The tropics meet big‐city entertainment in this metropolis by the sea, where white sand beaches complement gli ering high rises, and a fascina ng intersec on of cultures creates an interna onal dining and entertainment scene like nowhere else in the United States. In the late 1800’s, Julia Tu le, the "Mother of Miami", convinced Standard Oil cofounder Henry Flagler to extend his railroad from central Florida to Miami, build a luxury hotel, and lay out a new town. She did so by sending him perfect Miami orange blossoms during a crop freeze north of Miami. The railroad arrived in 1896. The City of Miami was incorporated on July 28 that same year. Miami Facts:
 460+ hotels and motels and nearly 50,000 rooms  35 municipali es, including Miami‐Dade County, City of Miami, City of Miami Beach and Bal Harbour Village  Miami Interna onal Airport is currently the no. 2 gateway in the U.S. for interna onal passengers welcoming a total of 38.3 million passengers in 2011.  Professional Teams: Miami Marlins Baseball, Miami Dolphins Football, Miami Heat Basketball and Florida Panthers Hockey.  PortMIAMI, “Cruise Capital of the World,” handled more than 4 million passengers in 2011.  “Miami’s Cuban Coffee rated by Forbes Traveler as one of the country’s best “street food”.  Miami Beach’s Art Deco District contains the world’s largest collec on of Art Deco Architecture (800+ buildings)  Miami is also home to the largest concentra on of Bou que Hotels in the world.  Miami is home to the world’s only Everglades eco‐system.  Miami is home to 150+ ethnici es and 60+ languages. Miami provides the sun‐splashed se ng for all kinds of adventures—from teeing off on the golf course to taking off across the waves on a boat tour, or taking in the beauty and mystery of Everglades Na onal Park, the only subtropical preserve in North America. A thriving arts scene, dusk‐to‐dawn nightlife, great shopping and exci ng annual events are also a part of the mix in the Magic City, whose many charms never fail to enchant, cap vate and persuade visitors to come back for more. Transporta on: Miami Interna onal Airport is among the busiest airports in the world. There are over 80 airlines serving MIA to approximately 150 des na ons around the globe. See list below of ci es served by region (non‐stop flights). The Miami Interna onal Airport is located just 12 miles (just 18 minutes) from the Miami Beach Conven on Center. Page 10 of 81

Invited Sessions
(IS1) AAMC: ASSET and Curriculum Inventory
ASSET Workshop
Walter Fitz‐William, Terri Cameron, and Robby Reynolds
The Accredita on Standards Self‐Evalua on Tool (ASSET) is of one the tools in AAMC’s Medical Academic Performance Services (MedAPS). ASSET assists medical schools in accredita on prepara on by providing an online workflow that can be tailored to meet each school’s needs, with much of the quan ta ve data pre‐populated from AAMC and LCME sources, including the Annual LCME Ques onnaires, the Student Record System, FAMOUS (the AAMC Faculty Database), and the Curriculum Inventory. By providing a centralized online tool with workflow op ons, pre‐populated data, and a repository to collect referenced documents, ASSET allows schools to focus on analysis of data and development of the qualita ve responses to accredita on ques ons. The ASSET Workshop will provide an overview of the system, a tutorial on working with the system, and a discussion of how schools can use ASSET to assist with the LCME accredita on cycle, as well as school‐based accredita on standard compliance reviews, and con nuous quality improvement. (www.aamc.org/asset) Curriculum Inventory Workshop
Terri Cameron, Walter Fitz‐William, and Robby Reynolds
The Curriculum Inventory (CI) is of one the tools in AAMC’s Medical Academic Performance Services (MedAPS). It is a repository of curriculum data from US and Canadian medical and osteopathic schools that gathers data from school curriculum management systems to avoid duplicate data entry. Data is collected on an annual basis and is used in conjunc on with Annual LCME Ques onnaire Part II data to create Curriculum Inventory Reports, and to pre‐populate ASSET for schools preparing for accredita on. Curriculum Inventory Reports provide graphical benchmarking reports regarding curriculum structure, content, pedagogy, and competencies. The Curriculum Inventory Workshop will provide details of the data elements for upload to the Curriculum Inventory, how those elements are organized into an xml file based on the MedBiquitous Curriculum Inventory data exchange standard, how competencies are referenced in the file, and how to document challenging curriculum content such as clerkships, elec ves, selec ves, tracks, regional medical campuses, and small group learning. (www.aamc.org/cir ) (IS2) AAMC: Student Survey Update
The Medical Student Surveys Evolve: The Transforma on of the GQ
Anne Gill, DrPH, MS, BSN, Brenda Armstrong, MD, and Henry Sondheimer, MD
This session will highlight findings from analyses of the 2013 student surveys with a par cular emphasis on revisions to the Gradua on Ques onnaire (GQ). An updated Matricula ng Student Ques onnaire (MSQ) was piloted in 2013 with an increased focus on the personal characteris cs, interests, and goals of entering students. For the first me in 2013, all second‐year medical students were invited to par cipate in an anonymous ques onnaire, the Medical Student Life Survey (MSLS), which focused on the rela on among medical school learning climate, personal characteris cs, and student well‐being. This survey also included ques ons on gender iden ty and sexual orienta on. Ques ons from the MSLS will serve as the founda on for a new second‐year survey that will launch in the fall of 2014. Most importantly, the complete transforma on of the Gradua on Ques onnaire (GQ) has begun. The 2014 GQ was trimmed down, allowing new ques ons to be piloted on topics such as medical student competencies, entrustable professional ac vi es, and the learning climate in an cipa on of a completely re‐
vised GQ in 2016. (IS3) LCME Update
Barbara Barzansky, PhD, MHPE
The presenta on will describe recent and an cipated changes in LCME policies and standards, including the revision of accredita on standards that will go into effect for medical schools with surveys in the 2015‐2016 academic year. There also will be a discussion of research that iden fied factors correlated with the severe LCME accredita on ac ons.” Page 39 of 81

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (IS4) AAMC: Introducing the “Core Entrustable Professional Ac vi es for Entering Residency (CEPAER)”
Robert Englander, MD
A li le over a year ago the AAMC convened a panel of experts to delineate the Core Entrustable Professional Ac vi es (EPAs) that any MD entering residency should be able to do on day one without direct supervision. EPAs are ac vi es that professionals in a given stage in their career engage in on a day‐to‐day basis. EPAs are observable and measurable, have a defined outcome, and require cri cal competencies on the part of the learner to reach entrustment. The core EPAs were mapped to their competencies and milestones were created to describe the novice and competent learner for the competencies that mapped to the EPAs. At two stages in the process, we engaged a Reactor Panel with diverse perspec ves for feedback. This session will introduce these Core EPAs for Entering Residency, their descrip ons, cri cal competencies, and behavioral vigne es. (IS5) USMLE Step 2 CS Update
Kim Edward LeBlanc, MD, PhD
Discussion on the origin of the Clinical Skills exam, as well as data of examinees, men on of enhancements and sugges ons on improving the clinical encounter to assist examinees in passing. (IS6) Collabora ons Beyond Conferences 2014: SGEA Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
Janet F. Piskurich, PhD
Come to meet with, join or create an SGEA SIG! These member communi es share a common interest and foster communica on that may result in collabora ve research projects and/or implementa on of innova ve prac ces in their field of medical educa‐
on. Ac ve SGEA SIGs currently include student academic enhancement, science educa on in integrated curricula, program eval‐
ua on, evidence‐based teaching and faculty development in medical educa on. Others are now forming. This session will also describe the process to create your own new special interest group within the SGEA. (IS7) AAMC: PIVIO/MedAPS/MedEdPortal Update
Pivio Update
PJ Kania
Manage your Records, Master your Career Using Pivio ‐ A New Service from AAMC and NBME: An update and demonstra on of the new lifelong learning and career planning tool by AAMC and NBME called Pivio. The Pivio system will store and transfer data necessary for medical students, residents, and physicians across their careers. The tool will be a secure “lock box” that will enable users to share data with CVOs and others at the individual’s control. The session will focus on the intended purpose of the Pivio system specific to residents, provide a demonstra on of the system, and obtain a endee feedback on features and future system considera ons of this new and innova ve tool. MedAPS/MedEdPORTAL Update
Robby Reynolds, Emily Cahill, and Terri Cameron
AAMC’s development of the Medical Academic Performance Services (MedAPS) suite of services (Curriculum Inventory and Re‐
ports, Accredita on Standards Self‐Evalua on Tool, and ASSET Dashboard) is rapidly moving toward implementa on, and MedEdPORTAL has exci ng new features. This session will provide an update on the current status of each of these ini a ves and present an opportunity for par cipants to provide input for these and future projects and demonstrate how these tools will provide new, robust op ons that will help medical schools enhance their efforts to ins ll an environment of con nuous quality improvement across their missions and across the con nuum of medical educa on. (www.aamc.org/medaps; www.mededportal.org ) (IS8) AAMC: Teaching for Quality (Te4Q)
Nancy Davis, PhD, Director, Prac ce Based Learning and Improvement, AAMC

