CGEA Presentations and Activities
Oral Session: Contrast Reaction Training using Computer Based Learning and Simulation
Faculty: Caitlin Hackett, MD
Staff: Rich Thompson, PhD (ABD); Kerry Rubadue, MLT
Adverse reactions to contrast are a rare but severe event in radiographic imaging. Caitlin Hackett, MD, and Kerry Rubadue developed a computer-based learning module that taught attending physicians, residents, and techs how to address these events. After data analysis by Rich Thompson, Ph.D. (ABD), these computer-based learning modules were found to be extraordinarily helpful for these groups to retain knowledge retention and provide excellent medical care.
Workshop: Leveraging the Portfolio-Based Scholarship Approach to Promote Faculty Health Professions Education Scholarship Among Trainees
Faculty: Phoenix Chen, PhD
Staff: Kerry Rubadue, MLT; Jeff Barbee DMA, MA
Scholarly productivity and mentoring/advising are two essential elements of faculty educator portfolios and Dossiers that institutions use to evaluate educational excellence, promotion, and tenure. However, academic faculty are routinely challenged to produce scholarship while simultaneously mentoring and advising their trainees in pursuing a passion for education. Likewise, trainees struggle to strengthen their profile for future training opportunities and/or employment due to limited successful experiences in health professional education research.
To seek a win-win solution to this problem, experts from OSU OCS (Kerry Rubadue, MLT, Jeff Barbee, DMA) collaborated with faculty from the Department of Surgery (Phoenix Chen, PhD ) to create the novel Portfolio-Based Scholarship Approach as a convenient and practical tool that collaboratively fosters the quantity and quality of their own and their trainees’ health professions education scholarship. This team will present their workshop at the AAMC Central Group for Education Affairs (CGEA) in April in Milwaukee WI.
Poster Presentation: The Relationship Between a SED Score and the MCAT
Faculty: Demicha Rankin, MD
Staff: Julie Brim; Beth Sabatino, PMP; Jeff Barbee, DMA, MA
Studies have shown that students from more affluent backgrounds tend to be better prepared for college and are more likely to perform better on standardized admission exams. Those from less affluent backgrounds often lack the resources to prepare for and perform in a similar manner on these exams. Consequently, there is a paucity of students with less affluent backgrounds admitted into medical schools. By understanding these differences, medical schools can better quantify these non-cognitive factors to apply more data-informed holistic review of applicants.
Other Presentations and Activities
Poster Presentation: Trifecta: Enhancing Resident Physician Competence in Chronic Disease Management & Care Transitions Across the Lifespan
Faculty:
Staff:
Surjana Dey, Megan McCrohan, Rich Thompson, and Allison Rossetti will present a poster on enhancing physician competence in chronic disease management at the upcoming Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine Conference in Columbus on April 14-17. This poster highlights the successful program results that provided resident physicians with case-based presentations on various chronic diseases between June 2023 and February 2024, including the implications of care across the transition from childhood to adulthood. Attendance at these events was voluntary, as was study participation. A pre-post survey design was used, and individuals (N = 43) were assessed using three primary criteria: identification of the characteristics of the disease, confidence in the treatment of the disease, and confidence in care over the transition between childhood and adulthood. All three criteria were both statistically and practically significant after paired t-tests and effect size analysis.
