Core Curriculum Roadshow | Emory School of Medicine

Mission Statement

To prepare residents and fellows that will emerge from their training programs with a core set of knowledge and skills in Educational Systems and Health Care Systems (i.e., Systems-Based Practice, Professionalism, & Practice-Based Learning and Improvement) needed to work effectively in clinical learning environments.

To further educate the core faculty to enhance their skills in Educational Systems and Health Care Systems.

Goals

To produce residents, fellows, and faculty who:

Are prepared for their roles as teachers, assessors, and supervisors
Are experienced in the methods and tools of quality improvement and patient safety
Participate in the quality and safety systems of their clinical learning environments

Philosophy

Importance of Learner Engagement - Based on the principles of adult learning theory, to help learners move from knowledge (e.g., obtained through online modules) to practice (hands-on problem solving), it is important to engage learners in active learning. "Active learning is generally defined as any instructional method that engages students in the learning process. In short, active learning requires students to do meaningful learning activities and think about what they are doing." (Prince, 2004, p. 223).

Prince, M. (2004). Does active learning work? A review of the research. Journal of engineering education, 93(3), 223-231.

Suggested Teaching-Learning Modalities

Facilitated workshop (45 – 60 min): presentation + interactive component with champion from outside department/program
Facilitated workshop (45 – 60 min): presentation + interactive component with champion from within department/program
Flipped classroom (30 – 60 min): Readings / TED Talk-style presentation prior to session + interactive session

Workshop Topics

Members of The Consortium of Champions will serve as resource experts (e.g., workshop facilitators, TED Talk-style presenters, learner engagement activity developers).

Please click on the links below to get more information regarding learning outcomes, suggested interactive learning and teaching activities, facilitators, and other resources

NOTE: If a program already covers one or more of these topics as part of their didactic curriculum, the GME office will need to (a) ensure that content aligns with Core Curriculum content goals/objectives and (b) track resident/fellow participation.