At the end of the workshop the par cipants will be able to: Collect data, Set up data files, enter data into data files, Check and clean data prior to analysis, Compare my sample to my popula on, and Address sta s cal issues discussed during consulta on with a sta s cian. (WS4) Administrator’s Workshop: Developing You: Steps to Develop Your Professional Footprint
Ginger Wilson
Coordinators/Administrators are great promoters of residents, faculty, students and even their families, but how are they at self promo on? This workshop will provide ways of taking on the challenge of flipping the a endee thought process to focus on self promo on and their added value. The a endee will be supplied with the knowledge of how to develop their self brand. The workshop will provide them with the understanding of why to transi on from a resume to a CV and the steps to develop one of the most im‐
portant sources of self promo on the por olio. This workshop will explain how to implement all of these skill sets into their professional development and to learn the fine line between self promo on and self boas ng. It will explore ways that these tools can help the a endee surpass their greatest challenge of “Developing You” and being comfortable with presen ng their added value and self promo on on their own behalf. (WS5) Administrator’s Workshop: Empowerment Not En tlement: Understanding Learning Styles To Meet the Needs of Your
Student Popula on
Ken Staack, MEd
Par cipants will be introduced to the characteris cs of adult learners and the different learning preferences a er comple ng a personal learning style assessment. Learning styles will be applied to case studies in small group discussion to recognize how iden fying learning styles empower students to ac vely monitor how they accept and master new informa on. Par cipants will understand student challenges from me management to test accommoda on and available resources. (WS6) MERC: Ques onnaire Design and Survey Research
Chris e Palladino, MD
This workshop will provide some basic principles in ques onnaire/survey design and give workshop par cipants an opportunity for hands‐on experience designing a ques onnaire. Par cipants in this workshop will learn to: Design a blueprint for a survey/
ques onnaire appropriate to their own applica on, Construct and edit ques ons to avoid common problems in wording and framing, Select an appropriate response format from a menu of alterna ves, and Design the overall format of the survey/

Workshops
(WS7) Shaping your Curricular Iden ty
Andrea Berry, Denise Kay, and Monica Bailey
Medical educators play an important role in defining instruc onal strategies u lized in medical school curricula. Using teaching, learning and student percep on‐based paradigms as a framework for discussion, par cipants will explore each paradigm and be able to make informed decisions about personal and ins tu onal pedagogic strategies that are congruent with their curricular and student development goals. (WS8) Transforming Educa onal Ac vi es into Scholarship
Shelia Crow and Alix Darden
Faculty engaged in academic medicine have full schedules requiring them to balance their teaching, research, and / or clinical ac vi es. All too o en, scholarship is an a erthought, if it is thought of at all. In 1990, Ernest Boyer outlined ways tradi onal scholarship should extend beyond research to include the scholarship of teaching, applica on, integra on, and discovery. This workshop will use a case‐based approach to show par cipants how to turn their teaching and learning ac vi es into high quality scholarship. Using a combina on of resources, including resources published on MedEdPORTAL, par cipants will apply a set of characteris cs to their own teaching and create an ac on plan for educa onal scholarship. (WS9) Presenta on Design for Medical Educators – A Missing Piece of Faculty Development
Malford Pillow
One of the cri cal pieces in becoming an invaluable educator is the ability to design and deliver effec ve presenta ons. O en, the tools used to supplement the lecture, usually Powerpoint, do not fully u lize educa onal and design principles to op mize learning. In addi on, educators may be unfamiliar with all of the so ware skills necessary to create effec ve presenta ons. The goal of this session will be to discuss, demonstrate, and prac ce the applica on of key educa onal design principles and several easy presenta on so ware elements that can be used to enhance your presenta ons for op mal learning and reten on. (WS10) A Model for a Cross‐Clerkship Curriculum in Evidence Based Medicine
Paul Mendez, Maria van Zuilen, Christopher Estes, and Stefanie Brown
This workshop showcases a third year cross‐clerkship curriculum in evidence based medicine designed to foster skills in the genera on of clinical ques ons, cri cal appraisal, and applica on of evidence to pa ent care. Workshop a endees will ac vely par cipate in segments of the structured “journal club” and discuss the poten al advantages and challenges of using this methodology at their own home ins tu ons. Individual flash drives will be distributed to all par cipants with a pre‐loaded toolkit they can take home with sample ar cles, quizzes, appraisal tools, OSCE materials and other resources to be used at their home ins tu ons. (WS11) Cultural & Linguis c Competence (CLC) in Healthcare: How to Plan, Write, Implement, and Evaluate Your CLC Plan
Heidi Saliba, Mobeen Rathore, and Nancy Giunta
With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, all clinical and other prac ces receiving federal funding are required to provide care in a culturally and linguis cally competent manner. This requires the wri ng, implementa on, and evalua on of an annual cultural and linguis c competence plan for each prac ce or organiza on. This workshop is designed so that a endees will leave with a working knowledge of what CLC is, what they as providers are required to do, and how to best analyze the strengths and opportuni es of their prac ce in delivering the most appropriate care to their clients. (WS12) Organizing Your Academic Self: Educator’s Por olio
Alix Darden and Sheila Crow
Educa on is considered one of the major ac vi es at medical colleges and yet many faculty do not know how to appropriately iden fy and document the quan ty and quality of their educa onal ac vi es. By contextualizing educa onal ac vi es with Glassick’s defini on of scholarly work and using published tools we will provide a framework for educators to appropriately represent themselves, and evaluate others, as educators.

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (WS13) Educa onal Scholarship Boot Camp: Preparing Your Educa onal Materials for Peer Review and Publica on and Cri ‐
cally Reviewing Educa onal Products
Maria van Zuilen and Carla Lupi
This workshop will prepare clinician‐educators to submit educa onal products for peer‐reviewed publica on and to par cipate in the peer‐review process. During the workshop, par cipants will review the elements of educa onal scholarship and the submission prepara on process for the most widely used online portal for medical educa on resources, AAMC’s MedEdPORTAL (MEP); they will also gain hands‐on prac ce in peer review using mock examples of MEP submissions of variable quality. The workshop will offer mentored me to prepare and/or revise submissions to MEP. This session is geared toward faculty in the early stages of developing educa onal materials as well as those with materials closer to submission. We encourage par cipants to bring in an educa onal resource for poten al publica on and a laptop to work on during the session. (WS14) Using Assessments to Iden fy At‐Risk Medical Students and Impact Learning and Performance
Kathy Gibbs, Angela Hairrell, David Henzi, Janet Piskurich, and Tammy Salazar
Medical students’ performance on assessments can be prescrip ve and/or preven ve. Integra ng and applying resources with results can make “the pieces fit” and impact students’ progression through the curriculum and scores on board and shelf examina ons. The purpose of this workshop is to iden fy assessments and the applica on of prescrip ve and preven ve resources, approaches and strategies used at four ins tu ons. The audience will be involved in case vigne e applica ons iden fying assessments and resources that could be used in their programs. *This proposal stems from feedback received from the session “Learning Environment – Academic Support Part 1: Logis cs of Academic Support Centers” given at the 2013 SGEA conference in Savannah, GA. (WS15) D.R.E.A.M.ING About Validity in Educa onal Assessment
Mary Rocha, Chris e Palladino, Lance Evans, Lara Stepleman
Educators are expected to evaluate learners and programs using valid methods, yet many lack training in the psychometric proper es of assessment tools. The goal of this workshop is to prepare par cipants to understand and apply validity evidence principles by performing a cri cal analysis of an assessment instrument through methods outlined by MedEdPORTAL's new Directory & Repository of Educa onal Assessment Measures (DREAM; www.mededportal.org/dream). DREAM is a 'user‐friendly, one‐stop shop repository for assessments' including a reflec ve summary of the validity evidence associated with their use. Par cipants will immediately apply validity concepts by cri cally appraising a published instrument for assessing consulta on skills. Par cipants will hone their skills in iden fying and cri quing validity evidence, which will prepare them to evaluate the quality of assessments they may wish to use in their curricula. A basic understanding of construct validity principles will maximize Par cipant success in this workshop, but is not essen al. (WS16) How to Make Your FM Clerkship Orienta on Ac ve and Engaging or How Can We Help Students Learn What We Really
Want Them to Learn?
Suzanne Minor, Ebony Whisenant, Irmanie Eliacin, and Marquita Samuels
Ac ve learning is an evidence‐based method for effec vely teaching students. Ac ve learning involves student engagement through ques oning, ac vi es, or wri ng o en during class and is different than passive learning which o en involves powerpoint or lecture. We revamped our orienta on into a more ac ve learning session in order to further help student understand our expecta ons of them during the clerkship as well as how to use the syllabus during the rota on. A endees at this workshop will be guided in upda ng their own orienta on into a more ac ve learning experience through ac ve learning techniques, including ques oning and discussion. Page 43 of 81

Small Group Discussion
(SG1) Improving Medical Educa on Across the Con nuum by Crea ng a Posi ve Learning Environment
Alisa Nagler, Lisa Howley, and Carol Thrush
A posi ve learning environment fosters learner success and is something undoubtedly UME and GME programs and ins tu ons strive to create. However, survey data and anecdotal feedback suggest there are mes and places where this is not the case. Much of crea ng a posi ve learning environment comes from the role faculty play as teachers. Academic faculty across the con nuum of medical educa on o en have li le or no training on how to be good educators. Changes in accredita on and medical educa on training require faculty development, and faculty are beginning to be held accountable for their performance as educators. Ins tu ons must play a role in developing faculty in their teaching role. As we require for l earners, faculty performance expecta ons should be clear with resources and tools provided to teach and support faculty in exceeding competence. This session will demonstrate a faculty development ini a ve using faculty par cipa on to iden fy and promote faculty competencies and a posi ve learning environment. (SG2) Learning the Ropes: What New Course Directors Need to Know
Carol Elam and Elza Mylona
New course directors may be appointed to their roles because of their content knowledge, teaching ability, and skill in interac ng with students. O en, however, they assume their du es without much insight into the ins tu on, the students, the curriculum, available support resources, and/or policies and procedures that may influence their effec veness as (SG3) Fair Measures: A Call to Transform our Thinking about the Assessment of Professionalism
Marin Gillis, Bill Allen, Cheryl Erwin, and Simon Williams
A major difficulty in assessing professionalism lies in deciding what one is to measure, whether it is knowledge, skills, behaviors, ap tude, virtues or a tudes. Knowledge, skills, and behaviors associated with being professional may be validly and reliably assessed. But what being professional is supposed to mean is being a good doctor and this leads into the grey territory of judgment and values. We contend that there are effec ve ways to manage assessment of the grey areas of professionalism, including effec ve professionalism remedia on. We invite par cipants to join educators from three different medical schools who have decades of teaching experience in academic affairs, professionalism, law, ethics and humanism in this interac ve session. (SG4) Competency‐Based Educa on and the Challenge of the Evidence‐Based Medicine Entrustable Professional Ac vity
Carla Lupi, Gerald Crites, W. Sco Richardson, and Stefanie Brown
The development of the “Core Entrustable Ac vi es for Entering Residency” poses several exci ng challenges to medical educators, especially for those ac vi es drawing on complex competencies for which feasible and robust curricular and evalua on tools have yet to be developed. This session will familiarize par cipants with the dra EPA on the evidence‐based medicine cycle and its rela onship to common themes in the prac ce‐based learning and improvement competencies within the exis ng GME milestones. Par cipants will develop a working defini on of this EPA and devise a recommenda on for the developmental milestones within the UME curriculum. The presenters hope to present this document to other groups (including GME and CME) to form a synthesized recommenda on for an integrated EBM educa onal policy across the con nua. (SG5) Introverted Medical Students: Their Challenges and Strengths in Today’s Medical Training Environment
Ralph Gillies, Bernard Davidson, and Allen Pelle er
Learners with an introverted thinking and social style may face greater challenges as medical schools adopt more interac ve teaching strategies and learning environments. Par cipants in this small group discussion will consider current defini ons and measures of introversion, examine medical educa on environments from the introverted learners’ perspec ve, and generate prac cal op ons for increasing the learning of both introverted and extraverted learners.

