Development of a Residency Research Series to Facilitate Residency Research Brittany L. Riley, PharmD, MS, BCPS Clinical Assistant Professor/Director of Residency Programs Marshall University School of Pharmacy

Disclosure I have no conflict of interest to report

Objectives Describe a format for a residency research series List advantages and disadvantages for a residency research series Outline basic steps to streamlining of longitudinal experiences

Background on Marshall University Affiliated Residencies 1st program started in July 2015 Program status as of July 2018 3 inpatient programs-4 positions 3 outpatient programs-6 positions 1 faculty member who has direct responsibility for the entire residency program Each site has a Residency Advisory Committee and a point person at the site Programs within an hour of the school

Schools Role The school contributes heavily to: Research projects Academic experience Quality assurance/Accreditation Readiness Preceptor Development Site focuses on the clinical teaching aspects This model evolved d/t partnering with sites that key reasons for not having a residency program was –we do not do research, we do well to keep up with our sites accreditations

Historical Method for Research Projects The faculty from the school served as a project advisor A clinical faculty served as the clinical advisor for the project The 2 faculty worked with the individual resident to make sure the project moved forward This worked great when there were 2-3 residents, but as the program grew this started to become complicated

The Good and Bad of the Old Way Very individualized experience Helped bring clinical faculty on board Bad Did every resident really know the practice based fundamentals? Organization

Pilot Project for 2017-2018 Residency Year All residents attended the Residency Research Series Still involved a clinical faculty for each project to serve as clinical advisor

Residency Research Series Layout Session 1: Idea generation and creating the research question Session 2: Planning-Focus on research design Session 3: Planning part 2-focus on timelines Session 4: IRB Session 5: Data management Sessions 6 and 7: Statistical Analysis Session 8: Dissemination of information

Layout for each session Could come in person or log in via webinar Sessions were recorded Each session: A didactic component “Homework” Scheduled as many as possible immediately before a teaching certificate class

What we Found Advantages Every resident received the same information The residents got to do more of the groundwork Disadvantages Differing Places Keeping up with the homework

Statistical Analysis Idea Generation IRB Experiential component Which of the following was NOT included in the residency research series?

Keeping track of “homework” was difficult in the new system? True False Keeping track of “homework” was difficult in the new system?

Have any sites done similar programs for research Have any sites done similar programs for research? How did your layout differ?

Using Technology Google Classroom Dropbox Box Network Drives Pharmacademic Any others? Here I am going to do a demonstration of how we do things on google classroom (~10 minutes depending on internet speed) Will also talk about why google classroom

Using Technology Google Classroom Specific Any Technology Can not use .edu email accounts Links to Google Drive-can use for archiving purposes Google account is not always the primary account our residents check Any Technology Make sure you do a tutorial on key components Make sure it can accomplish what you need

Moving Forward Continue the research series incorporating clinical faculty in these sessions Transition tasks from each session to Google Classroom

Education Demonstration Avoidance Two of the above Which of the following is necessary when using any technology platform?

What technology have you used in your programs to streamline projects and other longitudinal requirements?
