Topic: Faculty Development

Rationale
Much like in clinical medicine, technology advances are changing the way medical education is being created and delivered. Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming readily available and how their use can impact the world is becoming a frequent topic of discussion. This proposal aims to bring this topic to the forefront in medical education, specifically concerning its use in administration. Although artificial intelligence is not ready to replace us, it is ready to augment us. We aim to open this discussion and provide attendees with ideas and tools to bring back to their respective institutions to expand administrative bandwidth at little to no cost.

Workshop: Bringing Gender and Sex Equity and Inclusivity into Your Classroom: A Framework for Medical Educators

Feedback Survey

Presenters:
Alli Gomez, University of California, San Francisco
Jay Zussman, University of California, San Francisco

Topic: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Anti-Racism in the Learning Environment

Rationale
LGBTQIA+ patients experience health disparities directly linked to discrimination, social stigma, and denial of human rights. As the LGBTQIA+ population of the US continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important that medical students learn how to provide affirming care to begin combatting these disparities. LGBTQIA+ learners should be able to engage with medical school curriculum in a safe environment that avoids stigmatization and harmful misconceptions, but educators may find the creation of inclusive curricular materials challenging due to unfamiliarity with sex and gender terms and lack of standardization within the medical education community on how to respectfully and accurately discuss sex and gender in curricular materials. This session aims to foster health professions educators’ awareness of disparities and oppression experienced by LGBTQIA+ people both in the classroom and in health care settings, and equip educators to enhance inclusivity in their curriculum. Participants will gain evidence-based strategies, skills, and resources to generate more inclusive curricula, ultimately making learning environments safer and more welcoming to LGBTQIA+ students.

Presenters:
Melody Tran-Reina, University of California, Davis
Adwoa Osei, University of California, Riverside
Luis Castellanos, University of California, San Diego
Charles Vega, University of California, Irvine

Topic: Career Trajectory

Rationale
The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) projects that the United States could face a shortage of up to 139,000 physicians by 2033, with both primary and specialty care fields impacted1. The growing shortage of physicians is particularly a threat to healthcare accessibility for low-income and marginalized populations. Medical schools across the country have looked for various ways to tackle the threat of healthcare inaccessibility of underrepresented diverse
populations.
The University of California has responded to this challenge with its Programs in Medical Education (PRIME) model. These programs exist at every UC medical school campus and focus on different domains of health equity. There are now ten PRIME programs, with hundreds of graduates. Our panel discussion will highlight the progress and challenges of PRIME across institutions.

Workshop: Catalyzing Professional Identity Formation: Harnessing Foundational Science in Undergraduate Medical Education

Presenters:
Janet Lindsley, University of Utah
Candace Chow, University of Utah School of Medicine
Adrienne Carey, University of Utah
Morgan Nelson, University of Utah

Topic: Basic Science: Teaching and Learning Pedagogies and Curricula

Rationale
In recent years, physician professional identity formation (PIF), or the way students come to “think, feel, and act” like a physician, has become a major focus of medical education (Cruess). Many studies and analyses have addressed
components of medical education that impact PIF, including a recent scoping review we helped complete (Lindsley). The review analyzed 257 publications from which multiple themes emerged about the impact of foundational sciences on PIF.
Using the lens of Wagner’s three modes of identification (engagement, imagination, and alignment) within landscapes of practice (LoP) (Wegner-Trayner), we identified three major themes: engaging in the work of a physician, imagining oneself becoming a ‘good’ doctor, and aligning with the practices and expectations of a medical community or specialty (Lindsley). In this session, we will use the findings from this review as a framework to help participants develop guidelines for catalyzing PIF in the context of teaching foundational sciences.

Workshop: Navigating a Sea of Change: Transforming Medical Education through Evidence-Based Teaching

Topic: Faculty Development

Rationale
The integration of evidence-based teaching practices in medical education is not only important; it's essential in helping our learners develop resilience while adapting to change. The evolving landscape of healthcare, including technological
advancements, patient-centered care, and the need for lifelong learning, requires medical educators to continually adapt their teaching methods. Evidence-based teaching provides a framework to optimize student learning, foster critical thinking, and adapt to the ever-evolving demands of the medical field. This session is highly timely and relevant, as it equips educators with the knowledge and tools needed to bridge the gap between educational research and practice.

