Overview:

Recent advances in the cognitive science of learning have important implications for strategies that all learners can use. For example, cognitive research has identified one strategy that promotes complex learning called retrieval practice: Practicing actively reconstructing one’s knowledge while studying has potent effects on long-term learning. Yet when people monitor and regulate their own learning, they often choose to engage in inferior strategies like repetitive reading, and the ultimate consequence is poor learning. This talk provides an overview of our research program on retrieval-based learning. In recent work, we have extended retrieval practice to meaningful learning of complex educational materials, converted existing classroom activities into retrieval-based activities, and developed new computer-based learning methods for implementing retrieval-based learning. Incorporating retrieval practice into educational activities is a powerful way to enhance learning.

Objectives:

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
1. Explain why retrieval is critical for learning
2. Describe people’s metacognitive awareness of learning strategies like retrieval practice
3. Describe two ways that anyone can practice retrieval to bolster their learning

Team-Based Learning™ Basics: Getting Started

May 31, 2012, Thursday
12:15-3:15 p.m.
Location: 101 White Hall (Gandhi Auditorium)

Presenter

Dean Parmelee, M.D.
Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Boonshoft School of Medicine

What is Team-Based Learning™?

Team-Based Learning™ (TBL) is an active learning instructional strategy that provides students with opportunities to apply conceptual knowledge through a sequence of events that includes individual work, teamwork and immediate feedback. It is very much learner-centered and engages students with the kinds of problems they will encounter in clinical practice.  It also promotes the development of professional competencies in interpersonal skills, teamwork, and peer feedback.

Workshop Description

This workshop is conducted in a Team-Based Learning™ (TBL) format: participants are given an advance assignment, are assigned to a team, given an individual and team readiness assurance test, achieve consensus with their team on a set of increasingly challenging questions. There is very little ‘lecture’ (learning occurs through doing) and ample opportunity for questions and dialogue. Video clips of ‘live’ students in TBL sessions are shown.

Workshop Objectives

• Describe the key and essential components of a TBL module.
• Identify the challenges that an instructor faces when transforming a unit of study from lecture to ‘active learning.’
• Explain how TBL, when done correctly, generates deeper learning of content, develops communication skills, and can meet course objectives more fully than a lecture-based pedagogy.

Preparation/Advance Assignment

• Explore teambasedlearning.org
• Read "The Essential Elements of Team-Based Learning™", by Larry Michaelsen and Michael Sweet, in New Directions for Teaching and Learning, no. 116, Winter 2008.

High-Fidelity Simulation in Medical Education: Technology Driven by Learning Objectives

August 9, 2012, Thursday
12:15-2:15 p.m.
Location: 101 White Hall (Gandhi Auditorium)

Presenter

Raymond Ten Eyck, M.D., M.P.H.
Professor, Emergency Medicine, Director of Emergency Medicine Simulation Center, Boonshoft School of Medicine

What is High-Fidelity Simulation?

Coach Vince Lombardi coined the phrase: "Practice doesn't make perfect; perfect practice makes perfect." High-Fidelity simulation is an interactive instructional strategy which helps approach the "perfect practice" environment by using real equipment and supplies along with realistic task trainer models and computerized, full-body mannequins controlled by an operator on a remote computer. High-fidelity mannequins incorporate monitor displays and air compressor-driven functions capable of producing both physical findings (e.g. pulses, heart sounds, and breath sounds) and pathophysiologic processes (e.g. hypoxia, hypotension, tongue edema and trimus). These mannequins can be painlessly subjected to invasive procedures and programmed to provide realistic patient responses. High-fidelity simulation safely creates an immersive environment by incorporating all or part of a clinical experience without exposing real patients to the associated risks.

Workshop Description

This workshop will consist of two parts. The first part is a presentation including a construct for incorporating simulation into medical education programs and discussion of sample experiences from the literature and at the BSOM. It will conclude with a short demonstration.  During the second portion of the workshop, the presenter will discuss the impact of simulation as assessed both in our institution and elsewhere along with potential opportunities to incorporate simulation into our curriculum. This portion will conclude with a brief demonstration involving development of a simulation using input from the attendees.

Workshop Objectives

• Define the appropriate role of technology in developing simulation-based education modules.
• Discuss the potential benefits of simulation as a medical education strategy.
• Recognize the resources associated with adding simulation-based modules or substituting them for other educational modules.
• Analyze current curricular learning objectives to determine those that might be better accomplished with simulation.
• Design a simulation-based module to support an existing curriculum.

Preparation/Advance Assignment

Please submit a topic or module from one of your courses which you consider to be a potential candidate for a simulation-based session.

The Western Reserve2 Curriculum and the Use of the “New” PBL to Develop Self-directed Learning, Problem Solving and Teamwork Skills

September 13, 2012, Thursday
12:15-3:15 p.m.
Location: 101 White Hall (Gandhi Auditorium)

Presenter

Amy Wilson-Delfosse, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, Pharmacology, Assistant Dean for Basic Science Education, Case Western Reserve University SOM

What is the "New" PBL - Case InQuiry (IQ)?

