Advancing Workplace-Based Assessment in Psychiatric Education
With the adoption of competency-based medical education, assessment has shifted from traditional classroom domains of knows and knows how to the workplace domain of doing. This workplace-based assessment has 2 purposes; assessment of learning (summative feedback) and the assessment for learning (formative feedback). What the trainee does becomes the basis for identifying growth edges and determining readiness for advancement and ultimately independent practice. High-quality workplace-based assessment programs require thoughtful choices about the framework of assessment, the tools themselves, the platforms used, and the con...

This article outlines commonly used learning styles and provides a literature review on the 3 assumptions. The authors conclude that although there is some evidence for learning styles, there is little justif ication for adjusting teaching methods to match individual styles.

Moving from Cultural Competence to Cultural Humility in Psychiatric Education
Given the significant, persistent health care inequities encountered by minority populations, health care organizations and training programs have sought to incorporate cultural competency training initiatives. However, the variety of pedagogical models demonstrate the current lack of a uniform standardized curriculum. Limitations of knowledge-based cultural competence initiatives have resulted in a shift toward attitude- and behavior-based “cultural humility.” Cultural humility, the ability to maintain an interpersonal stance that is open in relation to aspects of cultural identity that are most important to the patie...

Adapting Teaching to the Clinical Setting
Adapting teaching to the clinical setting is most successful when the teacher and trainee are able to work alongside of each other allowing the cognitive apprenticeship model to be embraced. Six tools of experiential learning as components of this framework are described including scaffolding, modeling, coaching/supervision, articulation, reflection, and exploration. These tools provide useful guidance for supervisors to teach in clinical settings. Inherent in this process is the concept of validation of the trainees and includes the importance of supervisors cultivating nonjudgmental acceptance of themselves. Optimal teac...

Teaching Psychotherapy
Although there is debate about the importance of a strong foundation in psychotherapy for psychiatrists, the literature provides ample evidence of the positive impact on patient care outcomes when psychiatrists are competent to provide this important form of treatment. Despite financial pressures and increases in managed care posing a threat to the maintenance of psychotherapy as a core skillset for psychiatrists, psychotherapy training should not only be maintained within psychiatry residency training but should in fact be given a renewed focus and priority within training programs.

Competency-Based Assessment in Psychiatric Education
Medical education programs are failing to meet the health needs of patients and communities. Misalignments exist on multiple levels, including content (what trainees learn), pedagogy (how trainees learn), and culture (why trainees learn). To address these challenges effectively, competency-based assessment (CBA) for psychiatric medical education must simultaneously produce life-long learners who can self-regulate their own growth and trustworthy processes that determine and accelerate readiness for independent practice. The key to effectively doing so is situating assessment within a carefully designed system with several,...

Giving Feedback
Effective feedback is critical to medical education in that it promotes learning and ensures that benchmark learning objectives are achieved. Yet the nature of and response to feedback is variable. In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive review of the effective feedback literature. Namely, they discuss the various approaches to feedback, their advantages and disadvantages, as well as barriers to providing effective feedback. Finally, they offer suggestions for steps both the feedback giver and receiver can take to foster a culture of successful feedback in an academic and clinical setting. (Source: The Psychia...

Fostering Careers in Medical Education
Many careers are available to psychiatrist-educators, and residents should learn about these pathways in addition to developing a core set of teaching skills regardless of their intended career trajectory. Clinician-Educator Programs offer structured opportunities for residents to explore advanced concepts, practice teaching skills, pursue scholarship, and receive mentorship in medical education. Women and persons from minority groups, particularly people of color and gender-diverse individuals, have long been passed over in the promotions process, and correction of these inequities is essential to creating a robust workfo...
