in Medicine (Conv. Center North: 222)

The growth of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) in academic medicine is minimal at best. AIAN students represented 0.76% of matriculants in 2018-2017, they make up 0.48% of full-time faculty members at MD-granting institutions, and AIAN doctors represent less than 0.56% of active physicians in the United States. While the numbers of AIAN members in academic medicine is small, the needs of their community are great. Academic medicine has a unique opportunity to address the detrimental health disparities endured by native and indigenous populations. In October 2018, the AAMC published Reshaping the Journey: American Indians and Alaskan Natives in Medicine. The report had the stated goal of “creating meaningful dialogue to explore and innovate ways to look forward” in the realm of AIAN representation and health outcomes.

The goal of this session is to understand the experiences of American Indian and Alaska Native individuals within the Indian Health Service, discuss pipeline issues and recruitment, highlight institutions that effectively recruit AIAN students, and showcase institutions that integrate AIAN health into their curriculum. With Learn Serve Lead 2019: The AAMC Annual Meeting ocurring in a region with a high AIAN population, we hope to engage the community in this important discussion and that all participants, regardless of proximity to native and indigenous communities, feel empowered to make academic medicine a more inclusive and better place for both communities.

Learning Objectives:
• Understand the experiences of American Indian and Alaskan Native patients within the Indian Health Service.
• Highlight curriculums that include experiences of AIAN populations.
• Highlight medical schools that actively recruit AIAN students and integrate AIAN health into their curriculum.

The Empowered Health Care Consumer: What Does it Mean for Transparency and Patient Care? (Conv. Center North: 221)

Over the past several years, much has been discussed about the need to engage patients as consumers of health care and empower them to make the best (i.e., rational) decisions about their care, considering cost and quality. This has led to a wave of transparency efforts over the past few years, including the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services releasing the Overall Hospital Quality Star Ratings, requiring hospitals to publicly post pricing information on their websites, and pushing payers and providers to effortlessly share data with patients in patient-preferred apps. But questions remain: Can we transform patients into empowered consumers? And if we can, will it change the health care marketplace for the better? This session aims to open a dialogue of where we are with health care consumerism, where we might be going, and if it is working.

The session format will begin with short presentations from each speaker with different perspectives — one from the AAMC’s regulatory team sharing regulatory efforts to push transparency and patient engagement, one from a consumer policy analyst on how these efforts do (or do not) meet the needs of patients and consumers, and another from a patient experience officer at a member hospital/health system on how they’re implementing transparency efforts and what impact they’re having. This will be followed by a facilitated discussion that will be engaging and interactive, suited to giving attendees a better framework to think of care delivery for the “new” health care consumer.

Learning Objectives:
• Better understand what information patients and consumers want to better engage with their own care.
• Identify ways health systems and providers can engage an empowered consumer.
• Evaluate new policy ideas aimed at empowering patients and consumers.

Rethinking Health System and Research Collaboration to Improve Health (Conv. Center North: 224)

This session will identify how to develop institutional capacity to advance learning health systems and health system function by advancing integration of clinical care with research and resident education. Speakers will discuss development of learning health system infrastructure (such as data warehouses) and systematic approaches that engage clinicians, learners, and researchers that improve health system outcomes. Specific examples presented will illustrate how collaboration between researchers, health system leaders, interprofessional care providers, and learners across the educational continuum supports the rapid adoption of evidence-based solutions for improving health. Speakers will describe the establishment of cooperative relationships and enduring institutional structures (such as translational research centers) that support successful health improvement, education, and research.

Learning Objectives:
• Identify elements of a learning health system and how to successfully engage collaborative research, clinical, and education partners in health system improvement activities.
• Construct approaches that facilitate engagement of leaders and support collaborative structures and activities that enhance solutions that improve health.
• Adapt presented implementation strategies for your own research, education, and health care environments.

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Addressing and Evaluating for Unconscious Bias in the MSPE (Conv. Center North: 132) Unconscious biases are learned stereotypes that affect behavior. Unconscious bias affects the residency application process. The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) is one source of written unconscious bias that can affect how an applicant is viewed before granting (or not granting) an interview. A standardization of comments or an understanding of unconscious bias will help improve the objectivity of the MSPE. In this workshop, participants will learn how unconscious bias can affect writing the MSPE as well as reading the MSPE. Learning Objectives: • Understand and learn how to recognize unconscious bias in an MSPE. • Apply strategies to decrease unconscious bias. • Construct better narrative comments with decreased bias for the MSPE.

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Carrots, Not Sticks: Applying Motivation Theories to Faculty Development for Sustained Engagement (Conv. Center North: 229) Engagement in faculty development efforts is consistently challenging. Needs assessments are valuable but fall short in identifying what motivates faculty to engage in their own professional development. Tailoring faculty development to individuals’ motivations can encourage persistence and productivity. Ignoring it, however, could contribute to burnout. In this session, participants will critically review their faculty development from the lens of motivation theory and creatively amend their professional development to leverage prosocial and intrinsic motivation of faculty. Learning Objectives: • Describe prosocial motivation and intrinsic motivation, particularly through the lens of self-determination theory, including ways to increase motivation. • Describe how our current professional development programs align with prosocial and intrinsic motivation of faculty, using a case example as a guide. • Apply concepts of prosocial and self-determination theory (SDT) to faculty development at participants’ institutions in ways that may increase the prosocial and intrinsic motivation of faculty.

