Presentation: Curriculum Change: The Inclusive Path

Presenter: Dr. Carol Hodgson

Over the past 20 years, many Faculties in the health professions have embarked on curricular change. These change efforts often include a rethinking of the Faculty’s curricular model. In this presentation, we will discuss five curricular models1 as part of curricular change. Through this discussion, we will compare and contrast how different approaches to curricular change can lead to inclusion or exclusion of key stakeholders.

Carol Hodgson, Ph.D. is the J. Allan Gilbert Chair for Medical Education Research, directs the Teaching Scholars Program, and is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry. Previously, she was an Associate Dean for Educational Development and Research at the University of Colorado Denver, School of Medicine. She received a Master of Science degree in biochemistry from the University of

California, Riverside and a doctorate in Education (educational psychology and research methodology) at UCLA. Before entering the field of medical education in 1992, she was a researcher in preventive medicine at the University of Southern California. Dr. Hodgson actively mentors numerous faculty members in the design and implementation of medical education research. Dr. Hodgson is an expert in curriculum design, evaluation, educational research, and educational assessment, including clinical performance assessment. Dr. Hodgson’s research focuses primarily in the areas of professionalism and cancer education.

UBC Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences 4

Presentation: Approaches and Innovations in an Integrated Basic Science/Clinical Curriculum

Presenter: Dr. Sally Krasne

There is a trend across health professional education to move towards more integrated curricula, ones that integrate horizontally across disciplines and vertically between basic and clinical sciences. Integration holds the possibility of increasing student engagement and allowing greater generalization of knowledge in the service of patient care. Such curricular integration alone, however, is not sufficient to improve practice outcomes without additional changes that enhance both learning and problem-solving skills. This presentation will focus on strategies to improve educational outcomes in an integrated health sciences curriculum and is based on the speaker’s own research as well as experiences at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

By the end of this presentation, members of the audience should be able to:

1. Design lectures that lead to greater attention and retention by students.

2. Develop techniques for “flipping” the classroom as a means to engage students more effectively.

3. Use formative assessments to strengthen learning.

4. Choose the best teaching and learning modality for the type of material to be learned.

Sally Krasne, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Physiology (on recall) at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Previously, she co-chaired the first curricular block of medical education (Foundations of Medicine 1) from its development in 2002 until 2012. She received a doctorate in physiology from the University of California, Los Angeles. Beginning with her doctoral research, her area of specialization was in the field of membrane biophysics. Since becoming involved in

developing the medical school curriculum, however, her research has been in the area of cognitive psychology, focusing primarily on developing educational tools to promote learning in undergraduate and graduate medical education. Her current research focuses on developing online learning and assessment modules that use perceptual and adaptive learning methodologies to enhance pattern recognition in a variety of clinical tasks (e.g., interpretation of 12-lead ECGs, radiographs, histopathology images, ultrasound video clips and characterization of skin lesions).

Workshop: Teaching Using Case-based Learning

Facilitators: Drs. Carol Hodgson and Sally Krasne

As a Faculty changes their curriculum to include more applied active learning methods, they often turn to case-based leaning (CBL). In this interactive workshop, we will discuss various forms of CBL, such as the short case vignette, iterative cases (e.g., PBL), and menu-driven simulations. Different teaching methods that use cases will be discussed, including the role of the facilitator and how best to use cases. How do the various forms of case-based teaching differ, does the delivery method (e.g., paper vs. online) have any effect, and what are the advantages or disadvantages of the various types of case-based learning/teaching methods? Activities will include participating in one to two facilitated cases.

Objectives

Participants will be able to:

1. Describe the rationale for using CBL.

2. Distinguish between different case-based teaching methods.

3. Identify essential teaching skills for CBL.

4. Describe how cases work from a student/participant perspective.
