12-1: YES!: Setting Goals

December 01, 2023
  • 00:02To be part of the medical education series.
  • 00:04And yes, as you just heard,
  • 00:06we are recording this session.
  • 00:09It's been helpful for others who
  • 00:11are not able to make it at this time
  • 00:13to be able to visit the recording.
  • 00:15So just to inform you that that's happening.
  • 00:19So the series is directed by
  • 00:21doctors Dana Dunn and Andreas
  • 00:22Martin who are both on today.
  • 00:25They're both faculty
  • 00:26associates of the center,
  • 00:27and we have a special treat today because
  • 00:30they're both involved in this session.
  • 00:32So Doctor Martin will actually
  • 00:34be moderating the discussion,
  • 00:35largely by just making sure that
  • 00:38he's keeping track of anything that
  • 00:40you might place in the chat box.
  • 00:42So any questions or comments,
  • 00:44you're welcome to put those in chat and
  • 00:46he'll make sure that they get attention.
  • 00:49Doctor Dunn is our presenter today,
  • 00:51so we're very lucky she's going
  • 00:53to be presenting on the topic of
  • 00:55setting goals in medical education.
  • 00:57So just a little bit of background to
  • 00:59what Dana has done within the medical school.
  • 01:02She's worn many hats.
  • 01:04She's associate Professor of Medicine
  • 01:06in the section of Infectious Diseases,
  • 01:09and as such she works clinically
  • 01:11at the Nathan Smith Clinic,
  • 01:13which provides HIV AIDS treatment and
  • 01:16care and HIV prevention for adults in
  • 01:20her department of Internal Medicine.
  • 01:21She's Associate chair of Education
  • 01:23and Academic Affairs,
  • 01:25offering teaching faculty support
  • 01:28and resources.
  • 01:29In fact,
  • 01:29it was through that role that she
  • 01:32initially presented a Med Ed Faculty
  • 01:34Development series for those who
  • 01:36teach in her department That's
  • 01:38evolved into this Yes series that
  • 01:40she and Doctor Martin Co direct for
  • 01:44undergraduate Medical Education.
  • 01:45Doctor Dunn is director of the
  • 01:47brand new Longitudinal Coaching
  • 01:49program that matches small groups
  • 01:51of medical students with coaches
  • 01:53who stay with them for the duration
  • 01:56of their medical education careers.
  • 01:59The program uses a Master
  • 02:01Adaptive Learning model that,
  • 02:02if you're interested in
  • 02:04learning more about that,
  • 02:05Dana can certainly tell you about
  • 02:07that in in at some future time.
  • 02:10But if I can also use this
  • 02:12opportunity as a plug,
  • 02:13save the date on February 22nd.
  • 02:16One of the key proponents of
  • 02:18the Master Adaptive Model is
  • 02:19going to be with us by Zoom.
  • 02:21So mark that on your calendars.
  • 02:23February 22nd for Graduate Medical
  • 02:27Education Doctor Dunn's Associate
  • 02:30Designated Institutional Officer,
  • 02:32working closely with Doctor Steve Hewitt to
  • 02:35oversee all of Yale's medical GME programs.
  • 02:38So as I said,
  • 02:40many hats and major hats.
  • 02:42There are many more
  • 02:43contributions that I could list,
  • 02:45but that would take us the whole hour.
  • 02:47So I don't want to do that,
  • 02:49but I do want to take the opportunity
  • 02:52to say that Doctor Dunn has recently,
  • 02:55very recently received an award
  • 02:57from the Connecticut chapter of
  • 03:00the American College of Physicians.
  • 03:02She's received the George Thornton
  • 03:04Teaching Award for a career for,
  • 03:06quote,
  • 03:07a career distinguished by involvement
  • 03:10and excellence in medical education.
  • 03:12So as you now hear,
  • 03:14you're in very good hands for
  • 03:17the next 50 minutes
  • 03:18or so. Doctor Dana Dunn.
  • 03:20Oh, thanks so much.
  • 03:21That's nice of you.
  • 03:23Welcome, everybody.
  • 03:23Dana Dunn, you know who I am.
  • 03:26I'd love to know who you are
  • 03:28outside of your name tiles.
  • 03:30So if you could just like in the
  • 03:32chat put if you're teaching in GME
  • 03:36or or UME and if you're teaching an
  • 03:38undergraduate medical education.
  • 03:39If you're pre clerkship preclinic,
  • 03:41no pre clerkship education like
  • 03:43in the 1st 18 months or if you're
  • 03:45in the clinical And if you're
  • 03:47GME do you do like residents or
  • 03:49fellows just so I can get an idea
  • 03:51So just put that in the chat if
  • 03:53you wouldn't mind like where.
  • 03:54Because in the context of setting
  • 03:56goals I would love to know a
  • 03:58little bit more about everybody
  • 04:01what what they're thinking about
  • 04:05when they're setting goals.
  • 04:07So any that we have Chris
  • 04:11Anki who does everything.
  • 04:16UMEGME residents and fellows
  • 04:20a lot of
  • 04:24GMEGMEPA online. Awesome.
  • 04:25OK, keep those coming in
  • 04:27because I want to have this,
  • 04:29make sure that I make this feel
  • 04:31relevant to everybody because it really
  • 04:33ideally will be feeling relevant to
  • 04:36everybody as we'll discover and find
  • 04:39out together that you know goals.
  • 04:42Setting goals and thinking about
  • 04:44goals is a really major part of
  • 04:46the mastery learning cycle that
  • 04:48starts like with why are they here?
  • 04:50And then, you know,
  • 04:51we observe them and then we give
  • 04:53them feedback and set individual
  • 04:54action plans for them to improve.
  • 04:56So hopefully it's going to be
  • 04:58feeling relevant to everybody.
  • 04:59But I was going to try to make
  • 05:01some specific call outs and Andres
  • 05:04will monitor the chat if people
  • 05:06are kind of wanting more examples
  • 05:08in your particular area.
  • 05:10So this is the CME code.
  • 05:13Linda put it in there, 38933,
  • 05:16she'll probably put that in again.
  • 05:20So it would be remiss of me to have a
  • 05:22session on communication of goals if
  • 05:24I don't tell you the goals of the session.
  • 05:27So by the end of this session,
  • 05:29I'm hoping you're going to be able to
  • 05:32differentiate some like terminology that
  • 05:34this comes from the Stanford Faculty
  • 05:36Development Center conceptualization
  • 05:38about how to be thinking about goals.
  • 05:40So they use some terminology
  • 05:42of ends and means goals.
