OET's Jesse Friedman wins Best of SF 2010 Award

For a food blog, getting the balance of text and visuals right is critical. Writers are not necessarily photographers are not necessarily information gatherers. Which is why writers for SF Weekly's food blog, SFoodie, find ourselves linking over and over again to Jesse Friedman's posts on Beer & Nosh.

AAMC Announces Continuum of Learning Initiative

At the Group on Educational Affairs (GEA) regional meetings this spring, AAMC announced a new initiative called the Continuum of Learning Initiative (CLI), which incorporates several projects we have been talking about for some time and adds some new opportunities. Building on the success and structure of MedEdPORTAL, the CLI will include MedEdPORTAL, an Innovations Portal, a Curriculum Inventory Portal, and a Performance Improvement Portal. You will be able to enter the CLI from any of the Portals, and searches conducted within any Portal will return ‘related links’ for similar content in the other Portals. We are really excited about the opportunities the CLI will provide for medical educators, as well as prospective and current medical students, residents, and physicians in practice – everyone along the Continuum of Medical Education.

As part of this initiative, CurrMIT (AAMC’s national curriculum database) will be strategically abandoned when the new Curriculum Inventory is ready (scheduled for 2014). In the meantime, the AAMC is committed to continue to support CurrMIT and CurrMIT users. The UCSF Ilios Curriculum Management, which integrates with CurrMIT, will also integrate with the new Continuum of Learning Portal to share UCSF's innovative curriculum with the medical education community.

For more information and periodic updates about CLI please visit www.aamc.org/mededportal/cli
If you have questions or comments, please send them to me at tcameron@aamc.org.

Visting Scholar from the Netherlands Inspires Discussions on Competency Assessment, Feedback and Peer-Assisted Learning

The Office of Medical Education welcomed Dutch medical education expert Theodorus Jan ten Cate, PhD from the Centre for Research and Development of Education at University Medical Centre Utrecht to UCSF for a series of events in May. Dr. ten Cate, who has published on many topics in the medical education, is especially known for his work on peer teaching, competencies assessment, and feedback.

Dr. ten Cate, who goes by the name Olle, gave three formal presentations while he was here: 1) "Designing a test to assess the skill to cope with unfamiliar clinical situations" for the Educational Scholarship Conference (ESCape), 2) a one-hour education grand rounds on "Should a Teaching Rotation be Required for Learners?" and 3) a three-hour workshop, attended by over 30 faculty members, entitled "Using Entrustable Professional Activities to Link Clinical Assessment and Teaching to a Competency Framework."

About 15 faculty members attended a reception in his honor on Tuesday, May 25. He also discussed peer teaching, feedback, and assessment of competencies with course and clerkship directors, Pathways directors, education researchers, and other faculty in two full days of meetings. He was particularly interested in learning about the One-Minute Preceptor, our faculty development program, our portfolio implementation, and in meeting Dr. Papadakis, who will be traveling to the Netherlands later this year to attend one of their conferences.

While in California, Dr. ten Cate and his wife Ineke also visited their son and daughter-in-law who live in Mountain View, and visited medical education colleagues at Stanford University. We plan to welcome him back to UCSF in October to pursue education research collaborations with faculty here. See his biosketch.

2008-2009 Highlights of the Office of Outreach and Academic Advancement

The Office of Outreach and Academic Advancement directs the outreach efforts of the School, targeting undergraduate and postgraduate individuals who have an interest in pursuing careers in medicine. Outreach programs include the Post Baccalaureate Program, the Admissions Workshop, Accepted Students' Weekend and the Underrepresented in Medicine Mentoring Program; as well as informational sessions at local community colleges and pre-health group campus visits. The office also works with the UCSF Fresno Medical Education Program in its outreach programming efforts. Dr. Alma Martinez serves as Faculty Director of the program and Valerie Margol as the Administrative Director.

Fifteen participants completed the Post Baccalaureate Program in 2008-09 in preparation for application to medical school. Thirteen former graduates of the program matriculated into medical school in fall 2009. This brings the overall program total of acceptances to 95% since 2000; a total of 149 participants have completed the program since its inception. Of those accepted, 62% are in California medical schools; 54.24% are in UC medical schools; 19.5% are at UCSF. Of the former program participants, 57 have graduated from medical school. A total of 31 are engaged in primary care residencies: family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Three students are doing residencies in emergency medicine, and 19 students are engaged in specialty residencies including: anesthesia, psychiatry, surgery, and urology. No information is available for four program participants who are recent medical school graduates. Eight former program participants who did not apply to medical school enrolled in other graduate level health professions programs, including dental school, MPH, and physician assistant/nurse practitioner programs.

The Admissions workshop for prospective applicants was held in March 2009 and was attended by 266 individuals. Representatives from the Office of Outreach and Academic Advancement visited five local community colleges in the fall, reaching more than 100 individuals, and spoke to five pre-health groups on the UCSF campus.