Jonathan Finkelstein, MD, MPH, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine
Daniel Novak, PhD, University of California, Riverside

Topic: Student Affairs and Services

Rationale
Medical student research has become increasingly important in the NBME Step 1 exam pass/fail era. Students matching into competitive specialties in 2022 reported 2-3x more research items (abstracts, presentations, and publications) than students in those same specialties in 2009. While this trend was developing well before Step 1 moved to pass/fail, it has since accelerated, leaving students who hope to match into competitive specialties devoting more and more time outside of the formal curriculum to research activities. Some have referred to this trend as an ‘arms race,’ prompting leaders to question how we got here, what it means for students, and where we’re headed.

Topic: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Anti-Racism in the Learning Environment

Rationale
Racism and other forms of oppression are entrenched in the content and processes of medical education, transmitting false understandings about health and illness to future physicians and contributing to sustained health inequities.(1-
3) While these problems are not new, there has been increased, wide-spread acknowledgment of the need to bring anti-racism and anti-oppression into medical education.(4,5) Naming racism, and by extension other forms of oppression, is a
critical first step for transformational change.(6) However, recognition is only the beginning.(7,8) We will share a novel, integrated, systems-level approach to antioppressive change in medical school curricula, including lessons learned and
early outcomes. Participants will consider how our experience can inform similar efforts at their institutions.

Panel: “Satisfaction with Student Satisfaction”

Measuring student satisfaction is just one approach in evaluating medical education programs. The results of student satisfaction surveys are used by medical schools to make curricular and service improvements; however, they have also been used by the LCME in making high stakes decisions whether medical education programs meet established standards. Recent events such as the pandemic, changes in USMLE 1 grading, generational differences and other factors have brought about new challenges for schools in meeting students' evolving needs and expectations. This panel discussion will focus on practical tips and strategies for enhancing student satisfaction levels, not only to meet LCME requirements but also to improve the overall student experience on a day-to-day basis.

Small Group: An Inflection Point in Medical Education: Mapping the future of curriculum design and delivery to respond to the current landscape

Presenters:
Michael Campion, MEd, University of Washington School of Medicine
John Willford, PhD, University of Washington School of Medicine - Wyoming Campus
Heather McPhillips, MD, MPH, University of Washington School of Medicine

Topic: Basic Sciences: Teaching and Learning Pedagogies and Curricula

Rationale
As medical schools emerged from the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many faced a new set of circumstances they hadn’t seen before. Classroom attendance declined; faculty perceived less respect from students, especially around topics of social justice; students called for virtual learning opportunities to relieve the burden of commuting to campus; more students needed higher levels of academic support; and students reported spending more time on activities outside the core curriculum, such as research projects, leadership opportunities, and advocacy work. Meanwhile, many educators identified that certain aspects of pandemic-era teaching were positive, and they sought ways to incorporate elements of virtual learning into otherwise in-person experiences. Some have referred to our current situation as “the new normal” or “an inflection point for medical education.”

Karen Hauer, University of California, San Francisco
Sharad Jain, University of California, Davis
Jose Negrete Manriquez, University of California, Davis
Bridget O'Brien, University of California, San Francisco

Topic: Assessment

Rationale
Professionalism has become a contentious construct in medicine. While the values and commitments inscribed in professionalism are widely endorsed, the translation of these values and commitments into codes of conduct and
assessable behavior has received much critique. This situation creates a dilemma for educators and trainees. Despite the biases implicit in professionalism standards and judgments, educators must still assess and provide feedback on
trainees’ professionalism. Trainees recognize many of these biases yet feel disempowered to challenge them due to their reliance on positive assessments to succeed. In this session, we will engage educators and trainees about the professionalism dilemma. We will invite panelists and participants to share experiences with professionalism and strategies to improve how the construct of professionalism is conceptualized and assessed in medical education at both the interpersonal and programmatic level.

