Fostering a Lived Experience Partnership through Simulation CPD Design (WB-01)
Monday, June 5th, 2023 10:00AM - 12:00PM Central Time
Workshop Registration Fee is $50 for all annual meeting registrants
Workshop Registration Fee is $100 for non-registrants of the annual meeting
People with Lived Experience (PWLE) are those who have been impacted by mental illness and/or addiction, and who share their journey to create and enhance health care educational programs. This two-hour workshop will present an overview of initiation and continued integration of a collaborative relationship with PWLEs in the simulation center’s work. Breakouts led by PWLE collaborators will describe how People with Lived Experience participate in the simulation design cycle, contribute to the development of scenarios and scripts, coach simulated participants, and support faculty development. Dedicated time will be available for participants to develop a strategy and document next steps. This workshop is for leaders, administrators, and educators working in continuing medical education who are at any stage of working with PWLE.

Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) Learning in CPD (WA-08)
Tuesday, June 6, 2023, 3:00PM - 4:30PM Central Time
Hybrid Flexible (HyFlex) learning is one term used to describe technology enhanced CPD learning environments that allow learners to choose between face to face (F2F) or online attendance. There are various other terms used including hybrid, dual delivery, and blended synchronous learning to name a few and its lack of a standardized name reflects the evolving nature of this diverse form of delivery. HyFlex environments allow flexible learning options for CPD learners while still maintaining quality provision of education, however, education needs to be carefully planned and delivered. Using collaborative methods and technology enhanced tools, this interactive workshop will review the current definitions and evidence of Blended, Hybrid and HyFlex learning, exploring different models for multi-component medical education. It will highlight moving beyond a technocentric approach to online learning using effective teaching principles, considering how issues such as engagement and inclusivity need to be reconsidered across content delivery, interactivity, and assessment in each teaching modality. Practical application including different formats and facilitation, hardware and software will be discussed. This workshop is designed for both clinical educators and CPD providers and administrators.

Continuing Education Clinician Educators: Planning for Improvement (WA-09)
Friday, June 9, 2023, 10:00AM - 11:30AM Central Time
Clinician educators in continuing education (CE) are typically thrust into the role without formal education or training. The Clinician Educator Milestones can help individual educators identify opportunities for improvement and aid in creating a professional development plan. This workshop will provide an introduction and background of the Clinical Educator Milestones followed by small group discussions, self-reflection, and large group discussion of professional development opportunities. Dedicated time for further discussion and Q&A are built-in. This workshop is designed for CPD professionals interested in their own professional development or in the professional development of the CPD team and clinician educators.
Creating and Revising Clinical Curricula through an Inclusive Lens (WA-07)
Monday, June 12th, 2023, 10:00AM - 11:30PM Central Time
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has emerged as an important foundational principle in medical education. Although widely recognized as a need, those planning and providing education often lack practical tools to help develop, create, and evaluate their education through a DEI lens. We developed a DEI resource guide for use in medical education. In this session, we will discuss the process used to create the resource guide and outcomes related to its use. Participants will have the opportunity to practice applying the guide to modify existing curricular materials. They will also leave with resources to aid in developing similar strategies/resources at their home institutions. Participants will achieve the learning objectives through a mix of various learning techniques include brief didactics, small and large group discussion using practice case studies, individual reflection, and game-based learning. This workshop targets planners of educational activities and materials; this would include speakers as well as those involved with broader curriculum development.