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Developing Faculty in a Transformative World: Where We Need to Go (Conv. Center North: 129) Faculty today face new and evolving challenges, not only in their own lifelong learning journey, but also in their critical roles as trainers of medical students, residents, and other learners. Many faculty feel overwhelmed by an increasingly large and complex health care system. Academic-business partnerships create a tension between our role as educators and scholars with the increasing demands to generate revenue. Challenges also arise from the recognition that yesterday’s teaching methodologies do not meet the educational needs of today’s learners. We have seen a shift toward competency-based medical education leading to a shared competency framework throughout the continuum of medical education (undergraduate and graduate medical education and continuing professional development). As we are faced with these changes, how do we promote them, integrate them into the existing complexities of the health care system, and transform the educational curriculum across the continuum? Learning Objectives: • Describe and locate current data sources and how these sources might be leveraged to promote institutional change that creates a culture supporting professional development of all faculty. • Explain promising practices and new strategies for faculty development in the context of lifelong learning and the continuum of medical education. • Develop an action plan with at least one actionable item to bring to your institution’s faculty and leadership that aligns with your institutional strategies and priorities. Facilitator: William Rayburn Speaker(s): Randa Kutob, Allison Rentfro, Emily Vinas
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Discussion of Recommendations From the Invitational Conference on USMLE Scoring (InCUS) (Conv. Center West: 301 C) The March 2019 Invitational Conference on USMLE Scoring (InCUS) sought input on scoring of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) in the context of the entire transition to residency ecosystem. A summary of the conference and current status of the recommendations will be reviewed, and input will be sought from participants. For each draft recommendation, we will solicit thoughts on pros and cons and on unintended consequences. In addition, we will seek input on the relative priority and impact of each recommendation. Learning Objectives: • Describe the goals, process, and outcomes of InCUS. • Understand the complex system of the transition to residency and the current role of USMLE scoring in that system. • Provide input on next steps in further exploring the recommendations from the conference. Speaker(s): Michael Barone, David Johnson
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Engaging Learners and Leaders in System Change to Align Medical Education and Quality of Care (Conv. Center North: 231) The quality of care delivered in the clinical learning environment can influence future physician practices; graduates from organizations with better patient outcomes tend to themselves have better patient outcomes. Thus, one important strategy to improve health care quality is to give greater attention to improving educational experiences related to health systems improvement within the clinical learning environment. Linking health system goals and changes to undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education all along the continuum represents an underutilized strategy. During this session, participants will discuss the relationship between education and patient care quality outcomes, participate in interactive discussions to explore opportunities to engage learners and leaders in system change, and develop an action plan that they can take back to their home institutions to more meaningfully integrate and align their medical education and health care quality goals. The educational continuum from UME to GME to CME will be addressed. Learning Objectives: • Describe the bidirectional relationship between education and quality of care, with a specific focus on mechanisms to bridge the two spheres to enhance the clinical learning environment. • Identify opportunities and overcome barriers that prevent learners and leaders from co-creating system changes to improve the quality of patient care. • Develop an action plan to implement structural and process changes at your home institution to better integrate and align medical education with local and national health care quality imperatives.

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Virtual Families: Enhanced Student Learning—Social Determinants of Health and Person-Centered Care (Conv. Center North: 124) Although virtual patients have a well-established role in medical education, it is only in recent years that the concept of Virtual families (VFs) has emerged as an approach that can play an important role in educating our learners about social determinants of health, high-value care, and person-centered care. This session will introduce the concept of VFs, describe several different approaches to curricular integration of VFs, and provide opportunities for participants to discuss in detail the opportunities and challenges in implementing VF curricula. The session will start with an audience poll about participants’ beliefs about family systems and the role of the family in health-centered outcomes. Audience responses will inform the brief overview that will follow by the session moderator on the role for VFs in medical education. Three presentations by faculty at institutions that have developed and implemented innovative VFs curricula, with an emphasis on examples that are low-cost, adaptable, and evidence-informed, will be followed by small group breakouts for more detailed discussion and knowledge-sharing around the feasibility, considerations, and the challenges of implementing VFs curricula in medical education. Learning Objectives: • Articulate the value and assess the feasibility of using virtual families in the undergraduate to graduate medical education (UME-GME) continuum. • Assess the value of virtual families as a means to teach social determinants of health and social risks-related concepts in the UME-GME continuum. • Identify steps involved in designing virtual families specific to institutional contexts.

From being recruited by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop relationships between health science schools in the United States and sub-Saharan Africa, establishing the first Western health care system that provided training in China, and all the way to leading the adoption of innovations which served as the foundation for the Next Accreditation System of the ACGME, attendees will hear about Dr. Kolar’s extraordinary career as a medical educator. Facilitator: Larry D. Gruppen Speaker(s): Joseph C. Kolars

Climate and Culture Across Academic Medicine

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Belonging, Identity, and Well-Being in Academic Medicine (Conv. Center North: 121) Learners bring multiple identities to campus — some visible and some invisible — such as being an activist, a person who has a disability, underrepresented minority in medicine, first-generation college student, rural, non-traditional, military, second career, etc. The medical school context, combined with societal messaging, can affect how students navigate these salient identities. This session looks at data from the Medical School Year Two Questionnaire to explore the degree to which learners’ feelings of belonging and of being welcomed and supported in relation to their self-identification impact their ability to thrive. As current medical students, resident physicians, administrators, and institutions that have made structural changes or thought critically about the potential benefits of structural change engage in dialogue, session participants will be invited to discuss promising practices that foster an inclusive learning environment that can support student belonging, well-being, and success. Learning Objectives: • Describe theories of belonging and identity development in relation to student well-being. • Recognize the importance of institutional structures and messaging to support learner well-being and the impact negative messaging can have on students from historically marginalized communities. • Identify institutional models based on outcomes data that embrace learner identities, foster belonging, and lead to student thriving. Facilitator: David McIntosh Speaker(s): Donovan Talawepi Chase The Bear, Lee Jones, Annelle Primm, Marika Tate
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Moving From Analysis to Action: Faculty Salary Equity as a Component of Gender Equity Strategies (Conv. Center West: 301 D) Studies across academic medicine, including the AAMC’s recent publication Promising Practices for Understanding and Addressing Salary Equity in U.S. Medical Schools (April 2019), illustrate that salary inequities exist between men and women faculty. As institutions that have been engaged in exploring issues of salary equity have learned, addressing salary equity must go beyond salary analysis and financial adjustments to address systemic and operational issues of gender equity. This session will set the context of gender equity issues by sharing national AAMC data trends on faculty salary equity, faculty promotions, and faculty perceptions of equity in the workplace. Speakers will share promising practices of how their institutions have contextualized salary equity as a piece of larger strategies to advance gender equity. Practices shared will include interventions address salary equity, as well as, promote the successful recruitment, development, and advancement of women; address allocation of faculty effort; development of workplace policies that support faculty with families (e.g. childcare, child related facilities etc.); and implementation of flexible faculty appointments. Learning Objectives: • Explain how faculty salary equity is one component of a robust gender equity strategy. • Identify the operational and systemic issues that impact faculty salary equity and, more broadly, gender equity in academic medicine. • Discuss promising practices for implementing a multipronged approach to advancing faculty salary equity within the context of gender equity.

