13. How does your program currently meet the ACGME scholarly activity requirement? (#1 & 2 on your handout)

18. What We Do at Our FM Residency Program Who, What, When, Where, Why & How?

19. – 27 residents (9-9-9) – One group project per year for all residents – 9 groups-Comprised of PGY 1, PGY2, PGY3 – Faculty mentors – One individual project per residency – Completed during second year Community Medicine rotation – Additional individual opportunities – Get to know your IRB contact and people who can help with methodology and statistics WHO: Working Within Your Program’s Boundaries

20. Combination of Individual and Group-based QI Projects Benefits of QI Projects – Quicker—chart reviews – Relevant—more interest on part of residents and on part of hospital or clinic administration Benefits of Group Projects – More than one resident is achieving their scholarly activity goal simultaneously WHAT: Types of Projects

WHERE?

32. Conducting your own research: Makes you a better consumer of research Can help you address issues at the patient, physician, team, and organizational level Provides opportunity for collaboration with other departments and specialties Helps you realize there are many kinds of research National posters, presentations and publications set you apart from other physicians WHY Should Research Be Part of Medical Education?

33. Not just an ACGME requirement… Keep a list across time of posters, talks, publications Recognize those who work hard WHY: Generating Excitement about Research

34. Ideas to Offer – Always on the lookout for projects Willingness to Take Requests – Residents can choose an existing topic or pose one of their own HOW: To Make This Work

35. Resources & Support – Faculty Coordinator(s)/Research Champions – Faculty Mentors – Health system level research support – ACGME Level Support Organization Breaking projects into manageable pieces with accountability for team members HOW To Make This Work

36. A Few Things We’ve Learned… Make roles and expectations as CLEAR as possible! Big ideas are good but the project needs to be manageable. Start with a schedule of dates but remain flexible.

37. Clear Objectives and Expectations

38. Be Clear About Authorship and the Duties of Group Members

39. History Helps – Successful projects  posters, publications – Knowing where to present your research – Get residents/fellow (and faculty) excited Don’t forget to DOCUMENT Do it again the next year, and the next… HOW To Make This Work
