UTHSCSA Internal Medicine Residency Program Critical Appraisal Course |
UTHSCSA |
100 students |
| Faculty member of the steering committee that developed the structure and curriculum of a course designed to educate UTHSCSA internal medicine residents on the practice of evidenced based medicine using literature search and critical appraisal skills for various study designs in the medical literature. Work time to develop the curriculum involved 3 meetings approximately 1 hour each and various developmental efforts during personal time in between meetings. The curriculum entails 5 interactive resident sessions each 1 hour long. Each session is dedicated to a critical appraisal topic (i.e. lit search/question development, randomized controlled trials, studies of diagnostic tests, prognosis, etc.) lead by a faculty member. Each session includes a pre-quiz, a Power Point presentation given by the faculty lead overviewing key topic concepts, breakout sessions to appraise a pre-selected article that answers a resident driven clinical question, debriefing of the article appraisal, and post-quiz. I was the faculty lead and presenter for the following sessions:
-02/2018 "Studies of Diagnostic Tests"
-03/2019 "Studies of Diagnostic Tests"
Time required for literature searches, pre-session meetings, and preparation for each presentation was approximately 12 hours. |

Internal Medicine Ambulatory Care PEAC Modules: Discussion Session Lead |
UTHSCSA |
15 students |
| adsfasIn order to supplement the UTHSCSA internal medicine residency program ambulatory clinical experience with didactic knowledge covering topics common to ambulatory medicine, a curriculum using the John Hopkins Physician Education and Assessment Center (PEAC) website was instituted. The website has 51 modules covering various ambulatory medicine topics such as hip/knee pain, asthma, diabetes etc. The modules are framed around pre- and post-test quizzes and clinical scenarios with associated multiple choice questions. Explanations for the answers and associated information on the topic are provided. Each month during the resident`s ambulatory clinic week (4+1 schedule), the resident cohorts were asked to complete an assigned module and attend a 30 minute, faculty mentored session covering the module`s material.