A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart (Conv. Center North: 301 AB)

Long before he became a neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, and philanthropist, James R. Doty, MD, was contemplating how the brain and heart are connected. Now, as the director of Stanford’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE), he and his team focus on the neuroscience of compassion, altruism, and empathy.

In his compelling New York Times best-selling memoir Into the Magic Shop: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart, Dr. Doty chronicles his journey from a young child growing up in poverty to incredible success as a neurosurgeon and entrepreneur. Much more than a biography, Dr. Doty discusses how we can fundamentally change our lives by changing our brains and our hearts.

In this talk, Dr. Doty will share his personal story while also discussing the Center’s research which documents the value proposition of kindness and compassion regarding health, wellness, and longevity.

Center North: 120) We often hear that today’s political and social environment couldn’t be any more divisive, and a look and listen at the daily news and sound bites are a constant reminder. It’s this exact environment that spurred presidential historian Jon Meacham to write The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels. By doing so, he reminds us that protests, divisive politics, and political acrimony have been near constant in the Unites States. In this nonpartisan, anecdotally rich talk, Meacham will detail previous moments of crisis and partisan deadlock in American history and suggest how previous generations transcended hours of fear by heeding what Lincoln called “the better angels of our nature.” Meacham will provide historic case studies ranging from Reconstruction and President Grant, to women’s suffrage and President Wilson, to the crisis of the 1930s and FDR, to the passage of civil rights legislation under LBJ. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, Meacham’s perspectives will benefit our understanding of today’s contentious climate and serve as a starting point for reflective conversations that we can take back home with us.

Value of Academic Health Systems

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM

Finding Value in Community Health: the Business Case for Social Interventions (Conv. Center North: 131)

This session will begin with short presentations from three speakers with diverse backgrounds — a payor, a member hospital/health system, and a policymaker — followed by a moderated panel discussion. The session speakers will engage the audience by describing their work on the ground to improve community health. They will share practical details about the implementation of their efforts and describe both successes and obstacles.

Each speaker perspective has a unique experience to share, but all will focus on some common themes such as what they and their teams did in the past, what they are currently doing , and what they plan to do in the future. Each speaker will also present evidence that their effort benefited communities and populations. The payor perspective will focus on what's next in innovation and how it will affect the community. The health system perspective will detail how the health system targeted certain populations, how stakeholders knew it was working, and how to duplicate the effort. The policymaker perspective will explain recent trends and the direction of future policy. Questions during the panel will focus on a range of topics, such as what the speaker plans to do next, how success was measured, how participants can translate the effort to their own work, why investing in community health is the model of the future, and how to evaluate the effects of community health on your alternative payment model effort and bottom line.

Learning Objectives:
• Demonstrate how engaging in new payment models can change the incentive for addressing social determinants of health.
• Gather tools to operationalize community health efforts with data.
• Describe how teaching hospitals are leading the way on integrated health systems for population/prevention/social risk.

Educating Physicians and Scientists

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Clinical Care Innovations in Response to the Opioid Epidemic: Redefining Pain Management (Conv. Center North: 224) Drug overdoses are rapidly increasing. They are the leading cause of death due to non-intentional injury and the leading cause of mortality for Americans under 50. Every day, more than 130 people in the United States die after overdosing on opioids. This issue has become a public health crisis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total economic burden of prescription opioid misuse in the United States, which includes the costs of health care, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement, is $78.5 billion a year. Historically, clinicians were reassured opioids were not addictive and there was a push to ensure patients’ pain was appropriately managed. The pain scale became the fifth vital sign and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services measured patient satisfaction based on how well a patient’s pain was managed, thereby incentivizing the reduction or elimination of pain. Now, we are in the middle of a substance abuse crisis and this epidemic has caused a broad re-thinking of how clinicians manage pain. What are appropriate pain management protocols? What are appropriate opioid prescribing patterns? How do we work across care settings — in the hospital, in the community, and in the home — to manage this patient population? How do we ensure our learners are part of the new protocols? This session will look at some of the innovative clinical interventions that address these questions. Participants will hear about what worked and, in some cases, the unintended consequences of implementing new programs and policies. Learning Objectives: • Describe how member teaching hospitals have changed their approach to pain management. • Describe various interventions aimed at monitoring physician opioid prescribing practices. • Identify ways in which member teaching hospitals are working with their community to address the opioid epidemic. Speakers: Kelly Barth, Phillip Chang
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Design Thinking and Medical Education: Untapping Creative Potential for Curricular Innovation (Conv. Center West: 301 C) This session will introduce medical educators to design thinking as a framework for innovation and transformation in the medical school and across the health care ecosystem. Medical education programs face the ubiquitous challenge of repeated calls for curricular innovation. Questions such as, “How might we redesign our curriculum to better meet individual student needs?” or, “How might we create a 21st century learning experience for our medical students?” are being asked by educators around the world. These are challenging questions not easily answered by a traditional approach to curriculum development and reform. Design thinking is as a non-linear problem-solving strategy for finding solutions that puts end-users — in our case, learners — first and has recently been applied to health care and medical education. It is a continuous learning process that includes a series of techniques and principles that encourages empathy, collaboration, and problem-solving. The methodology aligns well with other movements within our field, both incorporating a human-centered approach to education and incorporating more qualitative and divergent thinking. One compelling reason for applying design thinking principles over more traditional curricular development methods is that it offers a faster way to arrive at testable, creative, human-centered prototypes or concepts for piloting. Learning Objectives: • Define the key concepts of design thinking. • Experience a hands-on application of design thinking to a selected problem. • Apply design thinking to your own area of work.

