Nudging clinical supervisors to provide better in-training assessment reports
We examined whether the quality of completed ITARs could be improved by ‘nudges’ from the format o f ITAR forms.MethodsOur first intervention consisted of placing the section for narrative comments at the beginning of the form, and using prompts for recommendations (Do more, Keep doing, Do less, Stop doing). In a second intervention, we provided a hyperlink to a detailed assessment rubric and shortened the checklist section. We analyzed a sample of 360 de-identified completed ITARs from six disciplines across the three academic years where the different versions of the ITAR were used. Two raters indepe ndently sc...

Empowering medical students as agents of curricular change: a value-added approach to student engagement in medical education
We describe the structure of a novel student engagement program at the University of Illinois Coll ege of Medicine-Chicago (UICOM-Chicago) known as the Student Curricular Board (SCB). We surveyed 563 medical students across all levels of training at our institution in order to examine the impact of this program, including its strengths and potential areas of improvement. The SCB serves as a high ly structured and collaborative student group that has far-reaching involvement from course-level program evaluation to longitudinal curriculum design. Medical students overwhelmingly valued opportunities to be involved in their ...

The utility of failure: a taxonomy for research and scholarship
ConclusionsConsidering failure in research and scholarship, four conclusions are drawn. First, failure is integral to research and scholarship —it is how theories are refined, discoveries are made, and innovations are developed. Second, we must purposefully engage with the opportunities that failure provide—understanding why a particular well-designed project failed is an opportunity for further insight. Third, we must engage publicly with failure in order to better communicate and role model the complexities of executing scholarship or innovating in HPE. Fourth, in order to make failure truly an opportunity for growt...

When perception is reality: Resident perception of faculty gender parity in a university-based internal medicine residency program
DiscussionWomen residents in our internal medicine training program perceived a gender disparity among faculty in leadership and educational positions to a greater extent than male residents. The perception of women trainees was accurate. In addition to disproportionate underrepresentation in leadership positions, women faculty were underrepresented in prominent educational positions, including attending on inpatient services and serving as discussants at educational conferences.