  • 05:43You'll probably recognize some synonyms,
  • 05:45but I want you to recognize the
  • 05:47difference in between the two of those.
  • 05:49And also,
  • 05:49we're gonna spend the majority of
  • 05:51the time thinking about how we can be
  • 05:53more effective in expressing goals,
  • 05:54including using verbs explicitly
  • 05:57and relevant statements,
  • 05:59and we'll have a little practice with that.
  • 06:01But I'm not putting you in
  • 06:02breakout rooms to do that.
  • 06:04Never fear if you're chewing
  • 06:06or otherwise just kind of being
  • 06:09able to listen in the background.
  • 06:10I don't want you to feel like you
  • 06:12can't stay on and participate.
  • 06:15So how we're going to do that?
  • 06:17You know what will be the means to the end.
  • 06:19I'm going to give you some little
  • 06:21mini lecture that defines some of
  • 06:23these terms and gives you some examples.
  • 06:25Then depending on how much,
  • 06:27how many questions you might have about that,
  • 06:29we might be able to watch a 3 minute
  • 06:31video which is a clinical example of
  • 06:33if you were watching a learner in a
  • 06:35clinical situation might you what
  • 06:37kind of things you might think about
  • 06:38for goals and how you might express them.
  • 06:41And then we have a,
  • 06:43a worksheet and Linda's just putting
  • 06:46in the chat now a handout that you
  • 06:48can follow along that has some of
  • 06:50these things so you don't feel like
  • 06:51you have to take a lot of notes.
  • 06:52And then part of it'll you'll also
  • 06:55use towards the end to think about
  • 06:57almost having a deliverable for
  • 06:59yourself of like starting to think
  • 07:01about goals that you often or
  • 07:03objectives that you often have in
  • 07:05your pre clerkship or clerkship
  • 07:07or GME setting and how to maybe
  • 07:10use some of the tools today
  • 07:12to refine those and make those
  • 07:14more effective for yourself.
  • 07:16So does everybody did you put the
  • 07:19handout in there Linda. Awesome.
  • 07:22So at the top the you'll see that
  • 07:25there's a definition of communicating
  • 07:26goals and I'm I've put it here the
  • 07:29establishment and explicit expression
  • 07:31for the teachers and or learners
  • 07:34expectations for the learners.
  • 07:36So we're really talking about
  • 07:37goals we have for our learners,
  • 07:39not despite our learners,
  • 07:41but really for our learners.
  • 07:43So in the lay definition of this
  • 07:45might be why are our learners here?
  • 07:47And this should be why this should be
  • 07:50very motivating 'cause this is really
  • 07:52about like what we're all doing.
  • 07:53We're here and hoping that we
  • 07:55have a goal that the knowledge,
  • 07:57goals, skill, goal, attitude goals.
  • 08:00Why are learners here?
  • 08:02They're really here to learn this
  • 08:04content and there's a lot of
  • 08:06interactions when you're thinking
  • 08:07about content between teacher,
  • 08:09what you might goals you might have for them.
  • 08:11Learners have their own goals.
  • 08:13We're going to talk about that.
  • 08:15But then you see these kind of layers
  • 08:17around this triadic graphic here,
  • 08:21that the goals might you might
  • 08:24have your goals,
  • 08:25but the goals also might be overlaid
  • 08:27upon you by the office of curriculum or
  • 08:30the course director for the course or
  • 08:32the clerkship director or the OR the,
  • 08:35you know,
  • 08:35a CGME and the residency
  • 08:38program requirements.
  • 08:38So some of these goals for teaching
  • 08:41knowledge killer attitudes might
  • 08:43be coming from you or they might be
  • 08:46coming from societies or schools.
  • 08:48So there are a lot of layers that can
  • 08:50affect the context about how we have
  • 08:52to think about goals and how much
  • 08:55variability we have over them or or control.
  • 08:59But there's really the content is looming
  • 09:02large here about why our learners are here.
  • 09:05And I'll say at least in
  • 09:07the Department of Medicine,
  • 09:08our teaching evaluations are organized,
  • 09:12that students,
  • 09:13residents,
  • 09:13and fellows evaluate us by our learning
  • 09:16climate and our ability to teach
  • 09:18and our ability to get feedback,
  • 09:20etcetera.
  • 09:20But we have a a question about
  • 09:23communicating goals,
  • 09:23and this is the one we do the worst AT.
  • 09:25And I think that maybe some people
  • 09:27have felt like they just don't
  • 09:29realize that the learners value
  • 09:32goals that they really do want.
  • 09:35It really decreases anxiety for the
  • 09:38learners to know explicitly what you
  • 09:40want because you really do have goals,
  • 09:42even if you don't say them,
  • 09:43you do know that you want things you
  • 09:46expect for them to know and to do and
  • 09:48to behave professionally, etcetera.
  • 09:50So This is why I'm hoping this is
  • 09:52a fairly motivational activity to
  • 09:55be thinking about getting better
  • 09:57at because goals.
  • 09:59And you know,
  • 10:00we're using the term goal a little
  • 10:02bit vaguely in here as kind of
  • 10:05synonymous with some other terms
  • 10:07like learning objectives or
  • 10:09educational objectives or you know,
  • 10:10outcomes etcetera.
  • 10:11They're for purposes of our discussion today,
  • 10:15we're going to use them
  • 10:16a bit interchangeably,
  • 10:17but they really help your learners
  • 10:19know what to master.
  • 10:20You know, if you have a goal
  • 10:21for a session and pre, you know,
  • 10:22in your anatomy course or you have a
  • 10:24goal at the beginning of the clerkship,
  • 10:25you have a goal at the
  • 10:27beginning of your residency.
  • 10:28You know, if you don't have a goal,
  • 10:30part of part of the mastery learning cycle
  • 10:31is having learners where they're going,
  • 10:33where are they going, what,
  • 10:35what am I supposed to know
  • 10:37by the end of this time?
  • 10:38So then it helps you by them
  • 10:40knowing what the goal is, you know,
  • 10:41starting with the end in mind.
  • 10:42It helps you know what content
  • 10:44and other things that you need
  • 10:46to provide the learner for,
  • 10:48for them to be able to reach their goal.
  • 10:50And then there's a shared mental
  • 10:52model that seems very fair to them,
  • 10:54that there's a shared idea of
  • 10:56how you're going to assess them.
  • 10:58So if you were to just start giving them,
  • 11:00you know,
  • 11:01a course on microbiology and not tell
  • 11:03them what the goals are or what you
  • 11:05expected the learner to know at the end,
  • 11:06and then you gave them a test
  • 11:08at the end that might feel very
  • 11:11uncomfortable or challenging and
  • 11:12potentially not fair for them.