Ethan T Du, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine
Brian Herman, Stanford University School of Medicine
Joe Gayk, Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine
Irina Russell, Stanford University School of Medicine

Topic: Student Affairs and Services

Rationale
Running and maintaining a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) system that evaluates and iteratively improves medical education programs and processes has been a requirement for accreditation at North American Medical Schools since 2016. Stanford established their system as recently as 2021, while Kaiser Permanente SOM (KPSOM) CQI system has been in place since shortly after the school’s founding in 2019. Our two schools would like an opportunity to share our experiences with CQI implementation, scaling and maintenance in an interactive panel.
As part of this discussion, we will focus on the resources that are available at different institutions for building and operating such systems. Every institution has different organizational structures and budgets for implementing and running CQI. At KPSOM, the CQI system has been managed by several offices since inception. At Stanford, there was a bare bones approach to implementing CQI, using institutional tools at hand.

Panel: Primum non nocere. First, do no harm: Is AI helping or hurting the learning process in UME and GME?

Topic: Simulation and Technology

Rationale
The recent and rapid rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) necessitates the development of frameworks for educators to prepare their learners for AIinfluenced health care environments. Current and future clinicians will encounter
both beneficial and harmful effects of these AI-tools. Therefore, baseline competencies need to be established to ensure effective, efficient, safe and equitable healthcare practices. Six clinical competencies around the use of AI have been developed (Ref 1). This panel will start with an overview of AI-related clinical competencies for healthcare professionals, followed by specific examples of useful and problematic uses of AI in undergraduate and graduate medical education, with a focus on critical appraisal and ethical use of AI in education.

Topic: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Anti-Racism in the Learning Environment

Rationale
Despite significant progress in medical education toward DEI and health equity, and the dissemination of tools like the AAMC DEI Core Competencies, medical racism and continues to persist (Amutah et al. 2021). To disrupt this cycle and
create sustainable change, it is imperative that we create institution-wide infrastructure and processes to transform medical education and create more equitable systems of care (Hall et al., 2015). Aligned with our mission, a working
group of Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine (KPSOM) students, faculty, and staff has co-developed and iterated a curricular DEI scorecard for course evaluation and instructional design support.

Workshop: Physician Coaching: A Path to Decrease Stress and Negative Outcomes During Training

Topic: Transition to Residency

Rationale
The stress of GME training can lead to harmful outcomes such as impaired learning, burnout, depression, anxiety, even suicide. A recent multicenter, national randomized controlled trial of a group coaching program, for female physician
residents and fellows showed a reduction in burnout, moral injury, and impostor syndrome, and improved self-compassion and flourishing . An inductive qualitative analysis of the requested areas of coaching identified three top needs: career uncertainty, navigating feedback and relationship stress at home and work. In addition, a deductive analysis confirmed that coaching requests tended to center around the outcomes the program aimed to improve (burnout, moral injury, selfcompassion, and imposter syndrome). Given these findings, it may be wise for GME program leaders, faculty, and professional coaches and counselors serving residency and fellowship trainees learn to coach in these areas specifically.

Presenters:

Corina Iacopetti, University of California, San Francisco
Lisa Mihaly, University of California, San Francisco
Bridget O'Brien, University of California, San Francisco

Topic: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Anti-Racism in the Learning Environment

Rationale
Educators are increasingly aware of ways our educational systems and practices marginalize, exclude, and harm learners based on their social identities. Many individual educators are actively learning and implementing anti-racist, antioppressive (ARAO) educational approaches. This work cannot succeed if attempted solely at the individual level; its realization requires institutions to support and champion these changes. While many institutions and programs encourage educators to pursue such learning and improvement, few have established expectations or competencies to guide educators in their antioppressive professional development journeys. National organizations have developed diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) competencies (AAMC 2022) and milestones for clinician educators (ACGME 2022). While these efforts provide helpful guidance, they lack the specificity educators need to enact ARAO approaches in day-to-day health professions education (HPE) practices.

