The patient safety OSCE for PGY-1 residents: a centralized response to the challenge of culture change

Teaching and Learning in Medicine
Dianne P WagnerCarol Parker Lee

Abstract

Accreditation and Institute of Medicine mandates require retooling of graduate medical education curriculum and assessment processes. This Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE) focused on patient safety-specific skills important to stakeholders from multiple institutions. A 10-station OSCE was designed to assess patient safety-related competencies in new Postgraduate Year 1 (PGY-1) residents. The OSCE emphasized performance of essential skills and teamwork, and it provided early formative feedback to trainees and leadership. Group nominal process selected 10 final OSCE stations. Two stations were designed to assess team competencies and response to feedback. Two hundred thirty-five trainees enrolled in 64 programs participated during summer 2006. Skill-set aggregation was employed to improve the validity of individual feedback. Significant performance deficits were noted. Trainee and administrator evaluation of the experience was positive. Multi-institutional test development and centralized testing was well received and produced worrisome results. Early assessment can guide the development of task-specific personalized learning plans and systemwide curricular improvement. Further research is needed to determine whether suc...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