  • 11:14Similarly,
  • 11:14in the clinical arena,
  • 11:16at the end of the rotation,
  • 11:17you give them feedback that they didn't,
  • 11:19you know,
  • 11:19present with this kind of efficiency or
  • 11:21they didn't write their notes by this
  • 11:23time or they didn't do some sort of thing.
  • 11:26Then you don't have the shared mental
  • 11:28model that's very explicit about what
  • 11:31you want them to do and that they
  • 11:32understand and can contribute to that.
  • 11:34So this is hopefully feeling motivating
  • 11:37that and the relevant statement for why.
  • 11:40By the end of this hour,
  • 11:42I'm hoping that we will meet our
  • 11:44learning objectives of you feeling more
  • 11:46effective in in communicating goals.
  • 11:48All right.
  • 11:49So we're going to talk about three things.
  • 11:52We'll talk.
  • 11:53We're going to start talking
  • 11:54about types of goals and this is
  • 11:55where we're going to talk about
  • 11:56ends goals and means goals.
  • 11:57And I'll define those brief word on timing.
  • 12:00And then we're going to get into
  • 12:02kind of the key components of how we
  • 12:04can get better in expressing goal.
  • 12:06And and please interrupt at any time.
  • 12:09I am not seeing the chat actively,
  • 12:11but I'm trusting that Andres can
  • 12:14decide if he wants to interrupt me.
  • 12:17All right.
  • 12:18So the first thing is just this or
  • 12:21for your consideration A terminology.
  • 12:23So you can consider two types of goals.
  • 12:26Ends goals and means goals.
  • 12:27So an end goal would be AC if
  • 12:29you have a learner here at the
  • 12:31beginning T1 like time one.
  • 12:32This could be at the beginning of
  • 12:34grand rounds talk or at the beginning
  • 12:37of the clerkship block or the
  • 12:39beginning of some you know internship.
  • 12:41Could really depend.
  • 12:42Some of you are here thinking
  • 12:44about goals for a whole course,
  • 12:45some of you are here thinking
  • 12:47about goals for a
  • 12:48teaching sessions.
  • 12:48So whatever you're picturing right now,
  • 12:51the, the, the, if you have a learner
  • 12:53that's at time one, your end goal,
  • 12:55is it really at the end of that time,
  • 12:58time 2, we'll call, you know,
  • 12:59what do you want for your learner?
  • 13:01You know what?
  • 13:02What is your goal for the end of that time?
  • 13:04You know it could be just a knowledge goal.
  • 13:05It could be an outcome goal.
  • 13:08What What is your thought at the end?
  • 13:10And we're gonna be talking about
  • 13:12how to get better and verbalizing
  • 13:13that but it's what you're hoping
  • 13:15for them by the end of the session.
  • 13:17However you define that means goals
  • 13:19are the what are the educational
  • 13:23activities that you're gonna recommend
  • 13:25or that they can come up with that are
  • 13:27gonna help them meet that goal right.
  • 13:29So ends is where do they gonna be
  • 13:31at the at the end and and the means
  • 13:33goals are how what are the activities
  • 13:35So they should be action verbs what
  • 13:37are the activities that they're gonna
  • 13:39do to be able to meet that end goal.
  • 13:41Now if some of you just are doing a
  • 13:44end goal for thinking about learning
  • 13:47objectives for a talk like by the end
  • 13:50of this session I want you to be able
  • 13:52to articulate goals or I want you to
  • 13:54define ends goals and means goals.
  • 13:56The educational activity might
  • 13:57be pay attention,
  • 13:59listen to me and that's the activity.
  • 14:02Or it may be that I'm going to have
  • 14:04you watch a video and it may be that
  • 14:06I'm going to have you do a worksheet.
  • 14:08But some just content heavy things
  • 14:10might be just and so I'm going to help
  • 14:12you get there because I'm going to I'm
  • 14:14going to teach you with my words So
  • 14:16I'm gonna just give you some examples.
  • 14:18So here's for example you know we
  • 14:21can but we can bunch domains of of
  • 14:24of goals into knowledge skill and
  • 14:27attitudes and so you can imagine
  • 14:29any of you on here you could have
  • 14:32your own knowledge goal I'm sure
  • 14:33like Andres Martin might have some
  • 14:35child psychiatry knowledge goal.
  • 14:38John and Candela might have something
  • 14:40about a skill of running a focus group.
  • 14:42So just as an example,
  • 14:45let's Chris,
  • 14:46say we have a cardiologist on here
  • 14:48or maybe Chris think he wants his
  • 14:51student to understand heart failure.
  • 14:53So I want you to be able to
  • 14:55understand heart failure.
  • 14:55We're going to come back about maybe
  • 14:57why that verb is not the greatest,
  • 14:59but
  • 15:01what would be some mean what
  • 15:03what could that learner do to
  • 15:05be able to get to that goal?
  • 15:06So you know, Chris might recommend you know,
  • 15:10read this chapter, you know,
  • 15:11go to up to date, read this thing,
  • 15:14do that rotation, you know,
  • 15:16go to the SIM center and do that
  • 15:18simulation and get feedback on it.
  • 15:19So you can see that you've
  • 15:21got these action verbs, read,
  • 15:22rotate, do a simulation.
  • 15:24And we really like to have ideally a
  • 15:27couple of different means goals because
  • 15:29learners sometimes learn differently and
  • 15:30maybe they want to have it be hands on.
  • 15:32Maybe sometimes people would
  • 15:34rather watch a video.
  • 15:35Maybe they need options because they
  • 15:37can't do the CC rotation because it's
  • 15:40booked up or not available to them.
  • 15:42Maybe they need something other
  • 15:44than simulation because they don't
  • 15:46have a SIM center where they are,
  • 15:48so just being able to have or or maybe
  • 15:50the first means goal that you got
  • 15:52them didn't help them meet their ends.
  • 15:54It really wasn't enough.
  • 15:56So coming up with brainstorming a variety
  • 15:58of activities to help them a skill goal.
  • 16:02Similarly,
  • 16:02like a skill could be a communication
  • 16:05skill or it could be a psychomotor skill,
  • 16:07it could be a procedural skill.
  • 16:09So place a central line.
  • 16:10I want you to be able to place a
  • 16:12central line and so how can you do that?
  • 16:14Here's some examples again here
  • 16:17and then attitudes.
  • 16:18I see Andre's got your your hand raised.
  • 16:21I'll just say this last thing,
  • 16:24an end goal might be be patient centered.
  • 16:27I want you to be patient centered.