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Developing a Coaching Program That Works for Your Learners: Practical Considerations (Conv. Center North: 231) Currently, many institutions are considering creating coaching programs or modifying existing advising programs to incorporate coaching concepts. Faculty and administrators, however, may be more familiar with more traditional models of supporting learners, such as advising or mentoring. In this session, participants will identify their goals for incorporating coaching into their medical education programs and fine-tune their objectives, scope, and budget. Learning Objectives: • Articulate the benefits of coaching, as unique from mentoring and advising, in supporting competency-based education and resilience in learners. • Describe the necessary operational elements of a successful coaching program, such as budget, availability of electronic learner data, learner and faculty development, and program evaluation. • Develop an outline for creating or improving a coaching program at your own institution.

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Do You Know the Difference Between a Theory, a Theoretical Framework, and a Conceptual Framework? (Conv. Center North: 221) Language is at the core of the scientific expertise, yet much confusion exists in health research around the terms “theory,” “theoretical framework,” and “conceptual framework.” This session aims to clarify these terms across different research paradigms: objectivist deductive and subjectivist inductive. To ensure understanding, participants will engage in small group activities and large group discussion. Participants will leave the session with a co-constructed infographic summarizing insights from the session. Learning Objectives: • Describe and contrast theoretical frameworks. • Explain how two key approaches — inductive and deductive — use theory and frameworks differently. • Apply the new knowledge to your own work: identify whether and how you use theory, develop frameworks, and engage in deductive research, inductive research, or both.

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	ECFMG’s 2023 Requirement: Impact Globally and on the U.S. Physician Workforce (Conv. Center North: 129) This session will inform the U.S. and international academic medicine community about the ECFMG 2023 requirement that applicants for ECFMG Certification must be graduates of an international medical school that has been accredited by a World Federation of Medical Education (WFME)-recognized accrediting body. The requirement is intended to encourage the development and implementation of standards for evaluating undergraduate medical education to provide greater assurance to both medical students and the public that undergraduate medical students will be trained appropriately. This session will include three perspectives: (1) ECFMG will provide an update on the countries that have a WFME-recognized accrediting body, (2) a national accrediting agency will outline the pathway to obtaining WFME recognition, and (3) a residency program director from a U.S. hospital that accepts large numbers of international medical graduates will share the potential impact the 2023 ruling may have on their programs. Following the presentations, attendees will discuss the following topics: 1. What are the pros and cons of a global medical education accreditation system? 2. Given the number of international medical graduates that constitute the U.S. residency workforce, what impact will this policy have on the future residency applicant pool? 3. What impact will this policy have on the current physician workforce shortage in the United States? 4. What role might the U.S. academic medicine community play to raise global awareness of the WFME accreditation requirement and how can it assist national and regional accrediting bodies to apply for WFME recognition? Learning Objectives: • Describe the ECFMG 2023 requirement and the purpose of the new global policy. • Become familiar with the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME) accreditation guidelines and process for international accrediting bodies. • Identify actions that individuals or U.S. academic medical centers can take to accelerate the number of WFME-recognized accrediting bodies globally.

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Educational Research, Program Evaluation, and Educational CQI Infrastructure: Does One Size Fit All? (Conv. Center North: 229) LCME Standard 1.1 requires that medical schools engage “in ongoing planning and continuous quality improvement (CQI) processes that establish short and long-term programmatic goals, result in the achievement of measurable outcomes that are used to improve programmatic quality, and ensure effective monitoring of the medical education program’s compliance with accreditation standards.” To achieve this standard, medical schools are seeking the best approach to facilitating education CQI. Educational CQI activities overlap with education research/scholarship and program evaluation, so the best approach may be to unify infrastructure for these three related activities, rather than maintaining a separate educational CQI office or unit. This session will discuss reasons for considering a unified infrastructure approach, emerging functional models regarding administration and staffing, pragmatic approaches to building on existing resources, and exemplar tools and processes to do so. Three speakers will present different institutional infrastructure models for research/scholarship, program evaluation, and educational CQI activities. Members of the Society of Directors of Research in Medical Education will then facilitate small-group discussions that address the following: 1. Are there opportunities for synergy or greater efficiency in combining infrastructure for these related activities? 2. What are potential pitfalls to a unified infrastructure? 3. What is the case to be made to medical school leadership to support a robust infrastructure that facilitates medical education research/scholarship, program evaluation, and LCME-mandated educational program CQI? Learning Objectives: • Describe how educational CQI, educational research, and program evaluation are closely related activities at medical institutions. • Identify two potential advantages and two potential disadvantages of a unified model for all three activities (educational CQI, educational research, and program evaluation). • Define three ways to assess the effectiveness of your current institutional infrastructure/capacity for these related activities.

