Learner Feedback for AMR sessions mapped to ACGME core competencies.
| Session | Comments | Competencies |
|---|---|---|
| Evidence based medicine application | good to hear about limitations of EBM…will be an influence for always questioning what I am doing in practice and why | PC, MK, SBP, PBLI |
| Health Science Library | learned a lot of new information… nice to walk through new tools | PC, MK, PBLI |
| Designing a poster | good to review what makes a poster effective and not effective. | MK, IPSC |
| Navigating the IRB | will make future research much easier to get done | SBP, PBLI, Pro |
| Optimizing problem based learning sessions | learning how to be a good facilitator will be very useful…great guidelines by which we can improve our own group interactions | MK, PBLI, IPSC |
| Smart searching based on study type | made progress in my database searching ability which was very weak coming into this course | PC, MK, SBP, PBLI |
| Case control studies | (presenter) is a true asset to this rotation…he keeps the learning manageable…his enthusiasm has become contagious in just the first week of working together | PC, MK, PBLI |
| Overview of risk management | answered a lot of questions that we all had about legal issues that no one is ever really straightforward about | PC, SBP, PBLI, IPSC, Pro |
| Feedback in learning and teaching | very helpful strategies to better govern our interactions as student-teachers and provide constructive feedback | PC, MK, PBLI, IPSC |
| Personality inventory session | good to learn about how our own personality styles could work better with other personality types | IPSC, Pro |
| Social media in medical education | helpful information, we must emphasize awareness of this topic, both the dangers but also the strengths of social media in an anesthesiologist’s career | PC, MK, SBP, PBLI, IPSC, Pro |
| The science of quality improvement in health care | very good introduction to lean six sigma and how quality improvement can improve workplace functioning and reduce errors. A fantastic foundation for understanding engineering side of quality improvement in the hospital | PC, MK, SBP, PBLI |
| Leadership workshop: Conflict resolution | enjoyed analyzing the conflicts in a systematic way… to really break it down helped to show where we can improve things | PC, SBP, PBLI, IPSC, Pro |
| Quality improvement projects | great insight into how Dr. X actually implements the Plan Do Study Act format in this hospital… inspiring to see that little changes over time really can have large effects on patient care | PC, MK, SBP, PBLI, IPSC |
| Anesthesiology quality databases | understanding quality databases and using them to their fullest benefit is a great way for anesthesiologists to shine | PC, MK, SBP, PBLI |
| MOCA and lifelong learning | Great for the perspective of our careers, which I believe is the best advantage we’ve gained from this rotation! Much easier working hard towards a goal when we much better understand what that goal actually is. | PC, MK, SBP, PBLI, IPSC, Pro |
