The Rural Continuing Medical Education program offers the Specialist, Sub-specialty, Indigenous and Funding for Innovation (SPIFI) grant to eligible specialist groups, sub-specialty family physicians, and Indigenous communities in BC's Rural Subsidiary Agreement (RSA) communities.   SPIFI enables groups of physicians to form networks that are not based on geography so that they may collaboratively create and participate in innovative educational opportunities.   Applications may only be submitted by a group (approximately 4–6 physicians), or a collaborative of physicians from two or more RSA communities. Proposed activities must be consistent with the goal of addressing the communities’ RCME needs in rural and remote communities. Applicant groups may apply for up to $10,000 per fiscal year.   To apply for funding, visit https://lnkd.in/gWFwHzX6   #rcmeopportunities #spifigrant #ruralmedicine

It has been 14 years since the publication of the Global Consensus for Social Accountability of Medical Schools in 2010. The consensus and its ten strategic directions for social accountability continue to serve as a framework for numerous activities both within medical schools and beyond. https://lnkd.in/e2u-VNEs

🎙️ Have you ever wondered why so many medical students struggle with the leap from UME to GME? Join us on this week's episode of #MedEdgePodcast with Gretchen (Norling) Holmes, PhD as we uncover the tough realities of transitioning in medical education. 🩺 Gretchen isn't just any expert; she's an experienced ACGME Designated Institutional Official and a three-time cancer survivor. She brings a deeply personal and professional perspective to medical education and patient care. You'll learn about: - The critical role of communication in improving patient care and education. - Challenges medical students and residents face, especially during the COVID-19 era. - Strategies to improve medical training, focusing on self-advocacy, empathy, and thorough preparation. 🔗 Tune in to learn why bridging the UME to GME gap is crucial for developing skilled, versatile healthcare providers. Gretchen's insights are key in creating a more effective, empathetic, and human-centered healthcare environment. creating a more effective, empathetic, and human-centered healthcare environment. #medicaleducation #healthcare #ACGME #UME #GME

I’m very committed to continuing medical education. Each quarter, I present a workshop for our entire staff and provider community. We shut down our office for half a day and learn together through mock drills, review of standardized processes, and discussions around optimizing the patient experience and improving patient outcomes. This August, our team will come together to share patient histories and learn best practices. These workshops support our mission: to deliver accessible, equitable, comprehensive, and safe preventive care and chronic disease management for our Northwest Indiana community. Last weekend, I also took time to invest in my own continuing medical education by attending the Cleveland Clinic’s 36th Annual Intensive Review of Internal Medicine. During the conference,my determination was to find ways for our provider community to consistently adopt guideline-directed medical therapies for multiple chronic disease management that would control the cost of care by eliminating redundancies and waste, reducing harm to patients and enhancing clinical outcomes. We also are committed to the Choosing Wisely campaign, an initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) to promote conversations between clinicians and patients to facilitate the above models of care: https://lnkd.in/gZPpbAwM “Choosing Wisely calls upon leading medical specialty societies and other organizations to identify tests or procedures commonly used in their field whose necessity should be questioned and discussed with patients,” according to the ABIM.

At USofCare, we talk a lot about the importance of culturally responsive care (CRC). Seeing a provider with similar life experiences can be validating, affirming, and even life-saving. Unfortunately, for underserved populations, receiving culturally responsive care isn’t a widespread reality just yet. In searching for ways to improve patient access to culturally responsive care, we must look at multiple approaches. While increasing representation in medicine is one, we should also look to medical education to prioritize cultural competence.

With Affirmative Action seeming on life support, what should the future of medical admissions look like? Check out this piece I wrote for Loren Academic Services, Inc. https://lnkd.in/guctgKFk #medicaleducation #affirmativeaction

"What is their mission statement? How interested are you in the things that they seem to prioritize on their website? And how much of a match in your personal interests and personally what makes you tick as a human and as a future physician, how does that line up with what they are presenting? And looking at the faculty, what areas are the faculty in? Are they big policy and advocacy people? Are they big research people? Are they really strong and very passionate about their clinical education?" #residency #medicaleducation #medicalresidency #residencyinterviews

Patient involvement in continuing medical education (CME) is becoming more common, but how can we ensure that these efforts benefit everyone? Read the latest blog post from Leah Bundy on the importance of patient involvement in CME design and content, why this shouldn't be an afterthought, and how we can best work with patients for the benefit of HCP educators, learners and for patients themselves.

The Annual Medical School Graduate Survey is underway! A big shoutout to Emory University School of Medicine, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Mercer University School of Medicine, Morehouse School of Medicine, and PCOM Georgia for their support in administering the Medical School Graduate (MSG) Survey! Annually, the GBHCW diligently collects and analyzes responses provided by medical schools to publish a report delving into insights into medical education in Georgia. The MSG Survey is read by policymakers, medical school administrators, graduate medical education administrators, and various government and non-government agencies interested in Georgia’s medical school pipeline. Once the survey concludes on May 31st, we'll analyze the responses to provide a comprehensive overview of medical education in Georgia. The results will then be announced and posted on our website later in the year, so stay tuned for updates! Check out our survey results from previous years here: https://lnkd.in/evg3GEv3 #Georgia #Medical #MedicalSchool #Healthcare #Data #MedicalEducation #Physicians