  • 16:28I want you to be whatever you know
  • 16:32learner centered or be respectful and
  • 16:35here's some some potential activities
  • 16:38here that you might be thinking about
  • 16:40interviewing a patient getting feedback,
  • 16:43reading the mirrors criteria.
  • 16:44Andres did you want to ask something
  • 16:52not me but Chris Sankey has a very good
  • 16:54comment that I think we could expand on.
  • 16:56So Chris, do you want to share
  • 16:57with the group and with Dana.
  • 17:02Oh sure, I I I'm just merely under score.
  • 17:06The I I think the essentiality so
  • 17:10to speak of of actually making the
  • 17:13difference between sort of ends
  • 17:15goals and means goals. Because in my
  • 17:18experience with both you and me
  • 17:19and GME learners, if you sit
  • 17:21down and ask the learner to identify
  • 17:24their for whatever experience
  • 17:26you're about to start,
  • 17:30I I, I have invariably gotten knowledge
  • 17:33based ends goals like I want to
  • 17:35be better at EKGS, I want to be.
  • 17:38I want to understand antibiotics
  • 17:40and like they they tend to sort
  • 17:43of make sense at face value.
  • 17:45But in my experience,
  • 17:46it's a recipe for total lack of success
  • 17:50in in really achieving and meaningful.
  • 17:53Because at the end of the experience,
  • 17:56you sit back down, you say,
  • 17:57I don't know anything more about EKGS.
  • 17:58Do you feel antibiotics and you get sort
  • 18:01of some form of a shoulder shrug. So
  • 18:04if you're explicit about the difference
  • 18:05between ends goals and means goals,
  • 18:07you can really have some meaningful
  • 18:09discussions about different
  • 18:10domains like behaviors, skills,
  • 18:14attitudes and specific behaviors that can
  • 18:18more effectively tracked and achieved.
  • 18:20Yeah, yes. And I'm setting myself
  • 18:23up here to be using some poor ends
  • 18:25goals verbs here of understanding
  • 18:28'cause that's not very behavioral,
  • 18:30it's not very observable.
  • 18:32So we'll talk about how we can help
  • 18:34either when we're expressing or when
  • 18:36we're learners are coming to us with
  • 18:38goals that they're expressing to help
  • 18:39them use some some some behaviors that
  • 18:42I'll I'll talk about after we talk
  • 18:45about timing to help it be less vague.
  • 18:48But I just wanted to make the hopefully
  • 18:50you're getting just the the idea here,
  • 18:51but the definition between
  • 18:52ends goals and a mean goal.
  • 18:54Because some people to
  • 18:56Chris's point are very endsy.
  • 18:58And you know you're you're an advisor
  • 19:00to somebody or you might be a coach
  • 19:01to somebody or you might be a program
  • 19:03director and people your learner will
  • 19:05come in and say I want to be able to get
  • 19:08better and teaching clinical reasoning.
  • 19:09And a lot of us would just be like,
  • 19:12OK, good luck with that.
  • 19:13That sounds like a great goal,
  • 19:14but we're not so mindful about like how,
  • 19:18how are you going to do that?
  • 19:19I've got this great book,
  • 19:20Teaching in the Hospital, Chapter 3,
  • 19:22How to Teach Clinical Reasoning.
  • 19:24Here's like an app on your phone that
  • 19:26you can use for clinical reasoning.
  • 19:27Medicine tool kit.
  • 19:28I mean,
  • 19:29sometimes they figure it out,
  • 19:30but a lot of times they don't and they
  • 19:33need us to be thinking about the means.
  • 19:35Conversely,
  • 19:35a lot of times we can be very meansy.
  • 19:39We're like draw that blood tote that
  • 19:41bail you know call that family and
  • 19:43the students might be thinking or
  • 19:45go to that workshop and be prepared
  • 19:47for the to interact with your peers.
  • 19:49They might be thinking that you know
  • 19:51what does that have to do with anything.
  • 19:52And if you could say because because
  • 19:54that ties back to like what it is
  • 19:57to be patient centered or how to
  • 19:58take care of the whole team or how
  • 20:00to demonstrate communication skills
  • 20:02that you're gonna be able to you know
  • 20:04need to draw on as you continue to
  • 20:06have professional identity formation.
  • 20:08So making sure that we're we're
  • 20:11not how they relate to each other
  • 20:14similarly like you could might
  • 20:16think that the anatomists.
  • 20:18Think that they're only in the knowledge.
  • 20:19They only have knowledge as a a goal
  • 20:22and and you know they might recognize
  • 20:24that they could have attitude goals
  • 20:27in the dissection lab around being
  • 20:31respectful or being team members.
  • 20:34So I think it's it's useful to always
  • 20:36do a a survey of ourselves to be broad
  • 20:40and think about ends and means goals.
  • 20:43I'm going to,
  • 20:43we're going to come back to
  • 20:45refining this a little bit,
  • 20:46but I just wanted to make sure
  • 20:48we did those definitions.
  • 20:50OK, a brief word on timing,
  • 20:52thinking about goals,
  • 20:53so you can be thinking about goals before,
  • 20:56during and after.
  • 20:57I would think a lot of us who are
  • 21:01doing a talk or we're doing a
  • 21:04course or you know even those of
  • 21:06us who might teach frequently and
  • 21:08you're kind of going into repeated
  • 21:10clinical sessioning probably
  • 21:11often have a repertoire of of
  • 21:13goals in our heads ahead of time.
  • 21:15And certainly before you plan any
  • 21:17curriculum or you plan any talk,
  • 21:19you do need to think about goals
  • 21:21ahead because that as our three
  • 21:23main motivating goal reasons
  • 21:25for goals helps us know what to
  • 21:27how to plan our teaching.
  • 21:29You're really starting with the end in
  • 21:31mind what do we really want to know.
  • 21:33So we do a lot of goal thinking before,
  • 21:36but sometimes it comes to us during.
  • 21:39And I think this is not limited to clinical,
  • 21:42but a lot of us who are doing clinical
  • 21:44teaching can recognize that while
  • 21:46we're watching someone present or
  • 21:48while we're watching the resident
  • 21:50lead the team or while we're watching
  • 21:53a student attempt a physical exam.
  • 21:56A goal comes to us based on our
  • 21:59direct observation that, you know,
  • 22:01there could be a goal around, you know,
  • 22:03a knowledge, skill or an attitude.
  • 22:05Or maybe even after, you know,
  • 22:07you recognize that you had a kind
  • 22:10of goals set up because you thought
  • 22:12your learner was at LL1, you know,
  • 22:14kind of level.
  • 22:15And so you had some goals and
  • 22:17some teaching plan.
