Panel Session 1 | MEB, 3860
Remediation in Healthcare Education
Moderator: Martin Muntz, MD
Daily, health professions educators struggle to find effective and respectful means to work with trainees who struggle to meet standards – most of whom will become practicing clinicians. Society allows and expects the health professions to regulate ourselves, and we must do so as a routine part of education. Drs. Calvin Chou and Adina Kalet will share insights gained from spearheading a second edition of their book, Remediation in Medical Education: A Midcourse Correction, which confirm that health professions education craves frameworks for understanding, diagnosing, and addressing the trainees who struggle and the training programs that work under stress to help them.
Through this session, participants will (1) define remediation in health professions education, (2) name elements of optimal remediation practices, for institutions as well as for learners who struggle, and (3) apply changes in remediation processes to participants' own cases.

Panel Session 2 | HRC, 1230
Tearing it Down and Starting From Scratch: Lessons Learned from a Complete Curriculum Revision
Moderator: Jacob Peschman, MD, MSPE
Many of the methods used to educate students and residents have been utilized for years primarily because they are the way things have always been done. In some cases, a completely new educational program is needed to better meet the needs of current learners. Any time a significant change occurs as part of a training program, there are implications for the faculty, learners, administrators and program culture, many of which can appear to be so significant that they ultimately prevent change from ever occurring. Our program accepted the need for a complete revision of our education program for General Surgery PG2-5 residents and undertook this change to a flipped classroom model with significant improvement in resident reported satisfaction with the program’s dedication to educational opportunities. The knowledge we gained in completely overhauling our curriculum likely includes overcoming many of the same challenges other programs considering revisions would face, and therefore this panel presents the opportunity for others to benefit from our experience.
Through this session, participants will (1) perform an evaluation of their resident curriculum to determine changes needed, (2) identify potential barriers to implementing curriculum revisions, (3) understand the faculty, learner and administrator perspectives of making a significant change to how education is delivered in a program, and (4) develop the first stages of an action plan to implement a programmatic change.
4 – 5 p.m.
Session One
World Café | HRC, 1210-1250
Enriching Educators Skill during Curriculum Change
Moderator: Karen Marcdante, MD
Facilitators: Chelsea Weaver, PhD; Kristina Kaljo, PhD; Sandra Pfister, PhD; Amy Bingenheimer, MLIS; Lana Minshew, PhD
The MCWfusion Curriculum is incorporating caring and character while moving toward a more individualized, active learning format. These changes require the refinement of current skills and the development of some new skills for our faculty. In a series of recent interviews, time was identified as the major concern by basic science and clinical faculty as well as educational staff. This World Café will allow stakeholders to provide their wisdom and ideas that will guide educators tasked with creating effective and efficient educational enrichment sessions (AKA faculty development) offerings. Participants will enter the Café and share their perspectives and ideas in response to a series of questions designed to help the team to create innovative, learner-centered, efficient and effective faculty development offerings for the ongoing development and implementation of MCWfusion.
