  1. Larry Tan, MD Director, Surgery Undergraduate Deparment of Surgery University of Manitoba March 2010 The Medical School Accreditation ProcessandThe Surgery Resident's Rolein Teaching Medical Students

  2. Objectives • Medical school accreditation process • Description of Education Directive 24 • How ED-24 applies to residents who act as teachers • How ED-24 is implemented in the Department of Surgery. • Resident's role in teaching medical students in the clerkship rotation and in formal teaching sessions • Feedback on resident teaching from the medical students • Note – blue text are hyperlinks ED-24

  3. Medical School Accreditation

  4. Medical School Accreditation • Liaison Committee on Medical Education is the accrediting body for all North American medical schools • LCME determines whether medical schools meet established standards for structure, resources and education delivery. • Educational Objectives are outlined in ED-01 to ED-47 • ED-24 is an objective found to be poorly implemented in accreditation of other North American medical schools ED-24

  5. LCME Accreditation Actions • Possible outcomes of accreditation are: • Grant accreditation status (full, preliminary or provisional) or deny accredition – for new schools • Continue accreditation status, with or without specifying terms • Continue accreditation, with warning of probation • Continue accreditation, with probation • Withdraw accreditation ED-24

  6. University of Manitoba Accreditation Schedule • Previous accreditation – 2004 – full approval, with areas of partial non-compliance, including ED-24 • Upcoming accreditation • LCME secretariat visit – March 1-2, 2010 • Mock accreditation (voluntary) – November 2010 • Database submission to LCME – January 2011 • LCME accreditation visit – April 2011 • Accreditation report – June 2011 ED-24

  7. Accreditation Probation • Probation for • One or more areas of noncompliance that must be corrected in 12-24 months • Previously identified areas of noncompliance that have not been corrected • Medical schools placed on probation must inform the public within 24 hours, e.g. Dalhousie University 2009 • Failure of probation can lead to withdrawal of accreditation • University of Manitoba was in partial non-compliance with ED-24 in 2004. ED-24

  8. What Is ED-24? • An Educational Directive that governs oversight of teaching interactions between residents and medical students. • Residents must know the objectives for the medical students they are teaching. • Residents must be given training in how to teach. In cases where performance is weak, residents must be given remedial training. • Students should provide feedback on residents who teach them. • Residents should receive feedback on their teaching performance from faculty and students ED-24

  9. ED-24 • Minimal expectation #1 • Residents and other instructors who do not hold faculty ranks (such as graduate students and postdoctoral fellows) should receive a written copy of the course/clerkship objectives and clear guidance from the course/clerkship director about their roles in teaching and evaluating medical students. • From www.lcme.org ED-24

  10. ED-24 • Minimal Expectation #2 • The institution and/or relevant departments provide resources such as workshops/written materials to enhance the teaching and evaluation skills of residents and other non-faculty instructors. • From www.lcme.org ED-24

  11. ED-24 • Other Expectations • There should be central monitoring of the level of resident/other instructor participation in activities to enhance their teaching/evaluation skills. • The LCME encourages formal assessment of the teaching and evaluation skills of residents and other non-faculty instructors, with opportunities provided for remediation if their performance is inadequate. • From www.lcme.org ED-24

  12. Implementation of ED-24 • ED-24 implementation is a shared responsibility of: • Faculty Undergraduate Medical Education office • Faculty Postgraduate Medical Education office • Department of Surgery Undergraduate program • The surgical residency and fellowship programs • The surgery residents and fellows ED-24

  13. ED-24 - Implementation • In the Department of Surgery, ED-24 must be implemented across: • 24 clerkship rotations at seven sites • six Royal College primary residency programs • two Royal College fellowship programs and • ~ 10 other fellowship programs. ED-24

  14. The Surgery Resident's Role in Teaching Medical Students

  15. CanMEDS Scholar Role • Physicians...facilitate the learning of ...students... • Describe principles of learning relevant to medical education • Collaboratively identify the learning needs and desired learning outcomes of others • Select effective teaching strategies and content to facilitate others' training • Demonstrate an effective lecture or presentation • Assess and reflect on a teaching encounter • Provide effective feedback • Describe the principles of ethics with respect to teaching From http://rcpsc.medical.org ED-24

  16. Three Types of Teaching Responsibilities • Service- or rotation-based teaching • Ex. supervising a clerk rotating on your service • Formal teaching sessions assigned by service or residency program • Ex. presenting at service rounds or grand rounds to an audience that includes medical students • Formal teaching sessions assigned by Department of Surgery Education Office • Ex. teaching knot-tying or the breast examination to medical students

  17. Service- or Rotation-Based Teaching • Patient-centered, ward-based, often informal • Daily opportunity for teaching • Clerkship objectives are available for each rotation – residents must read these objectives • Residents must know their own objectives in the CanMEDS scholar domain ED-24

  18. Written Copy of the Course/Clerkship Objectives • Latest versions of the clerkship rotation descriptions are found on the undergraduate webpage for the Department of Surgery • Residents must read the clerkship objectives and rotation information for the general surgery and selective rotations in which they supervise medical students • Feedback and corrections are welcome – please email surgundergrad@hsc.mb.ca ED-24

  19. Teaching Assigned by Service or Residency Program • Formal, scheduled sessions • Occur weekly or monthly • Residents should provide objectives for academic presentations e.g. objective page on a powerpoint presentation • Objectives can be developed in conjunction with the residents' preceptors • Please keep the students' educational goals in mind. ED-24

  20. Teaching Assigned by Department of Surgery Education Office • At present, very few teaching sessions assigned to residents, pending development of comprehensive objectives and teaching scripts for each session • In the future, the objectives and the teaching material for all teaching sessions will be available through OPAL, allowing more resident participation ED-24

  21. Evaluation of Medical Students • MITERs are discussed at mid-point of rotation – formative feedback • FITERs are completed by the attending staff at the end of the rotation – summative feedback • Residents provide feedback on student performance • FITERs are divided into cognitive domains similar to CanMeds • Resident feedback is incorporated into the FITER • Copy of Surgery Clerkship FITER and MITER available on Department of Surgery Undergraduate Education webpage ED-24

  22. Educational Resources • New resident orientation • TIPS program • Surgery Foundations Seminar Series • One-minute preceptor • Giving effective feedback • Faculty development workshops • Public-speaking workshop for PGY3s • OPAL (Online Portal for Advanced Learning) training and workshops ED-24

  23. Feedback on Resident Teaching Performance • Comprehensive online mechanism under development by Faculty of Medicine, implemented via OPAL • Most residency and fellowship programs have a mechanism for providing feedback on resident teaching performance (e.g. paper-based forms, T-Res, WebEval, One45). • The students on service should also provide feedback. • Feedback should be collected and reported every 6-12 months to allow anonymity for the student responders. ED-24

  24. Summary • Implementation of ED-24 will require cooperation and coordination among the students, residents, program directors, teaching staff, the Department of Surgery and the Faculty of Medicine • Please review the clerkship objectives and evaluation forms for your rotation, available through the surgery clerskhip webpage www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/medicine/units/surgery/education/undergrad/rotation/index.html • Feedback and comments - surgundergrad@hsc.mb.ca ED-24
