More than 10 years ago, the ACGME adopted the six core competencies, one of which is Practice-based Learning and Assessment, which mandates that residents must be able to self-assess their strengths and weaknesses. Although there is ample evidence that medical students, residents and professionals are not effective self-assessors, there is also ample evidence that these comprise a skill set that can be taught/learned. Attend this workshop to learn ways in which self-assessment can be integrated into your educational program, so that students and residents can become more effective self-assessors.

This seminar will also be video-conferenced to the Jacksonville Deal Board Room and the Aetna Conference Room.

Following this session, attendees will be able to:  1.  Identify factors commonly associated with disruptive behavior by healthcare professionals;  2.  Distinguish examples of disruptive behavior from excusable behavior; and  3.  Formulate a step-wise plan for intervening in the case of a disruptive or distressed colleague.
This seminar will also be video-conferenced to the Jacksonville Deal Board Room and the Aetna Conference Room.

Clinical teaching microskills comprise a framework clinical teachers can use to engage students and residents in their learning and also to provide critically important feedback. Attend this workshop to discuss this effective 5-step framework, which includes Getting a Commitment from the learner, Probing the Learner for evidence to support his/her thoughts about a patient’s problem, Teaching a General Rule using a guiding principle or a metaphor, Providing Feedback to the learning on what he/she did correctly and Correct Mistakes to avoid repetition of any errors in thought process or conclusion(s).

This seminar will also be video-conferenced to the Jacksonville Deal Board Room and the Aetna Conference Room.
