A Faculty Development Workshop for High-Value Care Education Across Clinical Settings.

Area of Science:

• Medical Education
• Health Policy
• Pediatrics

Background:

• Formal training in high-value care (HVC) is often lacking for medical trainees, despite rising healthcare costs.
• Medical education relies heavily on informal learning, necessitating educators skilled in HVC principles.
• There's a critical need to prepare medical educators to teach HVC across diverse clinical environments.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop and evaluate a workshop providing frameworks for teaching high-value care (HVC) in pediatric settings.
• To equip clinical educators with practical tools and strategies for HVC education.
• To address the gap in faculty development for high-value care instruction.

Main Methods:

• A workshop was designed incorporating a literature review, expert knowledge, and feedback.
• Content included a didactic overview of HVC education and practical application sessions.
• Participants developed personal action plans for implementing HVC teaching.

Main Results:

• The workshop was successfully delivered at national and local pediatric conferences.
• Over 89 evaluations (83% response rate) indicated high participant satisfaction.
• Participants reported gaining useful resources and planned specific behavior changes, like initiating HVC conferences and value-based discussions.

Conclusions:

• The workshop effectively addresses the need for faculty development in high-value care education.
• Participants found the training valuable and actionable, indicating potential for widespread adoption.
• The developed frameworks offer a scalable solution for enhancing HVC teaching in medical education.