  • 22:18And then you you went into it and you
  • 22:20realized that your learners all knew
  • 22:22a lot more and that they were at L4
  • 22:24and that you need to do a doctor.
  • 22:26You were at L -, 2.
  • 22:28Oh,
  • 22:28OK,
  • 22:29you're going to see her because
  • 22:32they really weren't able to.
  • 22:35They they were behind or maybe they didn't
  • 22:37have some fundamental foundational content.
  • 22:39So you might have to just based
  • 22:42on where your learners are,
  • 22:43what you're noticing etcetera.
  • 22:46So just to remind you that goals can
  • 22:51come at you at different times based on
  • 22:55direct observation in your experience.
  • 22:58So what we're going to get into now,
  • 22:59and this is we're going to drop
  • 23:01one more hand out into the chat,
  • 23:03is we've talked about kind of
  • 23:05ends goals and means goals that,
  • 23:07you know,
  • 23:08we're motivated to get better at this
  • 23:10because it's really so fundamental
  • 23:12for why our learners are here.
  • 23:14Thought about kind of the timing,
  • 23:15but how can we get better
  • 23:17at expressing our goals?
  • 23:18So we're gonna go over you using
  • 23:21verbs to to help us express goals
  • 23:24that would be specific and observable.
  • 23:27And a lot of you are probably familiar
  • 23:29with SMART goals and you're gonna be
  • 23:31hearing probably some synonyms in there.
  • 23:32So we're gonna talk about
  • 23:35using verbs more deliberately,
  • 23:37and then we're going to talk about
  • 23:40using relevant statements and
  • 23:42expected levels of competence.
  • 23:44So I'm not going to probably.
  • 23:46Does everybody have the
  • 23:48handout that has the verbs?
  • 23:50Were you able to put that in there,
  • 23:51Linda? Awesome. All right,
  • 23:55so if you can open that.
  • 23:58Oh, I forgot that I made a slide on it.
  • 23:59It should look like this.
  • 24:01So this is something you're
  • 24:02going to want to keep close by.
  • 24:04If you're somebody who has
  • 24:05to give a lot of talks,
  • 24:06or you run courses and you're
  • 24:08like or people are always asking
  • 24:09you for your learning objectives,
  • 24:11it's always good to have some verbs.
  • 24:13You can probably find this
  • 24:14online in a number of places,
  • 24:15but on the top you've got some
  • 24:18knowledge verbs and from left to right
  • 24:20in the screen that you're seeing,
  • 24:23you can see that they get
  • 24:24cognitively more complex.
  • 24:25Recall all the way up to application.
  • 24:28So using verbs wisely means
  • 24:30for your ends goals.
  • 24:32You want to make sure that you're
  • 24:34matching really kind of the level that
  • 24:36you're expecting to your learner.
  • 24:38So you can see that if you've
  • 24:40got an early learner,
  • 24:41maybe you're not having to
  • 24:43manage heart failure yet,
  • 24:44but maybe they need they would
  • 24:46be able to define heart failure,
  • 24:48or maybe they would be able to
  • 24:49list the causes of heart failure.
  • 24:51So understanding heart failure is
  • 24:54not an observable behavior and we
  • 24:57can be more effective in expressing
  • 24:59our goals if we use verbs that match
  • 25:02what we really can observe and what
  • 25:05we expect that they would be able to do.
  • 25:08So like to Chris's example of an EKG,
  • 25:11if the resident,
  • 25:12if the goal comes from the resident
  • 25:14saying I want to get better at EKG,
  • 25:16you can help them.
  • 25:17Like what?
  • 25:18Do you want to be able to really like,
  • 25:20compare and contrast just
  • 25:22an atrial tachycardia?
  • 25:24You know this atrial arrhythmia
  • 25:26to the other atrial arrhythma?
  • 25:28Or do you want to really be able to
  • 25:31interpret a complex EKG, Et cetera?
  • 25:35So using the knowledge,
  • 25:37and I have a couple of examples for
  • 25:39these are good for your knowledge verbs.
  • 25:41The skill verbs are a little more
  • 25:44sparse and you could probably
  • 25:46still come up with your own,
  • 25:47but for psychomotor skills or
  • 25:50for communication skills,
  • 25:51you can see some examples here
  • 25:53that you could use to express
  • 25:56yourself more precisely.
  • 25:57And I really like the attitude
  • 25:59ones here 'cause sometimes this is
  • 26:01really can help you and I'll I'll
  • 26:03give you an example in in our table
  • 26:06that I had previously filled out.
  • 26:08But if you have somebody who's showing
  • 26:10up late for teaching rounds all the time,
  • 26:12or they're for them to be able
  • 26:15to attach value to educational
  • 26:19time or adhere to professional,
  • 26:21you know, responsibilities,
  • 26:22etcetera,
  • 26:23that can be useful for you to
  • 26:26have these these verbs.
  • 26:28But verbs can help you feel like
  • 26:31you're using specific asking,
  • 26:33specific behaviors that you can
  • 26:35observe that match their level.
  • 26:37So I'm just starting to kind
  • 26:39of fill in here to refine my
  • 26:41end school that if I have a
  • 26:44P GY1 maybe if they want to know
  • 26:45about heart failure we would have a
  • 26:47a verb that matches that compared
  • 26:49to maybe a first year Med student.
  • 26:51Same with the central line or a
  • 26:53skill that they would be able to
  • 26:55place one as opposed to a sub intern
  • 26:57might just be able to assemble the
  • 27:00you know or or list the parts.
  • 27:02And if I'm talking about an an
  • 27:06attitude goal of filling out your
  • 27:08teaching evaluations on time,
  • 27:10maybe through a conversation
  • 27:11really that that you know,
  • 27:13maybe people aren't filling out
  • 27:15their teaching evaluation because
  • 27:16it's a time management skill.
  • 27:18So sometimes there is a differential
  • 27:19diagnosis for what you might be seeing.
  • 27:22You have to make sure is it
  • 27:23a skill or an attitude.
  • 27:24But if you feel it's an attitude,
  • 27:25being able to, say,
  • 27:26placing value on teaching evaluations
  • 27:28brings up a whole different means
  • 27:30goal list than a time management
  • 27:33skill of finding a time to fill out
  • 27:35your teaching evaluations would so
  • 27:38place value on teaching evaluation.
  • 27:40So hopefully you're you're
  • 27:41recognizing that the ends goals can
  • 27:44be more refined and you can be more
  • 27:47effective in expressing yourself by
  • 27:49thinking about verbs that match.
  • 27:51Another way that you can be more effective
  • 27:55in expressing it is explaining why.
