Lit Review: Housestaff involvement in peer curricula Educators design programs to facilitate residents’ involvement in curriculum development
8
Barriers to resident participation in curriculum development Lack of knowledge about curricular opportunities Inadequate understanding of the curriculum development process (lack of standardization of the process) Relative lack of good models in literature Lack of mentors Lack of time to commit to a long-term project with inflexible scheduling

13
Our model Individual or group identifies multi-faceted curriculum need Develops infrastructure and sustainable layout Writes a large bank of research questions
14
Our model, cont’d Future educators choose sub- topics and develop discrete courses using existing structure Use existing question bank to study course efficacy
15
Conclusions There’s little documented resident involvement in curriculum development, and no documented planning to engage residents in curriculum development. Our approach of standardizing and “modularizing” a curriculum development process may serve as a model for facilitating resident participation in curriculum development by eliminating several barriers to involvement.

Part II
17
Needs assessment Internet survey sent spring 2012 to all new matches and current residents (R1-R4) 34-37 forced-choice questions + free text 55 new match respondents (85%) 81 current resident respondents (~60%) Perceived importance of ultrasound Confidence/experience with ultrasound for basic IM procedures Areas of desired instruction
18
Not all residents know how to use ultrasound for required procedures Percentage of respondents who “know” how to use ultrasound for procedure
19
Many respondents “would like more training” on ultrasound use for procedures
20
Some residents are uncomfortable supervising interns who are not trained on US
21
Nearly all residents prefer interns receive more training on US
22
Respondents willing to spend own time on further US training Percent of respondents willing to commit own time
23
Respondents willing to spend own time on further US training Percent of respondents willing to commit own time
24
Conclusions New matches are less comfortable and skilled with ultrasound, but even current residents still feel inadequately trained in multiple areas of bedside ultrasound use. All participants are interested in obtaining further formal training.
