Recent NRMP Examinations of Internal Medicine Data: Signaling and Ranking Behaviors in Relation to A

Webinar (Open)

This session will provide an in-depth exploration of two recent NRMP initiatives aimed at examining internal medicine (IM)-specific program signaling data.

• In collaboration with AAMC and NBME, NRMP has been examining the impact of program signaling on three outcomes of interest. This session will explore whether applicants: 1) were included on a program’s rank order list (ROL), 2) were included on the competitive portion of a program’s ROL (i.e., top 25th percentile), and 3) matched to a program.
• NRMP has been exploring the Match outcomes of applicants who ranked IM anywhere on their ROL and of applicants who preferred IM. This session provides insight into the ranking behaviors of those who received IM positions via the matching algorithm or Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program (SOAP). The presenter also shares some of the characteristics (e.g., applicant type, previous Match participation) of applicants who preferred/ranked IM but did not receive any residency position.

Addressing Health Equity Curricular Gaps through Community Partnerships: A How-To Guide

Webinar (Open)

Addressing and teaching about health care inequities is paramount to residency training. However, many programs struggle to create meaningful curricula when creating health equity, social determinants of health (SDOH), and DEI programming, leading to rote didactics and modules that are unlikely to change behavior or improve patient care. A crucial component to teaching and ultimately addressing health equity that is often missing is involving members of vulnerable and minoritized communities as partners in the process.

Program leaders and residents must be empowered to engage with community partners and sites that are already working to address SDOH and health inequities to learn from each other and improve care for the most vulnerable populations.  Examples of two programs in different stages of establishing and growing these partnerships will provide varied and rich reflections on challenges, lessons learned, and best practices.

Promote Retention of Clinical Topics through Spaced Repetition Pairing POC “Dot Phrases” With Your D

Webinar (Open)

Internal medicine residents are adult learners who learn best when educational content is relevant and can be incorporated into their daily practice. The ubiquitous utilization of electronic medical records (EMR) allows for innovative approaches both for content delivery and reinforcement of learning over time.

In this webinar, presenters will share an approach to incorporating educational content using “dot phrases” in an EMR to promote ambulatory medicine knowledge acquisition and retention over time. This approach simplifies complex ambulatory clinical challenges into manageable accessed at the point-of-care. Learners revisit educational objectives through spaced repetition when using these dot phrases during clinic sessions. Presenters will briefly review the science supporting the benefits of spaced repetition, interleaving, and active learning in clinical teaching. Presenters will describe content elements that can be incorporated into dot phrases for educational purposes including essential background details, diagnostic tools, algorithms, and frameworks. Guided case examples will engage in stepwise stages of concept application.

Participants will be prompted to choose appropriate clinical topics, then design paired dot phrases to complement an educational session. Presenters will introduce tools to put in dot phrases such as dropdown lists of choices, links for risk calculators, websites with relevant information, and process instructions that disappear when signing a clinical note. Implementation tips will be shared including how to measure dot phrase utilization and integrate default buttons to provide learners easy access to instructional dot phrases at the point-of-care. This approach has potential downstream benefits on trainee efficiency and documentation completeness while facilitating learning.
