We hope our members are settled-in at their beach, lake or mountain homes for a few weeks of relaxation during this very hot summer. Between naps, we hope you will take a moment to read a few of the interesting articles in our Summer issue which editorial team has diligently worked to bring you. We draw your attention to the personal story of Mallika Sabharwal, MD in The QI-CPD Matrix column. It’s ‘s an informative story of the struggle and success to minimize burn-out of daily clinical practice as an internist by engaging in the institution’s QI process at Boston University. The column provides an Addendum replete with the organization and curriculum for a successful, CPD office sponsored QI academy, should you be considering establishing a QI academy at your own institution.
In Publications & Scholarship, column editors Campbell and Szot, bring us a dynamic list of “must read” articles. Check out the article on Critical ethnography: implications for medical education research and scholarship. The authors of this paper challenge medical education to rethink the dominant culture’s fundamental assumptions and their unintended consequences on less advantaged groups and society at large. Also see A scoping review of artificial intelligence in medical education: BEME Guide No. 84. Given how healthcare is being rapidly transformed by Artificial Intelligence this scoping review focuses on how AI is reshaping teaching, learning and educational practice in medical education. For those interested in faculty development expansion and renewal, read The Role of Faculty Development in Advancing Change at the Organizational Level. Lastly, if you are looking for ways to improve your activity evaluation process, we encourage you to read Measuring continuing medical education conference impact and attendee experience: a scoping review. Our E-Learning & Technology column also offers insights into how to use ChatGPT to improve your evaluation process and data analysis in Leveraging ChatGPT for Qualitative Analysis of Learners’ Feedback in CME/CPD Courses. A second technology article using ChatGPT will surprise and amuse you, whereby ChatGPT was used as a coach for providers when selecting your accommodation criteria for your self-study report.
Lastly, if you missed the SACME virtual workshop on The Clinician Education Milestone Project: A Shared Model to Drive Faculty Learning at the University of New Mexico, a written summary of the presentation is offered in CPD Innovations.
As a reminder, we are always looking for interesting feature articles to publish in upcoming issues. If you wish to propose an article, please send us an email.
Enjoy the balance of your summer!
Warm regards,
Robert and Ginny
