S urveys are frequently used in graduate medical education (GME). Examples include resident satisfaction surveys, resident work-hour questionnaires, trainee self-assessments, and end-of-rotation evaluations. Survey instruments are also widely used in GME research. A review of the last 7 issues of JGME indicates that of the 64 articles categorized as Original Research, 50 (77%) included surveys ...

Service learning is a field that can provide the foundation for emphasizing the relevancy and realities of local/global health. Service learning is now widely accepted as a form of experiential education in which students “engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development.” Servic...

OBJECTIVE Teaching and evaluation of handovers are important requirements of graduate medical education (GME), but well-defined and effective methods have not been clearly established. Case-based computer simulations provide potential methods to teach, evaluate, and practice handovers. METHODS Case-based computer simulation modules were developed. In these modules, trainees care for a virtual...

BACKGROUND The overarching purpose of this study is to examine the current trends in interprofessional education (IPE) within graduate medical education in the Unites States. METHODS A survey was sent to program directors across with different specialties between March and April 2016. The survey was completed by 233 out of 1757 program directors, which represents a response rate of 13.3%. R...

In the past decade, national attention has increasingly focused on issues of patient safety and health care quality1,2—and health care organizations and the institutions responsible for graduate medical education (GME) have responded Executive leaders of our nation’s hospitals and medical centers are increasingly using the concepts of high reliability systems3,4 for the purpose of making their ...

Journal club (JC), as a pedagogical strategy, has long been used in graduate medical education (GME). As evidence-based medicine (EBM) becomes a mainstay in GME, traditional models of JC present a number of insufficiencies and call for novel models of instruction. A flipped classroom model appears to be an ideal strategy to meet the demands to connect evidence to practice while creating engaged...

BACKGROUND Finding solutions to global health problems will require a highly-trained, inter-disciplinary workforce. Global health education and research can potentially have long-range impact in addressing the global burden of disease and protecting and improving the health of the global population. METHODS We conducted an online survey of twelve higher education institutions in the Pacific R...

I n his 2008 research letter, Ebell 1 highlights the relationship between residency fill rates and physician specialty salary (r=0.82). Mullan referred to this as the “white-follows-green law.” In the same issue, Salsberg et al reported that graduate medical education (GME) expansion since funding caps were put in place favored nonprimary care specialties and was associated with a reduction in ...

Many have recommended changing the professional development of physicians. Concluding that further educational process specification was inadequate, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) decided to specify six general competencies of graduate medical education (GME): patient care; medical knowledge; practice-based learning and improvement; professionalism; interperson...

BACKGROUND Global health has stimulated a lot of students and has attracted the interest of many faculties, thereby initiating the establishment of many academic programs on global health research and education. global health education reflects the increasing attention toward social accountability in medical education. OBJECTIVE This study aims to identify gaps in the studies on global health...