Responding to the moment: An open forum to share strategies on supporting our students, staff, and faculty during the current Israeli-Palestinian crisis

The current Israeli-Palestinian crisis has deeply affected our educational communities. Students, staff, and faculty have been distressed. Some have felt unheard or unseen. Others have felt that educational spaces are unsafe. Given the rise of student demonstrations at universities across the country over the past two weeks, anxieties may be rising.
The objective of this session is to create a space where we can share strategies our institutions have used to support our communities and learn from one another. What is the current situation at your school? What strategies has your institution put into place to support students, staff, and faculty? What has worked? What did not work well? What resources were required for your efforts? What barriers have you faced? How are you taking care of yourself?
The purpose of this session is not to discuss the crisis itself, but rather, to discuss strategies used to support students and one another in this time.
Session details:

Give background, objectives of the session, and ground rules. 5 min.

Workshop: Suicide Prevention: Best Practices in Continuous Quality Improvement for UME and GME

Topic: Student Affairs and Services

Rationale
Trainee suicide remains a top concern in UME and GME. In this interactive session, we explore the use of an innovative suicide-prevention strategy that provides individual support and a wellness dashboard supporting continuous quality improvement of wellness policies and resources.

The Three-Step Theory of Suicide holds that suicide is the result of a combination of (1) pain (typically psychological), (2) hopelessness, and (3) a lack of connectedness. This suggests that successful suicide-prevention interventions would work by reducing pain, by reducing hopelessness, and/or by increasing a sense of connectedness.

Panel: Parental Leave Policies in U.S. Allopathic and Osteopathic Medical Schools

Topic: Student Affairs and Services

Rationale
Currently, students in almost all U.S. allopathic and osteopathic medical schools are faced with a decision between postponing their graduation for 1 year, which also means forfeiting tuition, financial aid, health insurance coverage, and other necessary safety nets, or returning to school immediately after adding a child to their family (through birth or adoption/foster). This means many new mothers and fathers in medical school are concurrently dealing with the stressors of delivery, newborn life, and major family adjustments, all while trying to maintain their academic load, sometimes returning to regularly scheduled classes within 5 days.

Many schools currently lack a parental leave policy at all, while the policies that do exist are often inadequate.

Workshop: Breaking the language barriers in healthcare: A workshop on cultural competency with Latino patient simulations

Presenters:
Joshua Salguero, Loma Linda University School of Medicine
Amy Hayton, Loma Linda University School of Medicine
Stephan Ortiz, Loma Linda University School of Medicine
Katya Hanessian, Loma Linda University School of Medicine

Topic: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Anti-Racism in the Learning Environment

Rationale
Cultural competency training is increasingly important in medical education, providing healthcare professionals with essential skills to navigate multicultural challenges in clinical settings. The explanatory model of disease is crucial within
this framework, identifying cultural, social, and personal beliefs that shape individuals' understanding of illness(7). Barriers to healthcare access disproportionately affect the health status of Latino patients. A study involving 2921 foreign-born Latinx patients revealed that language discordance predicted confusion, frustration, and perceived poor care(3). This workshop empowers participants to enhance their competence and humility in caring for Spanishspeaking
patients, providing tools to understand and support their healthcare needs. Active learning in workshops fosters deeper understanding, higher retention, academic achievement, and practical skill development compared to traditional lecture-based approaches(9). LLUSM has successfully implemented this simulation for their entire MS3 class for the past two years.

Workshop: Moving Beyond Simplistic Research Design in Health Professions Research: What a Simple Pretest-Posttest Design Will Not Prove

Topic: Faculty Development

Rationale
Building knowledge and skills in research methodology with educators to move beyond simplistic designs and embrace more rigorous and comprehensive approaches to assessing the impact of educational innovations is important in health professions education.

By acknowledging these limitations and understanding the need for alternative research methodologies, health professions educators can enhance the quality and reliability of their research, ultimately leading to more informed and effective educational innovations. This workshop serves as an opportunity to empower educators with the tools and knowledge to conduct research that stands up to scrutiny and contributes to meaningful improvements in the field.