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (SG6) The Impact of Using “Entrustable Professional Ac vi es” to Guide Medical Student Educa on: A Discussion of
the Issues and Evalua on of Poten al Solu ons
Hugh Stoddard, Gordon Churchward, Erica Browfield, and J. William Eley
In recent years, na onal and interna onal medical organiza ons have specified the desired outcomes from medical training (e.g. ACGME Competency Domains, CanMEDS, Sco sh Doctor, MSOP, etc.). In addi on, the LCME dictates that each medical school must have objec ves that are, “stated in outcome‐based terms” (Standard 6.1/ED‐1‐A). Simultaneously, there has a trend towards the use of Entrustable Professional Ac vi es (EPA) (e.g. tenCate & Scheele; Acad Med 2007; 82: 542‐547) to define program outcomes of medical educa on (J of Grad Med Educ, “Milestones Supplement”, v5:1 supplement, March 2013). Most notable are the ACGME Milestones project (www.ACGME.org) and the AAMC project for Core Entrustable Professional Ac vi es for Entering Residency (h ps://www.mededportal.org/icollabora ve/resource/887). Transla ng the construct of EPAs into an outcomes framework that is meaningful for medical student educa on requires a nuanced understanding of what “entrustable” means, as well as defining professional ac vi es for students who are, by defini on, pre‐professional. This session will iden fy and address these two issues and will compare and contrast the viewpoints elicited from the session a endees with those adopted at one medical school.
(SG7) Scholarly Collabora on at a Distance: The Poten als and Challenges of Web‐based Solu ons for Establishing
Peer‐to‐Peer Networking and Communi es of Prac ce
Julie Gaines, Stephen McKenzie, Andrea Berry, Denise Kay, and Gerald Crites
Through a recent literature search and brainstorming session with SGEA leadership, one author iden fied me, distance, cost and communica on as barriers to doing peer‐to‐peer collabora on at a distance. With this small group discussion, they intend to lead par cipants into a reflec ve inquiry about the perceived goals of an online community, technical needs for distance collabora on, provide an overview of the available proprietary and nonproprietary web‐based solu ons, and iden fy the issues that remain unresolved with these solu ons or are inherent in them (e.g., logis cal, security, ins tu onal policy). Post‐session, the authors will capture and organize the discussion, post it on one of the free web‐based u li es and invite par cipants to a end an ongoing dialogue through this portal. (SG8) Learning from the Interprofessional Educa on (IPE) Success Stories: The Tales of Two Ins tu ons
Lori Graham, Elizabeth Nelson, Nadia Ismail, and Courtney West
Two ins tu ons share their experiences in determining how to effec vely design, implement and share best IPE prac ces. Interac ve discussion will form the basis of one approach to problem solving and working toward crea ng successful, sustainable curricula. Strategies will be addressed that will allow ins tu ons to move forward with respect to interprofessional educa on. (SG9) Unan cipated Posi ve Consequences: Transforming Professional Development for Medical Educators
Carol Elam, Elizabeth Nelson, Kathy Kreutzer, Gary Rosenfeld, and Sco Co rell
This session provides an opportunity for SGEA members to provide input into the development of the new AAMC medical educa on conference. A endees can share their ideas about pressing topics in medical educa on to be addressed in a na onal forum, and suggest unique approaches for presenta on that foster more peer‐to‐peer learning. Leaders from five professional organiza ons will discuss how their organiza ons may respond to changes in AAMC educa onal programming. (SG10) Preparing Students for Residency During Their Fourth Year of Medical School
Lisa Mar nez, Paul Mendez, Gauri Agarwal, Michelle Schwartz, Pablo Rabosto, and David Graham
The fourth year of medical school is o en a point of much discussion, as its role in the educa on of medical students is o en not clear. During this interac ve small group discussion, a endees will review components of the fourth year of medical school that have been debated in the literature. They will also discuss different fourth year curricular models, the strengths of each model, and poten al methods of incorpora ng these strengths into their own programs. Page 45 of 81

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (SG11) Do Scholarly Concentra on Programs Contribute To Las ng Scholarship?
Ingrid Bahner, Susan Pross, and Alex Mechaber
This session will discuss the complex issue of assessing the long‐term outcomes and impacts that scholarly concentra on programs have on the prac ce of medicine. Although most programs monitor the scholarly progress of their par cipants while in school, currently there is no study repor ng the long‐term integra on of scholarship in the prac ce of medicine by program graduates. Many challenges are associated with doing such long‐term outcome analyses including, but not limited to, defining scholarship in the prac ce of medicine and obtaining relevant data from program graduates. The goal of this session is to explore these challenges, develop strategies to address them and to share data as available. (SG12) Don’t Overcook the Medical Student! What is the Right Recipe for Academic Assistance?
Tammy Salazar, Janet Piskurich, David Henzi, Kathy Gibbs, and Angela Hairrell Research indicates that learning strategies are significant factors in achievement in medical schools (West & Sadoski, 2011). Other aspects of the learning environment such as communica on skills and social media use may also play apart in the success of students. Early learners tend to have deficits in medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, me management and organiza on, communica on, and mental well‐being while advanced learners may have deficits in professionalism, clinical judgment, me management and organiza on and interpersonal skills (Guerrasio, 2013). Iden fying areas of difficulty, overcoming barriers, and remedia ng these issues can be a challenge for medical professionals who work with students. Some of the barriers that exist are ming, lack of willingness of evaluators to report, fears of repercussions, poor feedback, and resistance of the student. Building a remedia on plan to support the student should consist of iden fying the issue, deliberate prac ce, feedback and self‐assessment. This type of assistance does not end at the first year of medical school and goes across the con nuum of medical educa on. The goal of this session is to discuss this type of support. Page 46 of 81

(DS1) Communica ng Effec vely During Medical Emergencies: Integra ng an Online, Pre‐Session Learning Module with
Medical Simula on to Train Undergraduate Medical Students in Effec ve Communica on Skills Using the SBAR (Situa on,
Background, Assessment, Recommenda on) Framework
Ansley Splinter, Vivian Obeso, Melissa Ward‐Peterson, Rebecca Toonkel, Leslie Bofill, Chris ne Ma hews
Communica on is an essen al skill for medical professionals and simula on has been shown to be a valuable method of training and assessment in this area. In an effort to train students to use effec ve, organized, and accurate communica on skills in an emergent situa on, a pre‐session, online learning module was created for students to complete prior to par cipa ng in a simula on scenario. To create the online module, faculty adapted the SBAR (Situa on, Background, Assessment, and Recommenda on) framework originally proposed by Michael Leonard and colleagues. Students were instructed to complete this interac ve, self‐paced module prior to the simula on session in order to arrive at the session prepared to appropriately apply the SBAR framework to the clinical scenario. This blended approach to learning has helped standardize the curriculum, maximize the amount of hands‐on training me during the simula on scenario, and provide opportuni es to assess for mul ple Entrustable Professional Ac vi es (EPAs) early on in undergraduate medical educa on.

Anupam Kumar, Jay Johnson, Yamel Hall, Tepparit Wiphatphumiprates, Amy Fleming, and S.Toufeeq Ahmed
During this session we will demonstrate the use of a mobile applica on VSTAR Compass (h p://vstarcompass.com) we implemented and are currently pilot tes ng to improve the clerkship student feedback process from supervising residents and physicians. We will show how students can open the applica on on any mobile device or computer and select the faculty member or resident who observed them . This will trigger the app to send an email to the faculty member, who will provide feedback a er clicking a link. The student will be able to immediately view this feedback both in the applica on itself, and through a dashboard linked to the exis ng learning management system. Lastly, we will demonstrate the ability of a mentoring faculty member to view all aggregated feedback in order to provide meaningful guidance for improvement.