Through the Underrepresented in Medicine Mentoring Program, the office supported mentoring for medical students, residents, and faculty members by hosting six workshops on topics including: Mentoring Relationships: Stories from the Front Lines; Mentor/Mentee Relationships: What I Wish I Had Known, the Resident/Faculty Perspective; Win-Win: Community Service Projects and Mentoring; Sex and the City: Relationships and Medicine; Your Money and Your Life: Impact of Finances on Physician Careers; Race and Ethnicity: The Experiences of Minority Physicians.

Medical Education, Baby, and Me

My son was born at the UCSF Children's Hospital in early January, three weeks before his expected due date, and just one day shy of being considered full-term. Being in a high-risk pregnancy category, I knew that I wanted to have the most experienced members of the medical team at the delivery.

I anticipated that I would probably know several of the interns and students that would be rounding while I was a patient, since I teach many literature searching workshops for the UCSF School of Medicine. My conundrum was whether or not I would feel comfortable having medical students and interns I knew professionally taking care of me in a very private and personal realm. It was tough to decide to want to keep my professional and personal life separate.

When I was admitted, I made a request to the senior attending to have only the attending or R3 (third-year resident) be the one to deliver my baby. In the end, I am very fortunate that the entire labor and delivery teams that oversaw my 32 hours of labor provided incredible expertise and support.

May 13 - Bike to Work Day

Its that time again!

Bike to Work Day is this Thursday, May 13th!

Its time to pull out that dusty 10 speed and get some fresh air on your morning commute. The San Francisco Bicycle Coalition (www.sfbike.org) is hosting a variety of events this week to encourage people to get out and ride.

On Thursday, there will be a variety of Energizer stations throughout the city supplying riders with lite breakfast and a bag full of goodies- http://www.sfbike.org/?btwd2010.

If anyone needs help adjusting their bikes, Diego Sotelo (sotelod@medsch.ucsf.edu) will be bringing bike tools to Parnassus campus that day and would be glad to give tuneups after work. Cycling is an easy way to get some exercise while commuting and is often faster than driving or MUNI.

Remember to wear your helmets and have fun!

May 13 - UCSF Annual Earth Fest

11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
MU Gym

It's been 40 years since the first Earth Day was organized, marked with protests and teach-ins to draw attention to our deteriorating environment. In the past four decades, we've come a long way. Our green initiatives are helping us save millions of dollars a year through recycling, composting and reducing energy use. We protect our health and reduce air pollution when we incorporate fresh, local foods in the meals we serve and adopt programs to encourage carpooling and biking to work.

In the past year, the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability (CACS), has been developing a comprehensive sustainability strategy to ensure that the campus and medical center do their part.

To promote sustainability awareness and celebrate our achievements, UCSF's annual Earth Fest will be held on Thursday, May 13, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Millberry Union Gym, 500 Parnassus Ave. This is an opportunity to learn more about sustainability and the choices you can make everyday at work and at home.

Visit more than 60 information tables to learn about organic food, how to keep your home free of toxins and options for transportation. We'll have organic food tastings and raffle prizes and UCSF will showcase its progress in becoming an environmentally sustainable campus and medical center. As co-chairs of CACS, we hope you'll join us to celebrate these achievements.

iPad Review by OET's Jesse Friedman

The iPad is an exceptionally well designed device, which puts an emphasis on portability and consuming content. Since many of the School of Medicine’s online resources are largely based on standard HTML, it can display and present our resources easily and clearly via the built in Mobile Safari browser (with the notable exception of Flash content.) However, it struggles with our UCSF’s online learning systems when it comes to content creation.

Read the rest of Jesse's iPad Review under Innovations and Special Reports on the Medical Education Portal.

2008-2009 Highlights of the Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills Education

The Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills Education officially opened on April 1, 2008, in a suite at Mount Zion Hospital. The Center, funded through the generous support of Maurice Kanbar, supports the School of Medicine's educational mission of teaching, learning, assessment and research through realistic simulations and interprofessional team training for routine and complex situations, thereby improving patient care and safety. Dr. Manuel Pardo serves as Faculty Director of the center, and Michael Quirk as the Administrative Director.

The Kanbar Leadership team is engaged in the planning process for renovating the second floor of the Kalmanovitz Library at Parnassus, which will include classroom space as well as a new clinical skills and simulation center. This process has involved educational leaders in the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Pharmacy, as well as the library. The proposed Teaching and Learning Center is scheduled to open in spring of 2011.

The current facility at Mt. Zion represents the first of a two-phase development project at UCSF and supports activities for the School’s students, residents, and interprofessional programs. Phase II of the project will involve migration of programs into a campus-wide center at Parnassus, which will include mannequin, task and virtual simulation, clinical skills and telemedicine training. This year the center formed a cross-school committee that is charged with developing a program plan for use of the Kanbar Center for Simulation and Clinical Skills Education that serves individual school curricula and interprofessional education goals.

Since the opening of the center, the Kanbar team has focused on undergraduate and graduate medical education, with opportunities for interprofessional exercises. Medical students encounter the full-body human simulator early in their education, and have additional training scheduled to reinforce and augment that exposure throughout their course of study. With the use of standardized patients, students can practice hands-on skills in a safe and realistic ambulatory setting. The Standardized Patient Program is dedicated to promoting better health outcomes by improving the quality of health education training through the use of standardized patients, a dynamic educational resource.