Big Assumptions in Online CPD (WB-04)
Friday, September 29th, 2023 10:30AM - 12:00PM Central Time
CME/CPD educators are deeply familiar with the gap between knowledge and practice–our goal is often to help move health professionals beyond routine practices, towards behaviors they already know they should do, by examining barriers to change. And yet, as CPD providers, we face our own practice gap between our knowledge of effective practices in CPD and our implementation of them, particularly when it comes to taking learning online. Education psychologists Bob Kegan and Lisa Lahey have described “Immunity to Change” rooted in tacit “Big Assumptions.” These Big Assumptions produce fears or worries, reveal competing commitments, and result in actions or inactions that hinder positive change.
COVID-19 allowed us to challenge many assumptions about CPD, including the role of technology since many CPD planners, teachers, and learners had to rapidly pivot to new modes of delivery such as online learning. Some welcomed this change as an overdue opportunity to use technology to enable increased reach to speakers and participants or to rethink how we provide CPD by incorporating effective CPD strategies such as spaced and workplace learning. Others have made do with “emergency remote teaching” while longing for a return to the way things were. In this interactive workshop we seek to surface, interrogate, and ultimately begin to dismantle the Big Assumptions serving as barriers to change in technology-enhanced CPD, particularly online CPD, in order to support CPD leaders in fostering the optimal use of technology to achieve their educational goals.
Cultivating Safe, Equitable, and Inclusive Learning Environments: A Framework for Navigating Accommodations Planning for Medical Learners (WA-06)
Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023, 1:00PM - 3:00PM Central Time
Learners seeking accessibility in training require support for safe and robust accommodations planning to successfully develop the essential skills of a physician. Coordinating accommodations in medical education is challenging due to inconsistent policies, sporadic support across training environments, and a lack of understanding of visible and non-visible disabilities. This workshop will review key legal and equity/inclusion-based frameworks for effective accommodations planning for medical educators considering issues of stigma and self-disclosure. In the workshop, an interactive framework will be presented to aid in determining accommodations. Participants will then apply the framework in interactive small group discussions anchored in high-fidelity trainee cases. Participants will then review and discuss in small groups barriers that exist for medical learners seeking accommodations and based on the cases and formulate potential solutions. Participants will then engage in facilitated discussion on how to improve the accommodations process at their local sites towards inclusive and supportive training environments. This workshop is designed for health professions students, residents, junior and senior faculty, education leaders and wellness leaders.
We Can Not Unring the Bell! Strategies to Tackle Educational Technology Barriers in post-COVID Medical Education (WA-05)
Friday, October 6th, 2023 11:00AM - 12:30PM Central Time
The pandemic disrupted medical education. Despite this, many technologies and innovations were developed during this time to change the way clinical education was delivered while simultaneously transforming the expectations of educators and learners alike. As the world moves on from this ‘great reset’, there is an insidious tendency to revert to pre-pandemic form and norms. This workshop will investigate scenarios and options to equip the educator/teacher with tools to ensure continued progress and momentum forward. Using a case example, participants will focus on addressing technology barriers in small groups from multiple perspectives. At the end of the session, learners will be expected to discuss the different EdTech initiatives during the pandemic (what worked and what did not); examine what administrators, educators, and learners thought (about these innovations, with respect to their roles, ie delivering/managing, creating curricula, and learning/evaluation); appraise the current post-pandemic trends in medical education (are we moving backwards?); and identify and address barriers to implementation of EdTech by examining various perspectives and/or education roles. Participants involved on all aspects of CME/CPD from program coordinators to educators and leaders are invited to attend.
Using Social Learning Principles to Support Life-Long-Learning, Joy and Engagement in CPD and Practice of Health Care (WA-04)
Monday, October 16th, 2023, 11:00AM - 1:30PM Central Time
The science of teaching and learning in medical education has for a long time focused on the developmental and cognitive advances that shine the light on how to structure learning opportunities for individual clinicians with the goal of positive changes in behaviors and improvements in clinical care. However, social aspects of learning structured as part of practice can play a critical role in overcoming barriers to continuous improvement by advancing engagement, motivation and readiness for life-long-learning and change. When learning organizations also support self-directed learning needs of clinicians and faculty, a meaningful, joyful, and effective social communities of learning inspired by and imbedded in practice can blossom. Recent focus on online education and virtual learning environments provides further exciting opportunities for collaborative, sequenced and impactful learning in global contexts. During this interactive session evidence from sociological studies of human behaviors in the workplace will be shared with participants. We will attempt to address the challenge in CME/CPD today to assist clinicians and educators to create strategies for continuous improvement in the workplace. Examples of successful CME/CPD and IPCE redesign using social learning principles and practices such as “communities of learning and practice” and “shared learning spaces” “practice talk”, use of “breaks”, “micro learnings” and others will serve to provoke thinking and sharing of ideas, stories, and resources within the group. This workshop is designed for faculty, educators, CPD planners and others interested who are responsible and engaged in designing effective CPD.
