Summary
Medical educators identified "positive deviants," faculty role models, to share effective teaching strategies. This innovative approach successfully led to broader faculty adoption of new teaching methods.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Faculty Development
Background:
- Traditional medical education faces challenges in faculty engagement and effective teaching strategy dissemination.
- Competing faculty responsibilities often hinder dedicated teaching efforts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore an innovative medical education strategy utilizing "positive deviants" as faculty role models.
- To assess the impact of "positive deviants" on the adoption of effective teaching strategies among faculty.
Main Methods:
- Identified faculty members (
- positive deviants
- ) who excelled in teaching despite competing demands.
- Facilitated small group sessions where "positive deviants" shared their successful teaching strategies.
Main Results:
- Faculty participating in sessions with "positive deviants" learned effective teaching strategies.
- A notable increase in the implementation of new teaching strategies by faculty was observed.
Conclusions:
- The
- positive deviant
- strategy is an effective model for enhancing medical education.
- Leveraging exemplary faculty role models can successfully disseminate and promote the adoption of innovative teaching practices.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...