  • 27:58Why do I want you to be able to do that?
  • 28:00Why should you be able to do that?
  • 28:03And I started this conversation with saying,
  • 28:05like,
  • 28:05why should you know,
  • 28:06my ends goal for you on about this session
  • 28:08is the finance and means goals of blah,
  • 28:11blah, blah.
  • 28:12And then I said because because
  • 28:15there's these three things,
  • 28:17these three things that
  • 28:18should really motivate you.
  • 28:20It, it does this,
  • 28:21it serves that, it does that.
  • 28:23So maybe that resonated with you.
  • 28:25So if I said, you know,
  • 28:27let's see who's on the call,
  • 28:29Michael Green or Rob Homer,
  • 28:31I'm like, I want you to listen
  • 28:33to my travel clinic talk.
  • 28:35And and Michael Green might be like,
  • 28:36I I get so bored with travel.
  • 28:38And I'm like,
  • 28:39because you know,
  • 28:41so maybe it's going to be on the
  • 28:42boards because you're going to
  • 28:43go to Costa Rica and you're going
  • 28:45to be really mad that you didn't
  • 28:46pay attention to know whether you
  • 28:48should take malaria prophylaxis
  • 28:49or your aunt's going to call you
  • 28:51and they're going to want to know.
  • 28:52So why? Why do I?
  • 28:55Why should you want to pay attention?
  • 28:57That can be also really motivating
  • 29:00to tell a first year intern who's
  • 29:03a dermatology resident that they
  • 29:05need to learn how to read the EKG.
  • 29:08They might say why,
  • 29:09and maybe you have to have a
  • 29:11little thing in your pocket,
  • 29:13and if you can't come up with one,
  • 29:14maybe it's not a relevant goal.
  • 29:17So that that's all I'm going to say
  • 29:19about that, relevant statements.
  • 29:22Have a little elevator pitch
  • 29:24in your pocket about why.
  • 29:25Another thing that can be
  • 29:27really super useful,
  • 29:28and this is along the lines of the verbs that
  • 29:30help people feel like it's more concrete,
  • 29:32is really being explicit about
  • 29:34the level of competence.
  • 29:36So you know how I want you to be
  • 29:38able to do this? Super, you know,
  • 29:41this triple lumen catheter or a
  • 29:45central line, aided or unaided.
  • 29:47You know, I want you to be able to
  • 29:49read these Ekgs perfectly, or 50%.
  • 29:51I want you to be able to present, you know,
  • 29:54as opposed to I want you to present better.
  • 29:57You're like I want you to be able to
  • 30:00present a new H&P using this framework
  • 30:05in 5 minutes with minimal notes by
  • 30:08the end of week and then by week
  • 30:10two you're going to have no notes.
  • 30:13You know, that doesn't leave a lot
  • 30:15of room for the student not really
  • 30:17being clear about what you want.
  • 30:19So you can also improve your effectiveness
  • 30:23in expressing goals by using verbs.
  • 30:26Any Any questions here?
  • 30:29Goals and objectives?
  • 30:30Yeah,
  • 30:32Scott, I would use them synonymously here.
  • 30:36We're just using that goals
  • 30:37as a kind of a general term,
  • 30:40so you can use them synonymously for the
  • 30:42purposes of ends and means, etcetera.
  • 30:43The last thing I would say that a
  • 30:46lot of us are not so great at is
  • 30:48like we might feel all empowered to
  • 30:50talk about goals at the beginning.
  • 30:51This is maybe more for people who've
  • 30:54got longitudinal relationship or
  • 30:56you're clinically with somebody
  • 30:57as opposed to a lecture.
  • 30:59You don't necessarily have
  • 31:00to repeat goals periodically.
  • 31:02But if you've had a goal discussion and
  • 31:05to be able to come back and say how
  • 31:07are you doing and meeting that goal if.
  • 31:10Because if they're not do you
  • 31:11need a different means goal?
  • 31:13Do you need to be kind of brainstorming
  • 31:16about or did they that they accomplish
  • 31:18that goal and you can now come up with
  • 31:21another one and you can really make
  • 31:23progress in these in these periods
  • 31:25of time that you're with people.
  • 31:27So lastly before we watch a quick video,
  • 31:32you know we've been kind of talking
  • 31:34about being very teacher centered
  • 31:36at this point but we do also want
  • 31:39to be learner centered.
  • 31:40So what can be,
  • 31:41what can the learner centered
  • 31:43part be and like how where is the
  • 31:45Co creation of goals happening?
  • 31:46So I would say in two areas,
  • 31:48because you do have goals.
  • 31:50I mean,
  • 31:51even if you have goals that can
  • 31:53stand by themselves because you know
  • 31:54that there's we're going to evaluate
  • 31:56them or there's going to be a,
  • 31:58there's going to be a test.
  • 32:00There's there's graduation requirements.
  • 32:02There's definitely things that
  • 32:04are going to be outside of the OP
  • 32:06thing for the student to opt out
  • 32:08of or the resident to opt out of.
  • 32:10But for the resident to and student
  • 32:13to to buy in and understand you
  • 32:15the goals that you have for them.
  • 32:17Maybe there's some negotiation.
  • 32:18Maybe you're going to need to
  • 32:19have another relevant statement.
  • 32:21If they don't get,
  • 32:21if they don't buy into your goal
  • 32:25and then you can ask for their goals also,
  • 32:27right? So you can.
  • 32:28It's an important part.
  • 32:30You have your goals.
  • 32:31Their goals don't get to trump yours,
  • 32:33but for you to find out about theirs
  • 32:35so that you they can intermix,
  • 32:37you can prioritize them,
  • 32:38you can help them be more specific
  • 32:41and develop their own SMART goals.
  • 32:43You can help them brainstorm their
  • 32:45own means goals and you can follow
  • 32:47them so that in that way you
  • 32:49are kind of Co creating Andres.
  • 32:53Yes,
  • 32:56Scott Casper, who is frequent attendee,
  • 33:00good to see you, Scott.
  • 33:01He asked a question that
  • 33:03that I had in my mind.
  • 33:04So maybe you can expand,
  • 33:05but can you explain any difference
  • 33:08between goals and objectives?
  • 33:09I know that you and I talked about it.
  • 33:13I mean I think just for the
  • 33:15purposes of today, I mean you
  • 33:17can have educational objectives,
  • 33:19you get objectives for yourself as
  • 33:21a teacher, you can have educate
  • 33:23objectives for your learner.
  • 33:25So I think just for today, I would,
  • 33:28I would just love for people just
  • 33:30to feel like we're using goals
  • 33:33and objectives synonymously.
