  7. Lit Review: Housestaff involvement in peer curricula

  8. Barriers to resident participation in curriculum development • Lack of knowledge about curricular opportunities • Inadequate understanding of the curriculum development process (lack of standardization of the process) • Relative lack of good models in literature • Lack of mentors • Lack of time to commit to a long-term project with inflexible scheduling

  13. Our model

  14. Our model, cont’d

  15. Conclusions • There’s little documented resident involvement in curriculum development, and no documented planning to engage residents in curriculum development. • Our approach of standardizing and “modularizing” a curriculum development process may serve as a model for facilitating resident participation in curriculum development by eliminating several barriers to involvement.

  16. Part II

  17. Needs assessment Internet survey sent spring 2012 to all new matches and current residents (R1-R4) • 55 new match respondents (85%) • 81 current resident respondents (~60%) 34-37 forced-choice questions + free text • Perceived importance of ultrasound • Confidence/experience with ultrasound for basic IM procedures • Areas of desired instruction

  18. Not all residents know how to use ultrasound for required procedures Percentage of respondents who “know” how to use ultrasound for procedure

  19. Many respondents “would like more training” on ultrasound use for procedures

  20. Some residents are uncomfortable supervising interns who are not trained on US

  21. Nearly all residents prefer interns receive more training on US

  22. Respondents willing to spend own time on further US training Percent of respondents willing to commit own time

  23. Respondents willing to spend own time on further US training Percent of respondents willing to commit own time

  24. Conclusions • New matches are less comfortable and skilled with ultrasound, but even current residents still feel inadequately trained in multiple areas of bedside ultrasound use. • All participants are interested in obtaining further formal training.