Morayma Cubero, Micah Marshall, Margaret Orr, Carolyn Castro‐Pagan, Chassity White, Soraya Smith, Alexandria Lewis
PACTS is a mul ‐faceted database developed at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine (UCF COM), which allows users to overcome two opera onal challenges: hospital creden aling for medical students (years 1‐4) at mul ple clinical sites; and determining pre‐clinical placement venues for student as part of the Prac ce of Medicine course (years 1 and 2). The database was created to address challenges faced by all the stake holders, including students, hospital affiliates, and college faculty and staff. The goal of this project is to standardize and streamline our processes through the crea on of a secured database that shares creden aling process and improves communica on that be er serves all stake holders. Prior to PACTS, the college was dependent on mul ple Excel spreadsheets to track a student’s hospital creden aling from their pre‐clinical years through their clinical years. It is essen al to have a college system that is centralized to protect the iden ty of the stu‐

The mission of DREAM is to achieve excellence in health sciences educa on by providing easyto‐ locate, publically accessible informa on about assessment tools to health science educators, educa onal researchers, and program/curriculum evaluators. This demonstra on will be useful to a) educators, who can u lize DREAM as a resource to iden fy assessments appropriate for their courses, clerkships, or curricula; b) educa onal administrators, who are responsible for the evalua on of their overall educa onal program and the quality of the assessments which make up that evalua on; and c) educa onal researchers, who can u lize assessments in DREAM for their research and who may be par cularly interested in serving as an author or peer reviewer for the DREAM Collec on. (DS7) The Card Sor ng Game: An Educa onal Approach that Promotes Coopera ve Peer Learning
Maria van Zuilen
The card sor ng game format is the basis for two small group teaching sessions in the Geriatrics part of the curriculum at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The purpose of this session is to demonstrate the card sor ng game format, present strategies for effec ve implementa on, and showcase how these teaching sessions fit into a broader competency‐based curriculum. In these highly interac ve sessions, learners apply their medical knowledge by sor ng cards in the appropriate category. While learners are challenged to explain their own ra onale for their selec ons, this instruc onal format also allows students to pool their knowledge and help each other learn. This coopera ve learning format promotes peer learning and establishes a safe learning environment. Page 48 of 81

Physician Workforce
Julie Servoss, Barry Linger, and Michael Smith
The na onal call to diversify the physician workforce is based on two main reasons: to provide culturally competent care to an increasingly diverse popula on and to address growing health inequi es in minority popula ons. HBCUs are an enriched source of minority, par cularly African‐American, pre‐medical students. HBCUs are also the most successful at recrui ng, retaining and gradua ng students interested in STEM disciplines, including medicine. Partnerships between HBCUs and medical schools are an important and underu lized strategy to diversify the physician workforce. (OP2) Relieving the GME Bo leneck in Florida
Mary Elizabeth Roth and Bernardo Obeso
In 2013 Florida medical school graduates from LCME and AOA program face the dilemma of too few GME posi ons to stay in Florida in careers of their choice. As much as 40 % of Florida medical school graduates leave the state for residency and fellowship. Loaded on this burden, thousands of off shore and overseas medical school graduates, many born and raised in Florida, feel shut out of GME in Florida. This has become known as the GME bo leneck at the AAMC. (OP3) Transi oning Quality Community Hospitals into Academic Medical Centers
Mary Elizabeth Roth, Bernardo Obeso, and Diane Fitz
Today's shortage of teaching hospitals for medical students and GME creates the challenge to develop new academic medical centers from the quality hospitals remote form the medical school that win quality awards and generate secondary and ter ary care. This team describes the steps to bring a community's leadership and hospital into the 21st century academic medical center answering the calls to teach, serve the public and generate scholarly ac vity. ACGME and LCME needs new resources for clinical educa on with academic standards of the tradi onal medical school hospital. (OP4) Family Medicine Accelerated Track (FMAT) Update on the 3‐year MD
Betsy Jones, Simon Williams, Ron Cook, and Vaughan Lee
Our ins tu on has implemented a 3‐year accelerated medical school curriculum that culminates in the MD degree and prepares students for a standard 3‐year family medicine residency. Par cipants in this session will be able to describe the program’s progress to date, evaluate its likely impact, and offer input, advice and collabora on on this and similar innova ons. (OP5) HEAL‐X: Tulane's Accelerated Curriculum for PhD's Becoming MD's
N. Kevin Krane, Byron Crawford, Rajunor E arh, Marc Kahn, and Jennifer Gibson The curriculum for medical educa on in most medical schools has undergone significant change over the past decade by incorpora ng integra on of basic and clinical sciences, ac ve and self‐directed learning and early clinical experiences. However, the criteria for the selec on of students and the length of their educa on have undergone li le if any change. Tulane University School of Medicine therefore implemented a new, concurrent curriculum, the Health Educa on Adap ve Learning Experience (HEAL‐X), for 15 students with PhDs in the biomedical sciences, who matriculate into a 3 1/2 yr program that runs parallel to the tradi onal curriculum. The preclinical curriculum is designed as an integrated, systems‐based modular, non‐lecture forma ed curriculum that focuses on self‐directed and ac ve learning. We will present the ini al experience with Tulane's HEAL‐X Program and discuss the op ons and opportuni es for accelerated medical educa on programs. Page 49 of 81

Andrew Moses and Carla Lupi
Team based learning is a rela vely new pedagogy in medical educa on yet challenging for faculty. Data to guide faculty development needs are lacking. We conducted a survey of students exposed to mul ple TBL’s by a variety of faculty and elicited specific comments to guide faculty development. (OP7) Group Learning Rapidly Plateaus for New Student Learning Teams Using the Team‐Based Learning Method
Gerald Crites
No research to date has es mated the number of group learning exercises needed for students assigned to new Team‐based Learning (TBL) teams to show a plateau in group performance and social learning. The author shows that, with 106 second year medical students experienced with the TBL method, both group performance on TBL tasks and social learning appear to plateau a er three group learning ac vi es. If these results can be confirmed, then reassigning students to new teams should have a very brief impact on group learning.

(OP9) Have We Dehumanized the Pa ent in Problem Based Learning?
Karen Szauter, Mark Clark, Anne Rudnicki, Susan Gerik, Ann Frye, Cheryl Vaiani, Virginia Niebuhr, Oma Morey, and Mark Holden
Medical school curricula have embraced Problem Based Learning (PBL) methodology to engage learners in explora on of biomedical and behavioral science principles in pre‐clinical coursework. PBL case development is challenging and requires careful mapping of learning objec ves. Prompted by recent discussions on pa ent centered care and cultural awareness, we ques oned whether our PBL cases gave adequate descrip ons of the “person”, and whether demographic and socio‐cultural variables of the people represented in the cases included broad representa on when assessed across the curriculum.

(OP12) Professionalism: Can We Assess Its Many Facets?
Chris e Palladino, James Halbert, Lindsay Blake, Kathy Davies, Steven Lieberman, and Lara Stepleman
Professionalism is seen as a central component of physicians’ responsibility to pa ents and society. Yet professionalism, as currently defined in medical educa on, is an evolving, mul ‐faceted domain of competence. To measure professionalism in our learners, we need a variety of assessment tools that can capture the different facets of professionalism. As part of a larger curriculum development project, we designed a systema c literature review to iden fy assessments that capture seven facets of professionalism. (OP13) Learning Environment Surveys and Survey Fa gue: How Many Items are Necessary?
Hugh Stoddard, Erica Brownfield, Gordon Churchward, and J. William Eley
To demonstrate compliance with LCME accredita on standards ED‐31‐A, medical schools o en rely on student surveys of the learning environment. Students are requested to respond to a large number of evalua on surveys on a regular basis throughout their medical school career. Furthermore, all senior students at AAMC schools in the United States are expected to complete the Gradua on Ques onnaire which takes 45 minutes or more to complete. This large burden of evalua on surveys can lead to survey fa gue and a consequent reduc on of response rates or unreliable responses (Porter, 2004). At one medical school, a learning environment survey was distributed to students monthly leading to an concern amongst the leadership about students’ investment of me and survey fa gue. To reduce survey fa gue for students, results from a learning environment survey about instruc onal quality during required clerkships were analyzed to find an underlying factor structure that would guide a redesign of the survey form to reduce the burden on students. (OP14) What Happens on Facebook Stays on Facebook: Student Beliefs about Social Media and Their Rela onship to
Measures of Professional and Personal Iden ty
Cayla Teal and Stephen Greenberg
Literature suggests that medical students use and perceive social media in ways that can raise professionalism concerns. Recent studies of student and faculty perspec ves on social media has suggested that students make a more dis nct separa on between their professional and personal iden es than do faculty and administrators, and that perhaps students’ unprofessional behavior is linked to this dis nc on. This study explored the rela onships between students’ beliefs about social media prac ce and iden ty. (OP15) Rela onships Between Study Strategies and Self‐Directed Learning in Entering Medical students ‐ A Two Ins tu on
Study
Tammy Salazar, Courtney West, Janet Piskurich, Mark Sadoski, Naomi Lacy, and Angela Hairrell
Although research suggests that prematricula on data such as MCAT and science GPA can help iden fy students who may have academic difficulty in medical school (Donnon, 2007), there is too much variability to accurately predict which students may be considered at‐risk. An emerging concept for predic ng medical students’ performance is the role of study skills. Findings in a recent study (West & Sadoski 2011) indicated that two study strategies, me management and self‐tes ng, predicted academic performance in medical school. Since there is a separate emphasis for medical schools to encourage self‐directed and life‐long learning (AAMC, 1993), we hypothesize that study skills and self‐directed learning are similar and should be examined together to be er understand students with academic difficulty. This study explores rela onships between study skills and self‐directed learning readiness. This is the first step in deepening our understanding of skills that lead to success in medical school.

Mark Holden, Virginia Niebuhr, Karen Szauter, Mark Clark, Anne Rudnicki, Oma Morey, Cheryl Vaiani, Susan Gerik, and Ann Frye
Principles highly relevant to the prac ce of medicine o en do not fit within specific disciplines or training levels, but rather span the con nuum and should be integrated broadly within medical training. To address this, our medical school introduced five longitudinal themes into our curriculum. Content related to professionalism, one of the themes, has been interwoven into all courses and clerkships. To ensure that we were reaching our goal of achieving ver cal and longitudinal coordina on of theme content, we elected to perform a detailed review of the theme content in our pre‐clinical educa onal materials. The pre‐clinical curriculum is organized into ten basic science/organ system courses. Page 52 of 81

Affec ve, communica ve, and professional development were le to the vicissitudes of the appren ceship phase of the curriculum, when observa on and mentorship by experienced physicians were expected to transmit the expected behaviors to the student. The randomness of this process and the realiza on that some physicians are lacking in fundamental communica on competency has driven the public to demand a higher communica on standard from their physicians.

