Internal medicine offers a unique opportunity to engage with a wide variety of clinical cases and multidisciplinary diagnoses. Despite their ready availability in day-to-day clinical work, the educational value of these cases often goes underrecognized. Faculty and learners often lack structured support to organize cases into clinical vignettes, thus leaving this wealth of data underutilized. This webinar bridges this gap by discussing how building structures to foster clinical vignette development among faculty and learners can facilitate sharing clinical cases, developing diagnostic reasoning, and formulating cost-effective management strategies. Participants will explore the components of successful case-based scholarship programs integrated from several institutions.
The webinar will introduce attendees to a systematic process to evaluate clinical cases to maximize teaching points, and discuss how to create and maintain structures that can promote optimal learning and encourage scholarly project development. Presenters will share tools that can be implemented in attendee home institutions, such as vignette-writing bootcamps, clinical case repositories, and match-making faculty mentors and learners.
The webinar focuses on professional benefits within academic medicine, such as trainee mentorship and scholarship output, while remaining clinically relevant and attainable. By the end, participants will be equipped with a roadmap, examples of successful program models, and a set of practical tools that they can immediately implement to foster a case-based scholarship program tailored to their specific educational needs.