  • 33:37I mean, in other context, goals
  • 33:40tend to be more
  • 33:42all-encompassing and can be broken
  • 33:44down into smaller objectives.
  • 33:47But I agree for this purpose
  • 33:51they could be interchangeable.
  • 33:57Awesome. All right.
  • 34:00Are there any questions to this point?
  • 34:02So you're motivated,
  • 34:03you're motivated to think of that
  • 34:05goals are serving an important purpose.
  • 34:08So why are our learners here
  • 34:12that there's certainly a lot of
  • 34:14stakeholders that are involved,
  • 34:15but you're you're picturing your your
  • 34:18main educational role as a course
  • 34:20director or as a as a clinical supervisor.
  • 34:23And that in that context you can be
  • 34:25thinking about goals for your learners
  • 34:27and that you want to be able to.
  • 34:29You can think about them in a variety of
  • 34:31domains, knowledge, skills and attitudes.
  • 34:33And there's going to be ends and means.
  • 34:35There's timing differences.
  • 34:36We talked about being able
  • 34:38to effectively express them.
  • 34:39So any questions?
  • 34:40I'm just going to have us watch
  • 34:43a 3 minute video as an example
  • 34:45to be thinking about how goals
  • 34:48can arrive during a teaching.
  • 34:50And so as you're watching this video,
  • 34:53I want you to be thinking about if you
  • 34:55were the teacher in that video and you
  • 34:57were watching this medical student present,
  • 35:00what goals would you start
  • 35:01to have for that person?
  • 35:03And think about an end goal,
  • 35:05think about some means goals,
  • 35:07think it.
  • 35:07Would it be an,
  • 35:08would it be a knowledge skill or an attitude?
  • 35:09There's not going to be a right
  • 35:11or wrong question here 'cause
  • 35:12there's a number of goals that
  • 35:14you'll all recognize as as being
  • 35:15potential goals for this learner.
  • 35:17But I just want you to kind
  • 35:18of start to practice how you
  • 35:20would put these things into,
  • 35:23into something that you would then
  • 35:26be needing to think about expressing.
  • 35:28Alright, Can everybody see this video still
  • 35:34looks like a video still.
  • 35:36Yeah, we see it. OK,
  • 35:38So you're going to be pretending
  • 35:39you're this middle attending
  • 35:41physician here and you're watching
  • 35:42this medical student over here.
  • 35:44And I would just take a piece of
  • 35:45paper and I would just jot down
  • 35:47for yourself, like end goal.
  • 35:49You know, 1-2 means goal.
  • 35:51And then maybe like a relevant
  • 35:53statement and kind of thinking
  • 35:55about the verb just so you would
  • 35:57be practicing this in real time,
  • 35:59just two minutes and 26 seconds.
  • 36:04It'll start in a second.
  • 36:08So the patient is a 68 year old
  • 36:11male with a history of coronary
  • 36:13artery disease status post cabbage,
  • 36:16coronary artery bypass graft in 2002,
  • 36:19history of pulmonary embolus and deep
  • 36:21vein thrombosis in 2002 and 2009.
  • 36:24Now presents with nausea,
  • 36:27vomiting for the past few days along
  • 36:29with a Disney on exertion and a oh and a
  • 36:33pulmonary embolus in the right lower lobe.
  • 36:35His most recent story and his
  • 36:38story changes fairly frequently.
  • 36:40He also has multiple Ed visits at our
  • 36:42hospital and also at A at Fairmont.
  • 36:45At Fairmont Hospital for nausea,
  • 36:46vomiting and was also discharged on
  • 36:48the same day at all of those places.
  • 36:51So he was admitted to the holding
  • 36:53unit basically for for IV hydration
  • 36:54and he was also given Ativan there
  • 36:57for for alcohol withdrawal.
  • 36:58He was setting 90% on room air.
  • 37:01His hematocrit was 40 EKG,
  • 37:03didn't show any changes from prior
  • 37:06visits and tropes were negative.
  • 37:08Creatinine was 1.5, Ethanol tox was negative.
  • 37:12However, he became increasingly tacky
  • 37:15overnight and per Doctor Stevens's note,
  • 37:17his CT came back showing the right
  • 37:20lower low PE.
  • 37:21Currently,
  • 37:22the patient was was not on any Coumadin.
  • 37:25This is a little vague.
  • 37:27When I reviewed the history,
  • 37:29it appeared that his pulmonary embolism
  • 37:31occurred during vascular surgery.
  • 37:33Yeah,
  • 37:33it may have occurred following the surgery,
  • 37:36but it just isn't clear right now.
  • 37:38The recent piece we're documented
  • 37:39at the outside hospital records.
  • 37:41We just don't have those records yet.
  • 37:43Moving on to relevant past medical history,
  • 37:48so he has a history of coronary artery
  • 37:52disease and eye surgery and I'm not
  • 37:54really sure which eye or what kind
  • 37:56of surgery it was a hernia repair,
  • 37:59an appendectomy,
  • 38:01which surgery do you think is
  • 38:03the most pertinent?
  • 38:04I think, well, maybe his,
  • 38:06his coronary artery disease is the most,
  • 38:08is the most pertinent here
  • 38:10because that's kind of OK.
  • 38:13But it sounds like he had an aneurysm
  • 38:15repaired and that contributed
  • 38:16to his chest pain. Oh, OK.
  • 38:17And it was at that time that he had his PVCS.
  • 38:20Not sure whether he had a PE
  • 38:23at that time or what. Yeah.
  • 38:26It's.
  • 38:26Yeah,
  • 38:27it's not really clear about that right now.
  • 38:34All right. So just curious that
  • 38:36you can put this in the chat or if
  • 38:39anybody wants to just volunteer a
  • 38:41couple of thoughts that they had,
  • 38:42I would love to have some thoughts
  • 38:45about you're watching that conversation
  • 38:47and a goal comes to you in your head.
  • 38:50So just as it's coming to you,
  • 38:52it helps for you to categorize it.
  • 38:54Is this a knowledge skill or
  • 38:55an attitude goal?
  • 38:55Maybe there's a few that are coming to you.
  • 38:57So you could put down in the chat
  • 38:59some goals that were coming to you for
  • 39:01that learner that was an end goal.
  • 39:04And like if it's a knowledge
  • 39:05or an attitude goal,
  • 39:06you could just kind of start putting
  • 39:08that in there so I can see the range,
  • 39:10the, the video was very triggering.
  • 39:14Yes, you know, and so sometimes,
  • 39:16you know you're in the middle of something,
  • 39:18somebody's presenting to you and you're
  • 39:20like thinking this is a hot mess.