Robert Casanova, Elizabeth Tombs, and Tiffani Wise
Errors in the healthcare arena are the eighth largest cause of death in the United States with miscommunica on among healthcare professionals accoun ng for 70% of actual and near miss events. Interprofessional Educa on (IPE), the process of teaching healthcare professionals from two or more disciplines in an environment of coopera on and teamwork, is one strategy to improve communica on and collabora on. In IPE, learners and teachers learn how the different disciplines can work together to provide be er care for our pa ents. True IPE requires collabora on between par cipants, the teacher becoming more of a facilitator, encouraging interac on between the disciplines. "Interprofessional educa on has been associated with enhanced pa ent care and health outcomes in a range of clinical contexts" (Silver & Leslie, 2009). The purpose of this program was to introduce nursing students, medical students and residents to TeamSTEPPS at an early stage in their educa on with emphasis on SBAR (Situa on, Background, Assessment, Recommenda on) style communica on techniques with the goal of addressing stereotypes and barriers to communica on affec ng pa ent care.

(PS1) Leadership Educa on and the Development of Professional Competencies in US and Canadian Based Medical Schools
Jaime Franco, Marin Gillis, and Eneida Roldan
Today, now than ever before, medical schools are required to provide assurances that medical students and graduates exhibit specific professional competencies that are appropriate and that serve as the founda on for providing quality health care in various se ngs and to various popula ons. To this end, various leadership development tools used in the corporate business environment (e.g., emo onal intelligence and mul ‐rater assessments) can be used in medical educa on to coach‐‐and to a certain degree‐‐train students to leverage their inherent [emphasis added] knowledge, skills, and abili es. In prac ce, professional competencies are vast, elusive, and integrated into the medical curriculum o en mes haphazardly. However, research suggests that professional competencies must be integrated at various touch‐points along the medical curriculum and co‐curriculum such as in the classroom and at the pa ent bedside. Given pervasive cost containment ini a ves in higher educa on, most medical schools are challenged to do more with less such as forever expanding the curriculum to meet accredita on standards and ins tu onal requirements within a confined period of me. Furthermore, given the impending changes to our health care system, it is impera ve that medical educators prepare students to effec vely and efficiently navigate evolving health care systems without compromising pa ent care. And, this is accomplished by training them how to leverage and maximize their competencies. The curricular integra on of leadership development content in medical educa on appears promising because it has a tradi on of focusing on developing an individual’s competencies in the various roles he or she may play. In addi on, leadership development content is mul ‐disciplinary and mul ‐dimensional. (PS2) Competency Linking Student Self‐Assessments in a Pediatric Clerkship
Jeremy Gibson, Katherine Gallagher, Theresa Lykins, and Collen Colbert
Studies comparing student self‐assessments to external measures during clerkships have shown poor correla ons between the two (1‐4). Physician self‐assessment skills are typically considered to be poor (5).

Joan St. Onge, Robert Kozol, Julie Belkowitz, Amy Zito, Daniel Lichtstein, Gauri Agarwal
An increasing number of medical schools are using alterna ves to the tradi onal clerkship structure to train medical students. The community preceptor model has been used in primary care based clerkships at some ins tu ons. Longitudinal integra on has also been used in place of tradi onal clerkships in the third year. Studies describing these programs and their effect on educa onal outcomes have been mixed. The Regional Campus of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (UMMSMRC) has implemented an integrated surgery clerkship which incorporates a preceptor based model. We describe the clerkship, and major outcomes including the learning opportuni es, student evalua ons, assessment of medical knowledge, as well as career choice.

Pa ent care is improved when members of disciplines from wide‐ranging fields such as medicine, nursing, pharmacy, social work, and physical therapy work in collabora on to share their unique pa ent care perspec ve (Ins tute of Medicine 2001, WHO). The Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collabora ve Prac ce (2011) were developed in an effort to generate trust, respect, shared accountability and decision‐making and effec ve teamwork to op mize pa ent care. Interprofessional educa on (IPE) is defined as “when two or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collabora on and the quality of care”(1). The Carnegie Founda on (2009) recommends that healthcare educators create new models that teach their students to not only collaborate with one another, but form teams with shared goals to improve pa ent outcomes through IPE(5) . Building upon an experience in which second year medical students and nursing students worked in small groups to enhance and role play communica on skills, we developed an IPE experience using the modality of team based learning focusing on communica on skills to minimize the occurrence and the ethics of disclosure of medical errors. The medical school and nursing school faculty worked in partnership to develop and implement this experience. (PS6) Peer Mentoring Academic Program (PMAP)
Ella Uwaibi, Tené Sablo, and Lou Ann Cooper
Star ng medical school can be a difficult transi on. Students struggle with developing effec ve study methods, adjus ng to the rigorous pace, and dealing with the psychological pressures of medical school. Failure to adjust quickly enough to the pace of medical school and the absence of a strong science background are frequently cited in the literature. A needs assessment for the University of Florida College of Medicine (UFCOM) was conducted by implemen ng four focus groups comprised of students from the Class of 2016 during the summer between their first and second years. Students were asked ques ons about their experiences and opinions regarding their transi on into their first year of medical school. An analysis of the tran‐
scrip ons of the focus groups suggested several common themes, including: difficul es establishing studying techniques and the need for academic mentorship from upperclassmen. The analysis also suggested that students would prefer a longitudinal program over a tradi onal pre‐matricula on program. Therefore, in August 2013 we ins tuted an op onal on‐campus Peer Mentoring Academic Program (PMAP), available to all incoming first year UFCOM students (h p://counseling.med.ufl.edu/
pmap). PMAP has two components: ‐ Peer‐led academic support workshops to teach incoming students the study skills needed to foster success in the medical school curriculum ‐ A peer mentorship component to provide incoming students with social/emo onal support, encouragement, and guidance (PS7) Ins tu onal Climate and Medical Students’ Percep ons of their A tudes, Needs, and Skills in the Conduct of Re‐
search: Does Gender Ma er?
Carol Elam, Craig Ziegler, Karen Miller, Linda Dunatov, Susan McDowell, and Michael Rowland
We sought to determine whether there were gender differences in percep ons about, and interests in, the conduct of research across osteopathic and allopathic medical students in Kentucky. We administered an electronic survey to 1200 medical students to gauge their percep ons regarding their research a tudes and needs, the research climate at their medical school, and their level of research skills. As compared to males, women medical students gave lower ra ngs to their research a tudes and needs and their research skills. Addi onal research should be conducted to determine ini a ves that medical educators can take to increase the research interests and skills of their female medical students.

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (PS9) A Unique Community Collabora on for Rural Health Care Exposure
Joanna Drowos, Sarah Wood, and Lawrence Brickman
Each third year medical student from the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlan c University is assigned to spend one day observing medical care in a geographically isolated rural and culturally unique community hospital in Palm Beach County. This brief experience is coordinated through a partnership with the local taxing district that owns Lakeside Medical Center, as well as an Osteopathic Family Prac ce Residency Program based there. Program goals include exposure to rural health care, medically underserved pa ents, culturally unique popula ons and collabora on with resident teams. Preliminary feedback reveals that students enjoy the experience and share though ul insights about the community and care they receive. (PS10) A Hybrid Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship Model: Blending Inpa ent and Outpa ent Experiences
Sarah Wood, Lawrence Brickman, Joanna Drowos, and Lindsey Henson
The Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine is a new community‐based medical school without an academic health center. A core principle agreed by faculty is that con nuity with pa ents, faculty, peers, advisers, and health care systems is fundamental to developing students’ clinical skills and knowledge. We therefore were commi ed from the ini al planning stages to delivering Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs) during year three (1‐4). Our challenge was to create an LIC model that would be sustainable given our resources and could blend the need for con nuity within the inpa ent and outpa ent se ngs. (PS11) Development, Implementa on, and Assessment of a Longitudinal Simula on Curriculum for the Management of

Vivian Obeso, Ansley Splinter, Rebecca Toonkel, Melissa Ward‐Peterson, and Chris ne Ma hews
To address the need for a longitudinal approach to residency preparedness, our faculty developed the RAPID (Responding Appropriately to a Pa ent In Distress) training program, a simula on‐based curriculum that fosters progressive implementa on and deliberate prac ce throughout undergraduate medical training. The RAPID training program will assess student performance in emergency situa ons before they enter residency. (PS12) A Novel Task‐Based Learning Por olio: Developing Medical Students’ Reflec ve Prac ce Ability by Integra ng
Across Competencies
Suzanne Weiner, Ellen Eisenberg, George Luck, Joseph Ouslander, and Lindsey Henson
Por olios are used across the medical educa on con nuum, o en serving as collec ons of evidence about procedures, pa ents, exam scores, work products, or feedback from pa ents, peers, or supervisors. Learning por olios include such evidence but also require 1) ac ve reflec on to iden fy areas of rela ve strength and weakness, 2) development and implementa on of learning plans to improve performance, and 3) reflec on on outcome – a reflec ve prac ce cycle. Medical school learning por olios usually address individual competencies, while professional competence is a contextual capacity that demands integra on of competencies (JAMA 2002:287;226). Our novel por olio uses tasks to focus students’ reflec ve prac ce skills on integra ng the mul ple competencies needed in prac ce. Our first class matriculated in 2011 in a curriculum that starts with 18 months of integrated basic science and clinical courses, with 10 hours a week in small group ac vi es, followed by a 3rd year with two 6‐month Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships, and a tradi onal elec ve/selec ve 4th year. The curriculum structure provides the context for the yearly tasks for our learning por olio. Page 58 of 81

