Session One

Panel Session 3 | Alumni Center

A New Course for a New Era? Insight into the Development of an Integrative and Wholistic Character and Professionalism Course for Preclinical Medical Students

Moderator: Ashley Pavlic, MD, MA

What makes a good doctor? Skills beyond medical knowledge are required. A good doctor requires a sense and stability of self, the desire to practice virtue, excellent communication skills, understanding of health care disparities, and a willingness to be vulnerable, acknowledge mistakes, and grow. Our medical school has just rolled out a curricular redesign which was the result of years of deliberation and planning across all our three campuses. We discuss our experiences in the creation of a novel course, The Good Doctor, which addresses competencies surrounding character development, well-being, ethics, health equity, and communication skills. This course utilizes a longitudinal small group structure called “Learning Communities” to engage with medical schools’ most psychologically challenging content. We discuss how this course came to be and the initial feedback from the first three months.

Through this session, participants will (1) understand how our values have shifted what we accentuate in medical school, (2) discuss the collaborative process of course creation, including decisions about course content and structure and evaluation methods, and (3) review feedback and lessons learned from the first two months of the course.

Session Two

Workshop 5 | MEB, 3850

Toward Flourishing: A Novel Approach for Addressing Challenges in Medical Education

Facilitator: Jeff Fritz, MD

This workshop will begin with an overview of the Kern National Network’s framework for Flourishing in Medicine. Essential aspects for the framework in the promotion of flourishing – character, caring and practical wisdom – will be applied to current challenges in the UME or GME environment. The challenges will be selected by the attendees and could include equity in the admission process, overcoming bias in evaluation or remediation, integration of medical humanities in the promotion of profession, or successful transitions into UME and GME. The session will conclude with discussion on the promotion of flourishing within our spheres of influence.

Objectives:

1. Describe the current limitations to the full scope of OB/GYN practice in the state of Wisconsin, and explain its impacts on patient outcomes as well as resident medical training.
2. Compare various materials considered for the design of a low-cost, anatomically accurate pelvic model, and justify the choice of these materials through comparison with existing pelvic models.
3. Demonstrate several levels of OB/GYN procedural skills with the constructed model.
4. Analyze varying approaches to simulation-based medical education, and apply these approaches to innovation in other medical specialties.