The small group, active learning method called "Problem-based Learning" (PBL) was developed by McMaster University in the late 1960s and is used internationally as a popular educational approach.  In the mid 2000s, McMaster re-tooled this important learning strategy and shared the method with Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine during the development of the Western Reserve2 Curriculum.  This “new” PBL has been embraced by the students of CWRU as their most valued learning method and is commonly referred to by the students as "IQ", short for Case Inquiry. Students learn not just medical knowledge in their IQ teams of 8 students but also important skills of life-long learning, teamwork and professionalism.

Part 1: Description

Participants will be introduced to the medical education curriculum at Case Western Reserve University (Western Reserve2 Curriculum) by means of a formal presentation.

Part 1: Objectives

• List two reasons why the faculty of CWRU committed to curriculum reform.
• Describe two guiding principles that informed curricular change at CWRU.
• Compare and contrast the current medical education/curriculum climate at Boonshoft SOM with the climate that existed at CWRU SOM prior to curriculum reform.
• Relate two challenges that the faculty of CWRU faced in reforming their curriculum and consider if these same challenges will be seen at Boonshoft SOM.
• State, in general terms, the assessment philosophy of the Western Reserve2 curriculum and describe the importance of alignment of this philosophy with expectations for student learning.

Resources

Watch a Video of the Presentation

Part 2: Description

Participants will learn about the CWRU approach to PBL (aka Case InQuiry or "IQ") through their participation in a hands-on workshop during which they will have an opportunity to view and work through an actual case.

Part 2: Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• Define "IQ" and explain how it differs from "traditional" PBL.
• List the advantages of the IQ small group learning approach.
• Distinguish the role of the faculty facilitator and the role of the learners in IQ.
• List and define key teamwork behaviors in the IQ process.

Would you like to learn how Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships are transforming medical education worldwide? How will this change our clinical teaching and patient care?

Harvard’s Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship: An Innovative Model of Clinical Education

Wednesday, March 16, 2011
12:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Location
101 White Hall (Gandhi Auditorium)

Description

Most medical schools value and seek opportunities for students to learn through experiences in the longitudinal care of patients. A number of innovative programs have made longitudinal care the central experiential component of clinical education, including Harvard Medical School.  In this session, Dr. David Hirsh, the cofounder and Director of the Harvard Medical School –Cambridge Integrated Clerkship (CIC) will share his experience and present the data, literature, and global reach of this transformation. 

The CIC is a complete redesign of the principal clinical year to foster students’ learning from close and continuous contact with cohorts of patients in the core clinical disciplines.  With year-long mentoring by clinical faculty, students follow their patients through all major venues of care. Didactics are case-based tutorials about core topics, deliberately connecting to the students’ actual patients, and actively integrating basic, clinical, and social sciences. Longitudinal integrated medical education is designed to progress developmentally and to centralize building the professional role. In addition to strict attention to building clinical skills, the structure focuses on reflective practice, humanism, peer-peer and interprofessional learning and assessment, communication skills, ethics, uncertainty, population sciences, cultural competence, and leadership.

Objectives

Participants will be able to learn about Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs):

1. Explain the goals, underlying principles, and the connection to the learning sciences
2. Describe the structure and implementation steps
3. Discuss evaluation methods and results
4. Depict the national and international scope of LICs

Would you like to learn effective methods to incorporate Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) into your teaching?

Evidence-Based Medicine: Current Trends and Effective Teaching Methods

Wednesday, October 6, 2010
12:15 p.m. - 3:15 p.m.
White Hall

Description

Medical educators have increasingly embraced Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) since its introduction as a systematic approach to clinical decision making, medical practice and education in the early 1990s. Despite the availability of authoritative texts, teaching the basic EBM skills of formulating questions, finding the relevant literature efficiently, appraising that literature and applying it to patient care remains challenging. Teachers are regularly in a position to communicate the principles of these processes to learners in a variety of settings, including ward rounds, at the bedside, during journal club exercises, and in formal lectures and seminars. This session will offer some advice to help make the most of these teaching opportunities.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

1. Explain background EBM methodology particularly pertaining to student expectations in the clinical rotations, facilitating greater correlation and cooperation between biennium 1 and biennium 2 learning objectives and teaching processes.
2. Share experiences and provide guidance on practical and effective methods to teach EBM.
3. Analyze existing teaching activities and design an EBM teaching session.

Team-Based Learning™ in Medical Education: Transforming Small Groups into Productive Learning Teams

Wednesday, October 7, 2009
1:00-4:00 p.m.

Description

Medical Education is placing greater emphasis on active learning: learning that requires applying knowledge to authentic problems; and that teaches students to engage in the kind of collaboration that is expected in today's clinical practice. Team-Based Learning™ (TBL) is a strategy that accomplishes these goals. It transforms passive, lecture-based coursework into an environment that promotes more self-directed learning and teamwork, and makes the classroom come alive. This workshop will provide participants with a real TBL™ module especially designed for health professions educators who have little or no knowledge about it. There will be little sidebar commentary until the hands-on workshop is completed, thereby ensuring that participants understand the process from the learner's perspective. There will be no PowerPoints or introductory lecture!

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

• Explain the key components of a successful TBL™ module.
• Outline how they would construct a TBL™ module from a set of objectives.
• Describe how they might convert a course/lecture they already teach into a TBL™ module.
• Illustrate how to transform a small group into a productive learning team.