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (PS13) Integra ng Basic and Clinical Science Using Macronutrient Nutri on
Amy Medlock and Stephen Goggans
The GRU UGA Medical Partnership is a four year regional campus with a highly integrated curriculum where basic and clinical faculty work closely to implement the program of study. Basic science faculty contribute depth and new informa on to several sessions in the first year doctoring course and clinical faculty are called upon to add help add relevance and authen city to basic science sessions. These collabora ve efforts and sessions have facilitated the integra on of basic and clinical sciences in the curriculum. One integrated session presented in the doctoring course focuses on macronutrient nutri on. This session uses a new ac ve learning format in which students work in teams to first synthesize informa on and then apply that informa on to complex cases. The objec ves of the session include learning important dietary recommenda ons, rela ng those to the underlying biochemistry and applying the informa on to common outpa ent clinical situa ons. Prior to the session each student analyzed their own 24 hour food recall using the online USDA resource Super Tracker. In class the students worked in teams to review the team members’ 24 hour food recall analyses. The class as a whole then discussed trends and surprises from the analysis. Teams then worked through a two part case in which they were asked to assess and provide recommenda ons for a pa ent during an office visit. Students answered several ques ons which were discussed with the class as a whole and the faculty provided clarifica on and depth. The overall response from students of the session was posi ve and student performance on seven exam ques ons averaged 89%. The class discussion during the session provided insight to the instructors on addi onal informa on to include for clarifica on and depth in subsequent years. In addi on, planning and debriefing of the session highlighted addi onal areas in which nutri on could be incorporated into the exis ng curriculum. (PS14) Integrated Management of Fragmented Parts: Re‐conceptualizing the Structure of the Curriculum Commi ee
Erica Brownfield, Hugh Stoddard, Gordon Chruchward, and J. William Eley
An innova ve organiza onal structure for the curriculum commi ee was created and implemented to increase faculty involvement, expand oversight of the program, and improve communica on between stakeholders. In 2007, the Emory University School of Medicine ini ated a new curriculum. The curriculum was integrated across all 4 years of the MD program and offered many op ons for students. As a consequence of this integra on and individualiza on, management of the curriculum became disjointed, me consuming, and inefficient. Educa on leaders in the school of medicine designed a new structure for curriculum management. Founda onal to the new structure were the iden fica on and delega on of all tasks of a curriculum commi ee to mul ple sub‐commi ees and a system design that facilitated communica on.

Future physicians must be educated to efficiently and effec vely conduct literature search and apply formal rules of evidence evalua ng the clinical literature. Cri cal Thinking and Evidence‐based Medicine is not new to our medical school, however, we believe, by introducing an integrated, interac ng, and inter‐related 5‐year course of ac on, the overall effec veness of the MD program in cri cal thinking and EBM will be further improved. Our CARE curriculum will be evaluated by clearly defined and documented learning outcomes, including data from course embedded assignments, United States Medical Licensing Exam Step 1 & 2, Associa on of American Medical Colleges Gradua on Ques onnaires etc. (PS16) Interprofessional Educa on: Evalua on of a Pilot Program

To assist and fully support a new, accelerated BS‐MD program, a mentorship program was conceived and implemented to match incoming undergraduate freshmen at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) with rising second‐year medical students at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Medical School (UTHSCSA). The purpose of this study is to inves gate students’ sa sfac on with the mentorship program in its inaugural year. (PS18) Use of a Mul ‐ICU Course To Improve Understanding of Cri cal Care Topics in 4th Year Medical Students
William Cutrer, Tracy McGrane, Liza Weavind, Arna Banerjee, and Kimberly Lomis
Tradi onal curricula situate the teaching of founda onal sciences predominantly in the classroom, pre‐requisite to clinical experiences. Much of this material would be developmentally more appropriate in later stages of training. However, variability of student experiences has been cited as a limita on to the consistent delivery of content in the clinical se ng. Faculty were charged to create courses that incorporate explicit teaching of the underlying science into the learning and delivery of clinical medicine. Cri cal care medicine prac ced in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) environment offers a unique opportunity for learners to interact tangibly with core physiology and pharmacology principles and pair the learning of founda onal science with clinical care. (PS19) U lizing Team‐Based Learning for Content Review in an Integrated First‐Year Medical Curriculum
Deborah Louda, Ana Maria Azzarolo, Michelle Lizo ee‐Waniewski, Lindsey Henson, Vijaya Iragavarpu, and Pablo Rabosto
The Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine at Florida Atlan c University has an integrated curriculum for the basic sciences that uses Problem‐Based Learning (PBL) and other small‐group learning experiences along with didac c lectures. Team‐Based Learning (TBL), although conducted in a large‐group se ng, offers many of the same poten al benefits as PBL, such as increased depth of learning, improved ability to apply knowledge, development of interpersonal skills, and enhanced mo va on through student engagement. Since the principles of TBL fit well with our educa onal philosophy, we recently introduced some TBL sessions in the first‐year courses while s ll retaining many didac c lectures. Our ini al TBL sessions received a mixed response from students. While students perceived the sessions as both useful and enjoyable, they reported that mixing TBL sessions with didac c lectures on the same general topic within the same meframe produced a somewhat disjointed experience. To avoid this issue and at the same me exploit the benefits of TBL, we decided to use TBL as a format for review and integra on of content rather than for the introduc on of new content. (PS20) Integra on of Lifelong Learning Skills into the First Year Medical Curriculum at the Charles E. Schmidt College of
Medicine
Michelle Lizo e‐Waniewski, Ana Maria Azzarolo, Deborah Louda, Rainald Schmidt, Tiffany Moxham, and Lindsey Henson
It is widely accepted that a key characteris c of successful physicians is the ability to obtain and u lize lifelong learning (LLL) skills throughout their careers (Li et al, 2010; Murdoch‐Eaton and Whi le, 2012). Many medical schools now incorporate some type of student‐directed learning as part of their curricula. It has been theorized that integra on of such methods can intrinsically impart LLL skills such as self‐directed learning, resource organiza on and integra on, and self‐evalua on (Dunlap, 2003). We hypothesize that a more explicit approach to learning and incorpora ng these essen al skills may be more beneficial to medical students. (PS21) Improving the Internal Medicine Subspecialty Clinic Experience Through a Learner‐Directed Interven on
Emily Castellanos and Leora Horn
The ambulatory clinical experience is an integral component of the general internal medicine residency. However, the crea on of a suitable educa onal outpa ent subspecialty experience is challenging due to the scheduling constraints of the rota on. With limited me allo ed for each subspecialty clinic, residents may work with mul ple faculty members in a two week block. This can result in an inconsistent, heterogeneous experience for the resident as faculty members have varying familiarity with each resident’s skills, background, and interests. We hypothesized that familiarizing faculty with individual resident interests, background knowledge, and needs prior to their clinic rota on would help overcome the problem of transiency in the outpa ent educa onal se ng and improve the resident‐faculty experience.

This interdisciplinary exercise of medicine, nursing and pharmacy students focuses on communica on skills and requires that par cipants discuss responsibility for a pa ent error and then disclose the error to a pa ent's emo onal family member. Actor observa ons from the exercise reveal both desirable and undesirable communica on strategies. Students appear unaware that team‐based communica on strategies are more effec ve and more posi vely received by pa ents or family members. The simulated experience causes students to iden fy with another and serves as a founda on for a debriefing exercise in which facilitators help students to recognize common barriers to discussing pa ent care issues with members of other disciplines.

Bri any Ange, Andria Thomas, and Paul Wallach
Students are entering medical school with varying undergraduate degrees and diverse backgrounds. An undergraduate engineering degree is designed with an emphasis on problem solving skills development. The preclinical curriculum at the Medical College of Georgia at Georgia Regents University has more of an emphasis on learning large amounts of informa on through memoriza on. This study examined how medical students with an engineering degree performed in the first two years of medical school compared to their peers. A er adjus ng for undergraduate GPA, there was not a sta s cally significant difference among pre‐clinical GPA across the categories of majors used in this study. This informa on could be useful for medical school admissions offices and undergraduate engineering programs.

Michelle Schwartz, Philip Robinson, Ana Maria Azzarolo, Michelle Lizo e‐Waniewski, Deborah Louda, Mahyar Nouri‐Shirazi,
Rainald Schmidt‐Kastner, and Lindsey Henson
The Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine is a new medical school that relies on problem‐based learning (PBL) throughout its basic science curriculum to foster self‐directed learning, communica on skills, and teamwork while linking basic science content to pa ent problems. Students spend 1/3 of basic science contact me in these small groups. Most schools adhere to one PBL format, but our experience suggested that purposefully changing the model across the two years could improve student engagement and development of lifelong learning skills. We therefore designed our curriculum using sequen al disclosure PBL cases in Year 1 (J Med Ed 1974:49;1040) and the case inquiry method (IQ) in Year 2 (h p://casemed.case.edu/curriculum/educa on/iq‐program.cfm).

By presen ng an ‐microbial drugs in an organ system infec ous disease context in the first and second year of the UCF College of Medicine curriculum, students learn at an early point when and how to use these drugs. Structured didac c and small group case‐based an ‐microbial instruc on is integrated with medical microbiology and immunology during the first year (M1), and scaffolded during year two (M2) to promote student‐directed selec on of an bio cs, an ‐fungals, and an ‐virals for treatment of organ‐based infec ous disease cases. Diverse M2 pedagogy include student self‐directed learning modules, small‐group cases with student directed treatments, and high fidelity simula ons requiring students to synthesize, evaluate, and apply complex clinical and basic pharmacology to treat sep c shock and pneumonia scenarios. In preliminary outcomes, students performed be er on an ‐microbial pharmacology NBME‐style mul ple choice ques ons and demonstrated effec ve clinical reasoning skills in essays a er the topic was reinforced in clinically relevant cases and simula ons.

