Internal Medicine Ambulatory Care PEAC Curriculum |
UTHSCSA |
40 students |
| In 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. Before implementation of the curriculum, each faculty member in involved in resident ambulatory care was asked to develop a question-based group discussion guide centered around clinical scenarios to facilitate real world, clinical experience as provided by the faculty mentor to the modules didactic material. This guide was distributed to all faculty and used to lead the weekly sessions when that faculty was assigned. I developed the guide for hip/knee pain and signed up for other module sessions (1 session per month). Each session was usually attended by 10-15 residents. |
