Journal of Graduate Medical Education
|June 2, 2012
Summary
A new faculty development curriculum for program directors (PDs) and associate PDs enhances graduate medical education leadership. This program improved communication and accreditation outcomes, offering valuable role-specific training.
Area of Science:
- Graduate Medical Education
- Faculty Development
- Leadership Training
Background:
- Program director (PD) roles require specific orientation and development.
- Existing faculty development often does not meet the unique needs of PDs.
- A need exists for tailored institutional resources for GME leadership.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe an innovative faculty development curriculum for PDs and associate PDs.
- To provide institutional resources and information for GME leadership roles.
- To enhance the administrative leadership skills of PDs and associate PDs.
Main Methods:
- A separate faculty development curriculum was created for PDs and associate PDs.
- The curriculum was modeled on the AAMC-GRA GME leadership development course.
- Monthly 90-minute sessions included mentoring by experienced PDs, with two iterations described.
Main Results:
- Improved communication between PDs across disciplines.
- Experienced PDs benefited from mentorship and shared lessons learned.
- Participants rated the course highly, with positive outcomes including longer accreditation cycles.
Conclusions:
- Dedicated administrative leadership development is crucial for PDs and associate PDs.
- Role-specific training better equips leaders for GME challenges.
- This initiative fosters collaboration between designated institutional officials and PDs for program improvement.

01:28Preclinical Development: Overview
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...
01:28Dosage Regimens: Designs and Approaches
Designing a dosage regimen, which refers to the manner of drug administration, is a complex process involving the selection of drug dose, route, and frequency. This process is underpinned by pharmacokinetic parameters derived from tests and population averages. These parameters are then tailored to patient-specific variables such as diagnosis, demographics, and allergy status. Once therapy commences, therapeutic response monitoring is critical and achieved through clinical and physical...
01:26Methods of Documentation II: POMR
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.
01:18Types of Records II: Educational and Administrative Records
Maintaining nurses' educational and administrative records in healthcare settings, including hospitals and nursing schools, is paramount. Here's a breakdown of the types of academic records mentioned:
01:29Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

01:30Primary Healthcare Services
Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