The one-group pretest/posttest design is a commonly employed research method, especially among novice health professions educators, to evaluate the impact of educational innovations. This design involves measuring a single group of participants before and after an educational intervention to assess any changes caused by the intervention. While this design may appear straightforward, it is crucial to recognize the limitations and inherent threats to internal validity this
design poses. This workshop will highlight the limitations of the one-group, pretest-posttest design and provide opportunities for participants to identify and discuss alternative approaches to evaluate educational innovations.

Workshop: The NEXT STEP1 Project Draft Recommendations: Resources and Strategies to Adapt to USMLE/COMLEX Pass/Fail Grade Reporting

Presenters:
Paige Romer, University of Colorado School of Medicine
Julie Youm, University of California, Irvine
Michael Campion, University of Washington School of Medicine
Timothy Baker, University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine
Gorden Green, California University of Science and Medicine

Topic: Transition to Residency

Rationale
The USMLE Step 1 Examination's transition to a Pass/Fail grading system in January 2022, followed by a similar change in the COMLEX Level 1 Examination later that year, marked a seismic shift with far-reaching implications across the
entire spectrum of medical education and practice. Among the most immediate and palpable impacts of this change, the transition to residency, stands out due to the removal of a numerical distinction utilized in highly competitive residency
applications. This shift also prompted a rethinking of the curricular structure and transition milestones in medical schools. Medical schools, which have invested heavily on preparing students for a high-stakes, numerical score-based national
licensing examination, will need to reprioritize its approach to promote a broader range of competencies and skills.

Topic: Student Affairs and Services

Rationale
Student-elected wellness committees serve as important entities within the medical education landscape. They allow medical students to actively shape their learning environment by voicing concerns, fostering peer to peer support, and
developing the students' flexibility in the face of hardships. However, the realization of these committees' potential hinges upon critical factors such as robust institutional support, the adoption of evidence-based guidelines, and the purposeful development of wellness programs. We aim to demonstrate through this panel how we, as students and faculty in collaboration, have addressed the well-being needs of our student bodies in the current climate of medical education.

Workshop: Adopting a Novel Framework to Promote Flourishing in Medical Education

Presenters:
Kimara Ellefson, Kern National Network for Flourishing in Medicine
Marissa Kalkman, Kern National Network for Flourishing in Medicine
Rosemary Tyrrell, University of California, Riverside
Deepthiman Gowda, Kaiser Permanente, Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine

Topic: Faculty Development

Rationale
Research suggests only 17% of people are flourishing. Concerns regarding a focus on efficiency/value has deemphasized the “care” in healthcare, contributing to high rates of burnout (approaching half of physicians), depression, substance abuse, and a lack of fulfillment reported by healthcare learners and residents.

In response, a national network of medical schools developed a framework integrating character, caring, and practical wisdom to promote human flourishing at individual, organizational and societal levels. These schools have successfully used this framework in addressing diverse medical education challenges.5 In this workshop, participants will learn about—and then apply—this framework to rethink personal narratives, identify strengths, and develop ideas for promoting and supporting resiliency, creativity and innovation in medical education grounded in the flourishing of learners, faculty, staff, patients, and communities.

Workshop: Trauma Informed Learning Environment Protocols for Medical Educators

Presenters:
Joel Arvizo-Zavala, California University of Science and Medicine
Sunny Nakae, California University of Science and Medicine
Kemia Sarraf, Southern Illinois University SOM

Topic: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and Anti-Racism in the Learning Environment

Rationale
The collective trauma of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in more activated brains. Medical education is notoriously stressful, with constant challenges of managing safety, belonging, engagement, and outcomes. Learning environments
can be unpredictable and we often find ourselves not prepared to respond to comments, actions, or situations that arise that can be distracting, offensive, or harmful. Trauma mitigating practices are important to ensure safe and equitable
learning environments on zoom, in the lecture hall, or at the bedside.

The purpose of the learning environment advance planning protocols is to support high-quality teaching and learning through the implementation of practices during moments that pose threats to safety (and therefore learning) - physically, psychologically, and emotionally. If we identify strategies in advance, we can respond more effectively and compassionately, thus restoring safety and inclusive excellence en route to mission.