Adrienne Laurel Gorman, David Harris, Analia Cas glioni, Abdo Asmar, and Juan Cendan
A clinically integrated pharmacology curriculum must be designed to lay a strong founda on that supports the teaching of safe and ra onal prescribing across the educa onal con nuum. At the University of Central Florida College of Medicine (COM), we have incorporated the teaching of pharmacology into first and second year high fidelity medical simula ons (HFMS) to enhance curricular integra on, both ver cally and horizontally, while minimizing didac c curricular load. In our curriculum, first year (M1) HFMS session are designed to integrate physiology, basic drug selec on, and clinical skills. During second year (M2), HFMS sessions integrate pathophysiology, clinical presenta ons, basic diagnos cs and disease management. Higher order clinical reasoning is promoted as M2 students apply clinical and basic pharmacology during simula ons integrated with the cardiopulmonary, renal, and neurological systems modules. Survey data indicate that students perceive high value to using HFMS to integrate pharmacology and assessment outcomes data show strong performance on mul ple choice pharmacology assessments in areas reinforced through HFMS.

The Family Medicine Accelerated Track (FMAT) is a 3‐year curriculum that culminates in the MD degree and links medical students to affiliated family medicine (FM) residency programs at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) campuses in Lubbock, Amarillo or the Permian Basin. The purpose of FMAT is to prepare primary care physicians more efficiently and with less cost. The FMAT program was approved by the LCME in February 2010; the first class of 8 students graduated in June 2013 and began residency training in July. The FMAT program offers students a seamless transi on between predoctoral and residency training se ngs and curricula, as they spend 2 years in Lubbock, followed by at least 4 years on the campus where they complete both the final year of medical school and 3 years of FM residency training.

This poster will describe the first stage of a three stage construc on and assessment of an ethics program which began in 2011 for medical students at the HWCOM. This first stage includes ethics integra on into all “strands” (Human Biology; Human Disease, Illness, and Injury; Clinical Medicine; Professional Development; and Medicine and Society) and across all years of study: in total, twenty‐three courses. The program been designed around three goals: (1) Commitments to Social Accountability, including professional ethics, research ethics, and popula on‐based health ethics; (2) Proficiency in Shared Decision‐Making, including clinical ethics and law, advocacy, and communica on skills; (2) Capacity to address Moral Distress, including self‐reflec on, self‐knowledge and moral courage. The program evalua on includes the degree of success in mee ng these goals as well as: whether the program is structured to develop moral literacy, which is defined as competency in three areas: (1) moral percep on/sensi vity; (2) moral reasoning; (3) moral imagina on/empathy; the College’s Educa onal Program Objec ves; and LCME accredita on standards.

Jeanne Schlesinger, Katherine Tucker, Kathleen Kreutzer, and Teresa Carter
How do you teach me‐strapped faculty about innova ve, interac ve learning strategies? We faced this challenge with a newly integrated preclinical and clinical curriculum and a new building designed for collabora ve learning. Drawing on the speed da ng process, where par cipants rotate among 5‐10 minute “dates,” we designed a workshop where faculty rotated among several demonstra ons of poten al instruc onal strategies. The “Speed Designing” workshop began with a large group overview of curriculum design. It then broke into small groups of faculty who spent 12‐15 minutes at 8 tables learning about an innova ve instruc onal strategy. The sta ons featured a faculty expert who delivered a short presenta on on an instruc onal strategy, followed by discussion and Q&A. The topics were TBL, POGIL, Case‐Based Learning, JiTT, Simula on, Standardized Pa ents, Objec ve Wri ng, and Crea ng Effec ve Learning Environments. In 3 hours, faculty received an introduc on to mul ple curricular strategies and networked with expert faculty who introduced web and other resources for further explora on. The program was well received by par cipants and presenters. “Speed Designing” is an engaging and me‐efficient process to support busy teaching faculty in learning about poten al instruc onal strategies and how to implement them in their own teaching situa ons.

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (PS45) Teaching Ac on Based Research in the Clinical Se ng
Suze e Sookdeo, Allesa English, Kathy Bradley‐Klug, Emily Shaffer‐Hudkins, Kira Zwgart
Pa ent‐centered care is being taught in many medical schools across the country. The essen al skill of physicians knowing both their pa ent’s illness state as well as their personal values helps clinicians place a primary focus on the holis c care of their pa ents. The SELECT program was developed to specifically train future physicians to learn these skills throughout medical school. The content and competencies of this innova ve program include: leadership knowledge and skills, values‐based pa ent‐centered care, and health systems. Ac on‐Based Research, in the clinical se ng, allows the researcher (student) to quan fy observed values‐based pa ent centered care and/or the health systems under which the healthcare team func ons. To demonstrate comprehension, proficiency and confidence in their understanding of these competencies, students are asked to complete an ac on based research project in a clinical se ng, following the model of Plan, Do, Study, and Act (PDSA), during their first year. (PS46) Student percep on of mentors in a medical school: Do characteris cs of the mentors ma er?
Shelley Kumar, Cayla Teal, and Elizabeth Nelson
Medical schools are exploring learning communi es and/or mentoring programs to provide guidance to students. Li le is known about the student evalua ons of their mentors and the rela onship of mentors’ characteris cs to student percep ons of mentoring quality. This exploratory study examined 3 mentor characteris cs that are commonly accessible to program evaluators ‐ gender, academic rank, and degree. (PS47) Incorpora ng Developmentally Appropriate Team Building and Small Group Learning Strategies into a Large Group
Session Early in an Integrated Basic Science Curriculum
Michael Russell and Amy Medlock
The GRU UGA Medical Partnership is a four‐year regional campus where basic science faculty work closely across disciplines and with clinical faculty toward the aim of horizontal and ver cal integra on of basic science and clinical concepts. Learning is organized around clinical cases discussed in small groups and is supplemented with large group, laboratory, and self‐paced learning ac vi es. Basic science faculty contribute mul disciplinary large group sessions with integrated learning objec ves and assessment items and co‐facilitate small group cases with a clinician. One integrated large group session presented in the first module of the first year focuses on membrane structure and func on and introduces the concepts of ion and fluid movements across membranes that contribute to whole‐body fluid balance. This session uses mul ple ac ve learning formats in which students work in teams to synthesize informa on and solve increasingly complex scenarios which emphasize whole‐body homeostasis. Prior to the session students are required to read a three‐page introduc on to physiology handout and a short book chapter which provides the more detailed physiology and biochemistry informa on necessary to answer in‐class problems. The unique feature of this ac ve learning environment is the conscious a empt to facilitate and emphasize the benefits of team learning in a large group se ng early in the curriculum.

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (PS49) The Benefits of Student‐Composed Survival Guides in Medical Educa on
Sean Hernandez and Carla Lupi
Of the several resources available for medical students on adap ng to lifestyle changes and a new educa onal program, the highly valued advice from upper class students comes through mechanisms such as social networking sites, internet storage sites for class notes, survival guides, and informal mentoring and communica on. Students in new medical schools with fewer numbers of gradua ng classes and an o en rapidly evolving curriculum are faced with addi onal demands in crea ng and upda ng useful tools. Students at Florida Interna onal University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, now in its fi h year, have developed several mechanisms for communica ng between classes and have also par cipated in formal learning communi es that foster such communica on. However, the first wri en survival guide ‐ a 100 page electronic document was authored in the summer by the class of 2016 (M1s) for the entering class of 2017(M2s). M1 students volunteered and Conducted surveys of their classmates on topics of importance, and general advice that would have been useful but was not available during their first year. Groups of writers were recruited for each of the six chapters and they submi ed their work to a central editor who assembled the guide. During orienta on week, this document was distributed through an online storage website along with the 4 years of notes from the previous medical classes, and was also posted to the class Facebook site. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceived usefulness of the first version of this survival guide. (PS50) Predic ng Early Success in a Clinical‐Presenta on Based Curriculum Model
Tammy Salazar, Janet Piskurich, and Naomi Lacy
The rapidly changing field of medicine requires both study skills and life‐long learning skills for success in medical school and beyond. Theore cally, we an cipate that early interven ons designed to improve these important skills in medical school will foster life‐long learning while decreasing students’ risk for failure. However, there is as yet no reliable way to iden fy which students would benefit the most from these interven ons. A recent study (Med. Educ., 2011; 45:696‐703) by West and Sadoski showed that several scales on the Learning and Study Strategy Inventory (LASSI) were predic ve of early academic success in medical students. This study a empts to broaden our knowledge of predictors in an integrated curriculum. (PS51) A Ventricular System Team Based Learning (TBL) Module for Second Year Medical Students
Anthony Oliva and Diana Barra
We have converted second‐year medical neuroscience lectures into Team‐Based Learning (TBL) ac ve earning sessions. We present here a module that was designed to reinforce the basic science and clinical understanding of the ventricular system through case‐based problems, and results from its implementa on. Specifically, the module was created to clarify the ventricular system; cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) produc on and flow; the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) and blood‐CSF barrier (BCB); and hernia on syndromes, hydrocephalus, and other clinically‐relevant disorders. To maximize the effec veness of this module, we have created a detailed reading guide and quiz‐bank for the students to independently study from prior to a ending the session. The module appears highly effec ve, assessed in part on student exam performance. We have also run this module on residents, where it was highly received. The goals of this module are aligned with the AAN Integrated Neural Science Core Curriculum, and this study was conducted with approval from the FIU ins tu onal review board (# IRB‐13‐0064).