10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	Effective Institutional Models for Addressing, Reducing, and Preventing Student Mistreatment (Conv. Center West: 301 D) Over the past several years, in response to institutional data, LCME standards, and increasing concern about student and physician well-being, medical schools have intensified their commitment to creating learning environments in which students do not experience mistreatment or negative behaviors. But many challenges remain; students — especially women and students from underrepresented or marginalized populations — continue to report experiences of mistreatment. There is interest in learning about effective models and practices to reduce and prevent these negative behaviors. This session will first provide an overview of the national mistreatment data from the AAMC Graduation Questionnaire. Three schools will then highlight their approaches to addressing mistreatment, including data collection strategies, intervention models, methods for providing feedback to key stakeholder groups, outcomes data, and lessons learned. The presentations will be followed by small-group discussions about different challenges institutions face in developing and implementing effective interventions: • Data collection across multiple channels and systems. • Interventions, training, and learning approaches. • Targeted intervention for mistreatment based on gender, race, or ethnicity. • Strategies and tactics for highly distributed campuses or programs with large numbers of community faculty. • Evaluating progress and success. • Creating feedback loops with key constituencies. Learning Objectives: • Summarize the national data related to student mistreatment. • Describe effective models and practices for institutional interventions to address and prevent student mistreatment. • Identify approaches and metrics for evaluating progress and success relative to reducing and preventing mistreatment. Facilitator: Anne Gill Speaker(s): George Blackall, Howard Fleit, James Lau
10:30 AM - 11:45 AM	The Evolving Role of Physician Leaders in Academic Health Systems (Conv. Center North: 121) In an era of increasing consolidation of health care systems, which are often built around academic health centers, there is increasing emphasis on the financial margin and survival in a competitive health care business environment. Seemingly, the roles and skills of physicians have become less apparent among the leadership ranks of these organizations. Considering that an increasing focus on business performance and financial success can consume faculty effort previously devoted to teaching and research, it is arguably more important than ever that physicians are prominently positioned as health system leaders to preserve and cultivate the academic mission. In some systems, it has become the norm to separate physician leadership for the clinical enterprise from the academic chair, who oversees only education and research. In this context, it is compelling to discuss the requisites and imperatives of physician leadership in tomorrow’s academic health systems as a necessary component to ensure the viability and success of the academic mission in these large organizations. Learning Objectives: • Learn about the critical responsibilities and opportunities for physician leaders at different organizational levels in contemporary academic health systems. • Understand the unique and indispensable roles of physician leaders in academic health systems. • Learn the ways in which physician leadership can effectively nurture and support a thriving academic mission in large aggregated health systems.

The Privileged Poor: Race, Class, and Higher Education (Conv. Center West: 301 AB)

Drawing from his recently published book, The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students, Anthony Jack, PhD, will discuss how class and culture shape how students navigate college by exploring the “experiential core of college life,” those too-often overlooked moments between getting in and graduating. Dr. Jack will shed new light on how inequality is reproduced by contrasting the experiences of the “Privileged Poor,” lower-income students who graduate from boarding, day, and preparatory high schools, and the “Doubly Disadvantaged,” lower-income undergraduates who graduate from public, typically distressed high schools.

Medical schools devote significant resources to diversify their own student populations — and ultimately the physician workforce. While our student populations have already managed the undergraduate university experience, that doesn’t mean that the playing field has suddenly become equal in medical school. What implications does Dr. Jack’s research have for professional education, our medical school campuses, and the support systems within our institutions? And how can this research challenge some of the steps we have already taken and get us closer to a welcoming culture and climate for all?

Protecting Research Integrity in International Collaboration: Safeguarding Open Science (Conv. Center North: 221)

Science is an open and international endeavor, and America’s prosperity and global influence has been strengthened by U.S. universities and medical schools in their roles as hubs for international scholarship and knowledge dissemination. At the same time, the U.S. government has an obligation to ensure that national resources and intellectual property generated by university research are appropriately safeguarded, particularly from nations that are potential adversaries. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has detected specific ways in which the integrity of the research system can be compromised by a foreign power. A working group under the Advisory Committee to the NIH Director, co-chaired by Dr. Roy Wilson, released findings and recommendations for the NIH in protecting the integrity of the research system. This session will look at ways that medical schools, as partners with the NIH, can respond to defend against undue influence while protecting the open nature of our research system.

Learning Objectives:
• Describe the types of breaches or concerns identified by the NIH working group (e.g., undisclosed relationships between faculty or trainees and other governments, laboratories, and research entities).
• Describe three or four interventions that NIH is implementing to address concerns about threats to research integrity from other nations.
• Describe the importance and benefits of international scholarship.
• Promote awareness of threats to research integrity, identify ways to guard against foreign interference without feeding xenophobic sensitivities in our current environment, and provide examples of benefits of international collaboration.

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Institutional Perspectives on the Support of Complex Simulations (Conv. Center North: 121) Complex medical simulations differ from other session types due to a variety of factors: They can be more expensive to execute, require greater resources, require more and varied personnel, and can be difficult to schedule. The combination of all these factors make running these simulation sessions complex and difficult. So why would simulation centers take these on? Complex health care simulations can offer unique benefits that make the effort pay off for learners. Two examples of complex medical simulations are boot camps and interprofessional education (IPE). Boot camps are aimed at learners at major transition points, such as beginning clerkships, graduating medical school and beginning residency, and transitioning to regular practice after residency. Boot camps focus intensively on the procedural and decision-making skills that will be necessary in the next phase and can require acquiring a large number of skills in a short amount of time. IPE is training that takes place as a team that more closely resembles the actual practice of multi-disciplinary health care teams. Bringing these teams together can be difficult due to conflicting schedules and varied training goals. This multidisciplinary expert panel will discuss the challenges for simulation programs in supporting these sessions and suggest pathways to achieve the necessary high impact on learners. The panel will include perspectives from simulation leadership, faculty, education, technology support, business, and institutional administration. Learning Objectives: • List benefits for both boot camps and IPE simulation sessions. • List challenges in running boot camps and IPE sessions. • Describe ways to secure necessary resources to support these complex simulation sessions.

