Implementing an Entrustable Professional Activities Framework in Undergraduate Medical Education: Early Lessons From the AAMC Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency Pilot
In 2014, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) published a list of 13 Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency (Core EPAs) that medical school graduates might be expected to perform, without direct supervision, on the first day of residency. Soon after, the AAMC commissioned a five-year pilot with 10 medical schools across the United States, seeking to implement the Core EPA framework to improve the transition from undergraduate to graduate medical education. In this article, the pilot team presents the organizational structure and early results of collaborative efforts to provide guid...

Virtual anatomy and point ‐of‐care ultrasonography integration pilot for medical students
AbstractDespite its significant clinical use, there is no standardized point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) curriculum in undergraduate medical education. As Covid-19 abruptly mandated the use of virtual education, instructors were challenged to incorporate and improve POCUS education within these new constraints. It was hypothesized that integrating POCUS into anatomy via brief video lessons and a subsequent interactive virtual lesson would lead to an objective understanding of POCUS concepts, improved understanding of the corresponding anatomy, and subjective improvement of student confidence with POCUS. A cross-section...

Developing a Parental Leave Policy in Undergraduate Medical Education: A Successful Student–Administration Collaboration
This report outlines the steps taken by student-leaders to advocate for such a policy and the lessons learned along the way. Approach In September 2018, leaders of the Family Support Initiative, a medical student interest group at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, initiated the process of advocating for a clear, official parental leave policy. Certain elements proved essential in bringing about institutional change, including active involvement of a faculty advocate; well-documented student testimonials; commitment from top administrative leaders; involvement of the Title IX office and legal couns...

A Statewide Strategy for Expanding Graduate Medical Education by Establishing New Teaching Hospitals and Residency Programs
The graduate medical education (GME) system in the United States is in need of reform to ensure that the physician workforce being trained is able to meet the current and future health care needs of the population. However, GME funding to existing teaching hospitals and programs relies heavily on support from Medicare, which was capped in 1997. Thus, new, innovative models to expand GME are needed. To address physician shortages, especially in primary care and general surgery and in rural areas, the state of Georgia implemented a statewide initiative. They increased medical school enrollment by 600 students from 2000 to 20...

Love and the Value of Life in Health Care: A Narrative Medicine Case Study in Medical Education.
Authors: Pentiado JA, De Almeida HO, Amorim FF, Facioli AM, Trindade EM, De Almeida KJ Abstract This case study is an example of narrative medicine applied to promote self-awareness and develop humanistic contents in medical education. The impact and the human appeal of the narrative lie in the maturity and empathy shown by a student when reporting his dramatic experience during the care given to a newborn (with Patau syndrome and multiple malformations diagnosed at birth) and to her mother. The narrative approach helped the student to be successful in bringing out the meaning behind the story and to position himse...

Competency‐based education: programme design and challenges to implementation
ConclusionsEarly experience with implementing the UM‐MHPE indicates that EPAs and competencies can provide a viable alternative to traditional courses and a vehicle for rigorous assessment. A high level of individualisation is feasible but carries with it significant costs and makes intentional community building essential. Most significantly, abandoning a time‐based framework is a difficult innovation to implement in a university structure that is predicated on time‐based education.

Evaluation of chest ultrasound integrated teaching of respiratory system physiology to medical students
Ultrasound imaging is a widely used diagnostic technique, whose integration in medical education is constantly growing. The aim of this study was to evaluate chest ultrasound usefulness in teaching respiratory system physiology, students’ perception of chest ultrasound integration into a traditional lecture in human physiology, and short–term concept retention. A lecture about respiratory physiology was integrated with ultrasound and delivered to third-year medical students. It included basic concepts of ultrasound imaging and the physiology of four anatomic sectors of the body of a male volunteer, shown with a...

Design for success: Identifying a process for transitioning to an intensive online course delivery model in health professions education.
Authors: McDonald PL, Harwood KJ, Butler JT, Schlumpf KS, Eschmann CW, Drago D Abstract Intensive courses (ICs), or accelerated courses, are gaining popularity in medical and health professions education, particularly as programs adopt e-learning models to negotiate challenges of flexibility, space, cost, and time. In 2014, the Department of Clinical Research and Leadership (CRL) at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences began the process of transitioning two online 15-week graduate programs to an IC model. Within a year, a third program also transitioned to this model. A literature...

Military Physicians Are Not Just Physicians in the Military: Using Leadership Training in Military Graduate Medical Education to Assure Mission Success.
Authors: Will JS, Malave B Abstract Physicians in the military often take leadership roles much earlier in their career than their civilian counterparts. Military Graduate Medical Education programs must continue to provide relevant leadership training that prepares graduates for their imminent leadership roles. The following article illustrates the experience of a junior Army Medical Corps Officer deployed shortly after residency. His case illustrates how he utilized the tools and lessons learned from the professional development and leadership training in his residency to assure the operational readiness and succ...

Lessons learned in medical education research: seeing opportunity amidst the challenges
It would be a dramatic understatement to say that conducting rigorous medical education research is ‘complicated’. Unlike a medical laboratory setting, medical education ('med-ed') research occurs in difficult-to-control environments containing a myriad confounding influences and relies on blended research methodologies with which many traditional researchers may not be familiar. And unlike cl inical research, study subjects talk to each other and can compare notes, thus ‘contaminating’ interventional and control groups.

Clerkship Grading and the U.S. Economy: What Medical Education Can Learn From America’s Economic History
Clerkship grades (like money) are a social construct that function as the currency through which value exchanges in medical education are negotiated between the system’s various stakeholders. They provide a widely recognizable and efficient medium through which learner development can be assessed, tracked, compared, and demonstrated and are commonly used to make decisions regarding progression, distinction, and selection for residency. However, substantial literature has demonstrated how grades imprecisely and unreliably reflect the value of learners. In this article, the authors suggest that challenges with clerkship gr...

The development of a core syllabus for the teaching of head and neck anatomy to medical students
The study of human anatomy has traditionally served as a fundamental component in the basic science education of medical students, yet there exists a remarkable lack of firm guidance on essential features that must be included in a gross anatomy course, which would constitute a “Core Syllabus” of absolutely mandatory structures and related clinical pathologies. While universal agreement on the details of a core syllabus is elusive, there is a general consensus that a core syllabus aims to identify the minimum level of knowledge expected of recently qualified medical graduates in order to carry out clinical procedures s...