(PS60) General Internal Medicine Statewide Preceptorship Program: An Overview of 20 Years
Karen Szauter, Eugene Stokes, and Claire Foster
Outpa ent clinical experiences in the community provide students with a different perspec ve on medical prac ce and careers than university‐based experiences. In the early 1990s, the General Internal Medicine Statewide Preceptorship Program was created to provide pre‐clinical medical students with an opportunity to work with community‐based physicians. The focus of the GIMSPP is to provide early exposure to internal medicine (IM) with a goal of increasing interest and subsequent career selec on in IM. We describe the program and outcome measures. (PS61) If Given More Time with your Pa ent, What Would You Do?
Karen Szauter and Lori Kusnerik
Assessment of medical students by standardized pa ent (SP)‐based examina ons provides an opportunity for a purposeful review of clinical skills. Examina ons are resource intensive, resul ng in limita ons such as strict me restric ons for the pa ent encounter. When provided with an opportunity to return to the pa ent’s room, students frequently “revisit” with the pa ent to perform addi onal por ons of the interview or physical examina on. For this project, we studied students’ descrip ons of informa on they would obtain if given an opportunity for more me with the pa ent. (PS62) Se ng the Stage for Innova on: Providing Online Pre‐Orienta on Modules to Introduce Novel Learning Modali es
Courtney Baker, Monica Bhu ani, and Kimberly Lomis
Many medical schools are incorpora ng novel learning formats that emphasize teamwork and self‐directed learning. Pilot programs of ac ve‐learning modali es in our ins tu on demonstrated that novel learning formats can be unse ling for first year students. This highlighted the need for explicit preliminary instruc on in the ra onale behind specific methodologies. To that end, an op onal, online pre‐orienta on course was created and offered to students prior to matricula on in AY 2013‐2014. We report on the efficacy of this course in introducing students to innova ve learning modali es. (PS63) The Educator Development Program: A Mul faceted Program Tailored to Needs of Educators
Leora Horn, Mary Ann Nichols, and Charlene Dewey The Educator Development Program (EDP) is a faculty development ini a ve at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) targeted to enhance the medical educa on knowledge, a tudes and skills, and educa on research and scholarship for all VUMC faculty members (physicians, nurses, scien sts), learners (students, residents and fellows) and others who teach in the medical center. The EDP consists of monthly two hour in‐person workshops, self‐directed on‐line learning modules, a residents as teachers and leaders program (RATL™), peer teaching consulta ons and individual educa onal consulta ons. Here we present data on the first two years of the EDP program. Page 69 of 81

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (PS64) Teaching Basic Science to Medical Students in a Dynamic Scien fic Environment: Educator Percep ons and Prac ces
Michele Monteil, Barbara Schuster, Jane e Hill, and Ralph Gillies
Basic Science Educators currently exist in a difficult place in medical educa on. On the one hand, the me allo ed to basic science educa on, in medical curricula, has been steadily decreasing. On the other side, there has been an exponen al increase in our understanding of gene c, molecular and cellular mechanisms in health and disease with a concomitant explosion in biomedical literature (Boissier, 2013), which includes informa on, which would be of value to medical students in their training. Further, there is the concern that basic science educa on in medical curricula is not keeping pace with changes in biomedical sciences and could lead to future doctors having insufficient scien fic competencies to deal with unexpected challenges in their future prac ce (Pawlina, 2009). These factors have implica ons for the training of medical students. However, what is not clear is how BSE perceive these changes, and how these changes may be impac ng their prac ces as educators. The purpose of this research project is to obtain preliminary data on how BSE perceive the pace of change in their respec ve disciplines and how this is reflected in their teaching of Year 1 and 2 medical students. (PS65) Using a Mobile Web Applica on to Improve Feedback a er Observed Medical Student Clinical Encounters
Anupam Kumar, Jay Johnson, Yamel Hall, Tepparit Wiphatphumiprates, Amy Fleming, and Toufeeq Ahmed
Effec ve feedback is instrumental in helping medical students to improve their interview, physical exam, and presenta on skills in the clinical se ng. The process of collec ng feedback largely occurs without medical student par cipa on and provides mentoring physicians with scant data with which to guide student improvement. Such feedback is typically limited to evalua ons collected at the midpoint and conclusion of clinical clerkships. When informal, verbal feedback is provided in real me, the observer may feel uncomfortable providing a cri cal performance assessment in the presence of the student. Addi onally, many students feel uncomfortable when asking an a ending or resident for direct feedback on their performance. We are currently pilot‐tes ng VSTAR Compass (h p://vstarcompass.com), a mobile web applica on that seeks to remove some of these barriers to providing effec ve feedback. A er being observed, students can open the applica on on any mobile device or computer and select the faculty member or resident who observed them. This will trigger the app to send an email to the faculty member, who will be able to provide quick feedback by following the link embedded in the email. This feedback will be immediately viewable by the student (through both the app itself and the student's e‐por olio). A mentoring faculty member, such as a clerkship director, is able to view all feedback provided to the student in order to provide meaningful guidance for improvement.

Unprofessional Behavior
Cayla Teal and Stephen Greenberg
The increasing focus on medical student professional behavior has lead educators to consider why students may behave unprofessionally. Some researchers have suggested that that unprofessional behavior (or professionalism breaches) is related to a student’s developing iden ty as a physician, as well as how that professional iden ty is integrated with the student’s personal iden ty. This study explored student self‐reported professionalism breaches and their rela onship to students beliefs about personal and professional iden ty. (PS69) Evalua ng a Peer Mentoring Network at FIU HWCOM, a New Medical School
Alexandra Kovar, Cynthia Lopez, and Chris ne McFarlin
Medical school is a stressful me that can lead to burnout (1). The high work demands, loss of me to pursue leisure ac vi es, tensions in personal rela onships, and confronta on of death contribute to burnout, depression, substance abuse, suicide, and professional misconduct (2). Mentoring programs and iden fying peer role models have been shown to improve mental well‐being and combat these adverse consequences in health profession students (2). In a new medical school, there are fewer peers and a less established culture to provide support and guidance to new students. Peer mentoring programs have been studied in nursing (3) and dental students (4) but research on peer mentoring in medical students is lacking. FIU HWCOM welcomed its first class in 2009. Students are encouraged to implement innova ve programs to further educa on and play an integral role in establishing a unique culture at this new ins tu on. The Peer Resource Network (PRN) was implemented in August 2013 because students saw a need for more interac on between classes within the medical school. Student interac on has been par cularly challenging at FIU HWCOM due to layout of our campus and the loca on of our clerkships being off campus, throughout the greater Miami area. (PS70) Ideology and Communica on in a Cross‐Cultural E‐Learning Forum. Cri cal Discourse Analysis
Zareen Zaidi, Danielle Verstegen, Rahat Naqvi, Timothy Doran, and Page Morahan
Construc vist theories state that learning is embedded in social rela ons and social ac on is mediated by language. Discourse Analysis studies how language constructs the social world and can impact learning. The rise in mul cultural e‐learning programs has implica ons on discourse and need for faculty training in facilita on. To study the impact of par cipants’ ideological backgrounds (geopoli cal, cultural, etc.) in e‐learning we explored e‐discourses which were part of an interna onal health professions educa on fellowship program conducted by FAIMER training faculty to act as research scholars and change agents, while developing a global Community of Prac ce.

Making the Pieces Fit: Across the Con nuum of Medical Educa on (PS73) What Factors Influence a 4th Year Medical Student’s Rank Order List?
Kevin Cronin, Pete Peterson, and Frazier Stevenson
Each year, fourth year medical students from across the country and abroad vie for the more than 26,000 first‐year residency program posi ons at U.S teaching hospitals. To be considered for one of these slots, students must construct a Rank Order List (ROL) – a list of each residency program where the student interviewed and is willing to a end, ranked from most to least desirable. Though this is one of the most stressful aspects of a student’s journey, li le to no recent data exist on how medical students priori ze their ROL. In comparison, the Matricula ng Student Ques onnaire (MSQ) taken by most medical students during the first few weeks of the first year provides much data as to how students chose a given medical school. We hypothesized that students’ most important priori es for their ROL would be their interac ons on their interview day with current residents and faculty members as well as loca on and perceived pres ge of a program. (PS74) Preserva on of Knowledge Reten on Using Resource‐Efficient, Cost Effec ve Virtual Classrooms in an Electronic TBL
Rajunor E arh, Dave Jerre , Chayan Chakrabor , and Kevin Krane In direct contrast to tradi onal didac c educa on that is commonly discipline‐based and teacher‐centered, team based learning (TBL) is a mode of instruc on involving small groups of students that is characteris cally learner‐centered, instructor‐led, with very structured processes for individual and group accountability. One advantage of TBL is the principle of learning by interac ve associa on – between students, facilitators and teams. However, in common with other new educa onal interven ons, TBL is resource intensive and involves significant investment in terms of faculty, materials and me to sa sfy requirements for logis cal and infrastructural support: class size, venues, sta onery, prepara on of assessments and exercises, and class facilita on by faculty. Consequently, there is a need for exploring ways to manage and op mize resources for team‐based approaches to teaching and learning without compromising the educa onal benefits of TBL. This leads to the ques on: can the requirements for the significant ancillary support that go towards a TBL be modulated by adjustments that preserve the educa onal elements and goals inherent in a tradi onal TBL?

Ana Maria Azzarolo, Michelle Lizo e‐Waniewski, Deborah Louda, Viaya Iragavarapu, Mahyar Nouri‐Shirazi, Yoshmi Shibata,
Lindsey Henson, Barry Linger, Julie Servoss, Stuart Markowitz
As medical schools con nue the trend of accep ng students with varied science backgrounds, new challenges have arisen in teaching basic science material in the first year. The number of students matricula ng without undergraduate majors in tradi onal scien fic fields is growing. One strategy to address this is to establish prerequisites for acceptance; e.g., to accept students with any major but require that all students complete courses such as basic biochemistry. Another approach to ensuring a basic level of understanding is to iden fy students who may benefit from pre‐ and post‐matricula on assistance by the school.