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	The Role of Med Ed in Facing the Opioid Epidemic: Results of a National Action-Oriented Workshop (Conv. Center West: 301 C) Opioid misuse has devastated communities across the country, and collaborative efforts are underway to stem the tide of opioid and substance use disorders. Through their missions of education, research, and clinical care, the nation’s medical schools and teaching hospitals are actively responding to this public health crisis and preparing the next generation of health care professionals to address the epidemic. The AAMC has been actively working to support its members in their tripartite efforts. This session will emphasize the medical education efforts and share the results of a national workshop, held in May and funded with help from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which was designed to share successful practices, approaches, and responses among educators, clinicians, and future physicians. The workshop also included a call to action that encouraged medical schools to commit to improving curricular practices or sharing effective strategies externally. During this session, attendees will learn about the strategic efforts by the AAMC and will hear directly from several workshop attendees about their commitments teaching about pain and opioid use disorder. The session will include a gallery walk, which will depict the numerous resources available to educators. The recipients of the mini-grants program will be invited to share three-minute teasers of their nascent grant-funded projects. Before closing, attendees will be invited to either commit to action (those not in attendance at the May workshop) or extend their actions beyond what was proposed (those in attendance). Learning Objectives: • Outline the strategic actions taken by the AAMC to delineate and advance the medical education response to the opioid epidemic. • Commit to act in one or more ways to advance local curricular efforts in response to the opioid epidemic. • Critique educational resources that are readily and freely available for integration at your local institutions.

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	Using Educational Data Across the Continuum of Medical Education (Conv. Center North: 122) Decisions about collecting, using, and sharing educational data can have a great effect on trainees, educators, administrators, and institutions. In this session, speakers will describe their institution’s educational data program, starting with the data they collect and the reasons they collect those data. Speakers then will discuss who has access to those data and the portfolios they use to collect and share data, issues that have emerged (including institutional review board issues, among others) and how they have been addressed, and any next steps they are planning. Speakers will offer diverse perspectives from across the continuum of medical education and describe educational data programs at both the individual institution level and the multi-institution/consortia level. Learning Objectives: • Understand current uses of educational data across one or more institutions. • Compare three main levels of educational data collection and use — individual institution, multi-institution/consortia, and national. • Discuss key considerations affecting educational data collection and use, including institutional review board issues, the differences between using identified and deidentified data, and who has access to individual level data. Facilitator: Beth Nelson Speaker(s): Judith Brenner, Brian George, George Mejicano
1:15 PM - 2:30 PM	What Is Continuing Professional Development? Shifting the Paradigm from CME to CPD (Conv. Center North: 124) Changes in health care delivery necessitate an expanding vision for the ongoing professional learning of all clinicians. Continuing professional development (CPD) includes all of the learning activities that health professionals need to fulfill their dynamic and changing roles in the current health care environment. CPD encompasses a broad range of content and learners, such as the use of high-quality, diverse educational strategies that extend beyond traditional forms of continuing medical education (CME); integration of education with practice; and, ultimately, the potential to influence patient care and societal health. Thus, CPD represents a synthesis of CME and faculty development to prepare faculty to fulfill academic medicine’s tripartite mission of patient care, education, and research.The CPD section of the AAMC Group on Educational Affairs, in collaboration with the Society for Academic Continuing Medical Education (SACME), defined and visualized CPD for Academic Medicine’s Last Page. Key elements of this vision outline CPD as a life-long practice. It requires professionals to work as a member of interprofessional teams that are part of the larger health care system existing within the larger context of the community. This session will discuss this vision and direction of CPD and present key concepts including guided and self-directed learning in a continuous learning cycle; interprofessional practice; and development of adaptive expertise as applied to the four CPD focus areas: patient outcomes, education, research/scholarship, and leadership in the academic setting. Learning Objectives: • Describe the role of CPD in the continuum of medical education. • Define CPD in the context of academic medicine. • Explain the role CPD plays in meeting the needs of today's academic faculty.

Why We Should Care about Health Care for the Incarcerated: Academic Medicine and Justice Health (Conv. Center West: 301 AB)

If the U.S. population of incarcerated individuals all lived in one city, that city of 2.2 million people would be larger than Phoenix, our country’s fifth largest city. Our criminal justice system has become the largest provider of mental health care services in this country.

By this point in the conference, you’ve already heard from Bryan Stevenson and you’ve most likely been moved by his call for social justice. That call includes health justice as well and should remind us that suffering and illness do not stop when someone becomes incarcerated. Many of the challenges you face as a doctor to a patient become more difficult and harder to treat once your patient enters the criminal justice system and then returns back to the community. The health care crisis of mass incarceration is leaving lasting and painful wounds that affect our patients, our roles as healers, and our society. What can those of us in academic medicine do to ensure that we are part of the solution?

Join two leaders who have championed humanizing, safe and respectful health care for incarcerated patients and fought for change in the criminal justice system. Dr. Elizabeth Ford has spent her career as a psychiatrist treating men with serious mental illness in New York City jails on Rikers Island, improving jail psychiatric care in order to minimize the traumatic impact of incarceration, and expanding training and research experiences for medical students, residents and fellows. Dr. Newton Kendig, the former medical director for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, is now leading a criminal justice initiative at the George Washington School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In this session, Dr. Ford and Dr. Kendig will explore the current state of health care in correctional settings, examine some of the current academic partnerships, and encourage medical school and teaching hospital leaders to both value the care of these patients and recognize the enormous public good that clinical training opportunities in jails and prisons provide.

Expanding Global Health Impacts: Building Transformative, Interdisciplinary Collaborations Workshop (Conv. Center North: 224)

Increasingly, U.S. medical schools are developing and expanding global health courses and tracks. Yet, global health is an immensely complex domain, which cuts across geographic and disciplinary borders. From infectious disease to mental health, well-being is intertwined with cultural, economic, environmental, technological, legal, and political factors. Further, there is a growing need not only for interprofessional training within the health sciences, but also interdisciplinary collaborations with architects, lawyers, and other professionals.

In this session, two institutions — the University at Buffalo (SUNY) and the University of Maryland, Baltimore — will illustrate how innovative and interdisciplinary programs can advance global health research, education, and practice. Descriptions and outcomes from interdisciplinary global health programs from both institutions, in different settings, will be shared, describing both challenges and lessons learned. Presenters will integrate how research on team science informs global health collaborations and guide participants through a process of organizing and developing strong interprofessional teams.

Learning Objectives:
• Articulate the need for, and challenges of, interdisciplinary global health research, education, and practice.
• Share strategies for working across professional and graduate schools to create interdisciplinary global health projects from project development to administrative structures.
• Gain experience fromlessons learned from team science into research, education, and outreach missions at home institutions.

Each year, 38,000 Americans die from firearm-related injuries as a result of suicide, interpersonal violence, mass shootings and unintentional injuries. In addition, an estimated 85,000 people survive non-fatal firearm injuries that result in both physical and emotional trauma for both the individual and entire communities. In the face of this widespread reality, physicians and hospital-based violence prevention programs increasingly play a role in identifying patients at risk, counseling patients to reduce firearm-related injuries, and partnering with communities affected by gun violence. Continuing the discussion from a session at Learn Serve Lead 2018, this session will explore strategies underway at academic medical centers to equip future and practicing physicians to address gun violence using a public health framework. From curricular learning opportunities across the continuum of medical education to partnerships that empower families and help ensure safe and resilient communities, speakers will provide examples of effective strategies to prepare physicians at the local level in their efforts to reduce gun violence. Learning Objectives: • Describe current state of gun violence education in medical student and resident training • Identify barriers to designing effective curricula on gun violence • Discuss ways to prepare physicians to raise the topic of gun violence with their patients.

Climate and Culture Across Academic Medicine

3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	An Inclusive Conversation on Gender and Sexual Harassment: Engaging Men and all Allies (Conv. Center West: 301 C) With the rise of the #MeToo movement, the topic of sexual and gender harassment has been increasingly popular in a variety of fields from entertainment to medicine. Exposure and activity in this area has been positive, recognizing the prevalence and impact of harassment on women. However, this conversation has tended to exist in a binary silo, seen primarily as a “women’s issue,” a topic talked about by and for women. This one-sidedness has left men, allies, and individuals of other genders and identities outside of the conversation, feeling unsure how to support and act — including instances where men are targets. Furthermore, women of color are less likely to come forward because of fear of being stereotyped in addition to not having the support systems that white women have. Specific subtopics addressed in this session may include: defining and educating about respect for colleagues, learners, and patients; bystander training; effects of #MeToo on male mentors of female mentees; tips for allies and growing the choir of allies; and the backlash against male allies. This session will take the form of an inclusive conversation for men, allies, and additional perspectives in academic medicine to hear about why this topic is important to all, how everyone can contribute to the conversation and become allies, and ultimately how institutions can expand their campus conversations. Taking an intersectional, nonbinary approach to harassment, this session aims to create a safe space for all perspectives and offer examples of how institutions can take a solution-oriented and inclusive approach to addressing harassment. Learning Objectives: • Identify myths and facts about sexual and gender harassment. • Recognize harassment is not just a white women’s issue, and allies can use their privilege to help transform institutions and systems by identifying policy innovations to effectively address harassment. • Adopt strategies and interventions that institutions have undertaken to create an inclusive environment with solutions to address sexual and gender harassment. Facilitator: Christle Nwora Speaker(s): Jennifer Beard, John Cullen, Leon McDougle
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Health Equity: Can Service-Learning Contribute to Realizing the Goal? (Conv. Center North: 121) Service learning (SL) is defined as a structured learning experience that combines community service with specific learning objectives, preparation, and reflection. Traditionally, such opportunities are based on community-identified concerns and developed and implemented in collaboration with the community. A 2015 review article on SL in medical education notes a wide range of outcomes for students participating in SL, including understanding of community needs and assets, increased awareness of the social determinants of health, and the importance of the patient-physician relationship. For the described outcomes to be achieved, careful program development with delineation of learning objectives and their assessment through critical reflection must occur. But if SL is to be a pedagogy that embraces the ultimate goal of health equity and thus social justice, medical educators will need to determine if they can implement critical SL — i.e., SL that moves beyond community service and advances a student’s understanding of power structures, reasons for health inequity, and the political action typically needed to transform structural inequalities. Furthermore, the engaged learning itself and the projects developed must be evaluated in ways that matter to the community. This session will explore what it takes for medical educators, along with their students and community partners, to use SL as a way to begin tackling the upstream and foundational structures that have successfully perpetuated inequities and injustices. Learning Objectives: • List at least two ways in which critical service learning can advance the work of achieving health equity. • Summarize examples of current service learning programs (best practices) and their impact on the communities they serve. • Identify effective strategies to transform traditional service learning into critical service learning. Facilitator: Clarence Williams Speaker(s): Suzanne Cashman, Aisha Queen-Johnson, John Paul Sanchez, Melanie Stone
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Online Communities: Leveraging Technology to Connect Medical Educators for Professional Development (Conv. Center North: 122) As our academic medicine community considered professional development strategies for clinician educators in support of our triple missions, traditional solutions may not be feasible or optimal. Busy clinical schedules and reduced funding may get in the way of traveling to and participating in face-to-face meetings. There also may be few colleagues locally with similar interests, which can limit local professional development options and lead clinician educators to feel undervalued and isolated. In recent years, efforts to leverage online collaborative learning tools to connect like-minded individuals from around the country and the world have been implemented. Online professional development now connects individuals and supports the creation of online communities that promote the professional development of isolated and, potentially, all medical educators. This session will highlight several models of these online communities. Presenters will discuss online graduate programs, communities of practice, and the use of social media to deliver content and connect faculty virtually to develop teaching and scholarship skills. Learning Objectives: • Describe models used to design online professional development. • Discuss the pros and cons of using online communities and technologies to offer professional development. • Consider the model(s) that would work best at your institution that aligns with the needs of your medical educators. Facilitator: Jason Frank Speaker(s): Teresa Chan, Elissa Hall, Larry Hurtubise, Karen��Spear Ellinwood
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Repairing the Breach: Medical Research’s Legacy in Minority Communities (Conv. Center North: 124) Many academic medical centers seek to partner with medically underserved or minority communities to address health care disparities and to provide opportunities for learners to be exposed to the social determinants of health that impact such communities. However, the legacy of unethical medical research among minority populations in the United States may pose barriers to successful partnerships. This session engages stakeholders in dialogue that acknowledges this tenuous history and features leaders sharing innovative strategies for confronting and overcoming this legacy through institutional initiatives and curricular design. Learning Objectives: • Understand primary themes in the scholarly literature on medical mistrust and minority communities and consider the impact of the legacy of medical mistrust on efforts to eradicate health disparities. • Describe curricular innovations used to educate future physicians to provide adequate care to vulnerable patient populations. • Discuss effective practices and proven strategies for confronting institutional histories and rebuilding trust through community partnerships. Facilitator: Karey Sutton Speaker(s): Luther Brewster, Kadian McIntosh, Rueben Warren
3:00 PM - 4:15 PM	Value Added: Opportunities for Late-Career Transitions in Academic Medicine (Conv. Center North: 221) There is growing concern about the increasing number of older physicians in the United States and their roles in academic medicine. Currently, one in five MDs is 65 years old or older, and the size of this group has increased by 27% since 2005. The average physician anticipates retiring at about the age of 60 but actually retires closer to age 69. Newer data, however, suggest that 46.8% anticipate retiring sooner than planned. Academic health centers spend considerable resources ensuring that learners transition smoothly into undergraduate and graduate medical education and independent practice. Late-career transitions into retirement, however, typically occur without the same level of institutional support, despite the potential for these transitions to impact patient care, institutional bottom lines, individual physicians’ personal and professional identity, and the makeup of the health care workforce. In addition, there is no consensus regarding how, when, or who decides when an MD should step back from full- or part-time engagement. This session will explore the current landscape of the aging physician workforce, the basis for decisions regarding retention or disengagement of these individuals, and what strategies should be considered both by the physician and by academic medicine regarding a change in status. Physicians currently or recently navigating late-career transitions of their own will draw on evidence and personal experience to illuminate this topic. Learning Objectives: • Identify demographic trends at play for older physicians and the potential value-added contributions of these senior clinicians. • Name barriers to retirement and reasons physicians are considering earlier retirement. • Identify approaches that can be employed to segue from full-time engagement to retirement.

Heroes Among Us: Perspectives on Living, Healing, and Battlegrounds (Conv. Center West: 301 AB)

On Veterans’ Day, what better way to honor those who have served in the military than to hear from two physicians who have led extraordinary lives before and after their military service?

Native American physician, author, soldier, patient, and healer, Jon Kerstetter, MD has had a remarkable journey. Kerstetter’s life began in poverty on the Oneida reservation in Wisconsin. With determination and the dream of becoming a doctor, Kerstetter entered Mayo Medical School at age 34. Trained as an emergency physician, he later joined the Army National Guard after volunteering for tours in war-torn Rwanda, Kosovo, and Bosnia. His three tours in the Iraq war marked the height of American struggle there. After returning from Iraq, Kerstetter suffered a stroke resulting in severe cognitive and physical disabilities. His long recovery coupled with complications from PTSD prevented him from continuing his medical practice. It also led him to understand his own resilience and to a new vocation as an author. Kerstetter’s first book, Crossings, was released in 2018.

South Korean immigrant, military officer, combat surgeon, professor, and chief of surgery, Peter Rhee, MD has had an equally exceptional life. Probably best known as the attending physician for U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and other victims of the 2011 Tucson mass shooting, Rhee is a 24-year veteran of the U.S. Navy and served as a trauma surgeon in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has worked in the trauma centers of several academic medical centers and is an active researcher. His memoir, Trauma Red, chronicles the patient cases Dr. Rhee has handled on two distinct battlefields—those on foreign soil and those within the urban zones of Los Angeles and Washington, DC. Known for his passion, Dr. Rhee doesn’t shy away from discussing the politics of violence.

Join us as we salute two of the many heroes who chose to serve society as both doctor and military service member.

8:45 AM - 10:00 AM	Plenary, Fearless: Creating Psychological Safety for Learning, Innovation, and Growth (Conv. Center North: 120) Why is it that organizations with an environment of trust are better equipped to weather change and uncertainty? What are the repercussions of an organizational — or even departmental — culture where staff, learners, and caregivers are fearful of imperfections, showing vulnerability, and questioning decisions? Amy Edmondson first identified the concept of psychological safety in work teams in 1999. Since then, she has observed how organizations with a trusting workplace perform better. Psychological safety isn’t about being nice, she says. It’s about giving candid feedback, openly admitting mistakes, and learning from each other. Edmondson is the author of The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation, and Growth, and her research includes deep dives into health care and the learning environment. For academic medicine, the stakes for psychological safety play a vital role in helping people overcome barriers to learning and change in our interpersonally challenging work environments. Whether a learner, leader, or team member, you’ll benefit from this discussion and find out how you can contribute to a trusting culture. Speaker: Amy Edmondson Facilitator: Lilly Marks

12:15 PM - 1:30 PM	Seeing Circles Practicing a Restorative Justice Tool to Promote Community and Peer Dialogue in MedEd (Conv. Center North: 224) Burnout in medicine is negatively affecting patient care and driving doctors away from practice. While several institutional strategies have been suggested to combat it, they are costly and resource dependent. At Rush Medical College, we have utilized a restorative justice process — circles — to foster community and engagement, which are protective factors against burnout. This resource-efficient strategy encourages equitable communication and equips training physicians to create a health care environment that supports wellness needs of medical professionals. Learning Objectives: • Define restorative justice and community-building circles. • Describe how community-building circles can be employed to address burnout in medical education and training. • Evaluate the utility of community-building circles to inculcate the values of restorative justice in health care and higher education settings.