  • 39:21It's like, where do I start?
  • 39:23Like you have to dissect it a little
  • 39:27bit back memories from from medical,
  • 39:31is it?
  • 39:32What back memories from medical school?
  • 39:36So I didn't know anybody want to throw
  • 39:38out a because there's no wrong answer.
  • 39:40There's just like fodder for us to
  • 39:42start with any kind of ends goal that
  • 39:44you would have had for that person
  • 39:48organization good. So that's knowledge,
  • 39:52skill or attitude, would you say?
  • 40:04And then Janie says, you know,
  • 40:06fluidity of presentation.
  • 40:07So sometimes this is really good
  • 40:09for you to be really clear in your
  • 40:12own mind because it could be that
  • 40:14it was organized but not fluid.
  • 40:17So you have to kind of like
  • 40:18what what is it exactly?
  • 40:19Or maybe it's both.
  • 40:21And then you're having to also
  • 40:22prioritize cause see the if you just
  • 40:26say I want you to be better at that,
  • 40:28you can imagine that that doesn't
  • 40:30help the the student have a shared
  • 40:33understanding of when you're
  • 40:34going to assess them on that
  • 40:36what you're really expecting.
  • 40:38I want that to be better. That was bad.
  • 40:41That's so focus on the relevant information.
  • 40:43So. So Ellie, is it.
  • 40:46Ellie, am I saying that right?
  • 40:48Yeah, Yes.
  • 40:49So that could be an an,
  • 40:55an ends goal or a means goal I suppose,
  • 40:58depending on where your your learner is.
  • 41:02So focusing on the relevant information.
  • 41:06So it you know, it could be a a,
  • 41:11a knowledge thing that they don't
  • 41:12know what's relevant or a skill thing
  • 41:14because they left it out because
  • 41:16they weren't systematic in the
  • 41:17way that they're taking a history.
  • 41:19So you know, having a conversation
  • 41:23with them knowledge
  • 41:27list the key risk factors for PE,
  • 41:29rank them in order.
  • 41:31Read the Bates chapter.
  • 41:32So Kofi is starting to list some
  • 41:37you know maybe a knowledge ends goal.
  • 41:40I want you to be able to
  • 41:41list the risk factors for PE.
  • 41:43So he's using list as a verb.
  • 41:47So he doesn't.
  • 41:48He's just saying like not saying
  • 41:49I want you to know PEI want you to
  • 41:51be able to list the causes of PE.
  • 41:53So for a for a these goals you know list,
  • 41:58you know write them all out the
  • 42:00the ones that you know about and
  • 42:01rank them in order of likelihood
  • 42:03and maybe get feedback on that.
  • 42:05Read the debates chapter on soap
  • 42:08note write and that and that
  • 42:10might be kind of separate soap
  • 42:11note writing might be kind of
  • 42:13more of an organizational thing.
  • 42:18Let's see. You have a goal for
  • 42:21the intern as well. Atta. Yeah.
  • 42:24So there's a lot of things that the
  • 42:25attendant could have been watching there.
  • 42:26What you knew you can put down an
  • 42:28ends goal for the intern. Atta.
  • 42:33So the the key thing I'm wanting you to
  • 42:36take away from this is you're watching some,
  • 42:39you might have a goal that came to you
  • 42:41before, maybe that you were going to
  • 42:43teach them about something, et cetera.
  • 42:46But sometimes goals come to you during and
  • 42:48while you were watching that presentation,
  • 42:53you were noticing some things.
  • 42:54So you're trying to be like thinking,
  • 42:55what am I noticing?
  • 42:56Is it was it knowledge,
  • 42:58skill or attitudes? If it's an if,
  • 42:59it's a depending on what it is,
  • 43:02let me try to pick off a few that seem
  • 43:04to be high priority because, you know,
  • 43:06maybe some of those were above like
  • 43:07what shoes he was wearing right there.
  • 43:09You're going to have someones that
  • 43:11maybe have to do with patient safety
  • 43:13and etcetera that are going to be
  • 43:15higher up on your priority list,
  • 43:18thinking about using your verbs
  • 43:20to to refine the knowledge goals
  • 43:22or the skill goals.
  • 43:23So it'd be, it'd be observable and then
  • 43:25to start to brainstorm some things.
  • 43:27Now let's just try one more thing.
  • 43:30Actually,
  • 43:30I'm not going to try one more thing.
  • 43:32This is going to be the second activity
  • 43:33that we do because the second activity,
  • 43:35if you have the first hand
  • 43:37outlet that Linda gave you,
  • 43:39no breakout rooms.
  • 43:40So please, please hang in there.
  • 43:44But because you know,
  • 43:46we only have our 45 minutes together,
  • 43:49if we don't do a little bit of
  • 43:51this skills practice,
  • 43:53then it's really hard for you to
  • 43:55walk away feeling like you're you're
  • 43:57you've got some tangible things
  • 43:59that you remember from the session.
  • 44:01So a means goal for you to get better
  • 44:05and effectively expressing goals is for
  • 44:08you to practice on your worksheet I gave you.
  • 44:11All right.
  • 44:12So this is a means goal.
  • 44:14Why?
  • 44:14This is a relevant statement because
  • 44:17you're going to otherwise walk
  • 44:18away and you're not going to really
  • 44:20feel like you learned anything
  • 44:21unless we have you do an activity.
  • 44:22This is how you cement things.
  • 44:24So if you would take the bottom
  • 44:26part of that worksheet,
  • 44:27which was handed number one
  • 44:29that Linda gave you,
  • 44:30I want we're going to just take
  • 44:32like 3 minutes of silence.
  • 44:34I'll sing in the meantime in the background,
  • 44:36gently,
  • 44:37quietly and you'll see that
  • 44:40it says knowledge,
  • 44:40skill and attitudes on your worksheet.
  • 44:43And even if you've if you're like driving,
  • 44:45you don't have a worksheet or
  • 44:47you or you can't print it out.
  • 44:50Just if you're driving,
  • 44:51not driving and you can just write on
  • 44:53a piece of paper make a make a three
  • 44:55by three table that says knowledge,
  • 44:57skill and attitudes.
  • 44:58Then it has ends.
  • 44:59Goals means goals, relevant statement.
  • 45:02So picture where you usually teach.
  • 45:05Picture like Mike Green is going to
  • 45:07go precept an HIV clinic tomorrow.
  • 45:10Pam
  • 45:12is going to go be associate clerkship
  • 45:14director for the Students in Psychiatry,
  • 45:16and she's going to have to
  • 45:17Orient the clerkship students.
  • 45:18Rob Homer is going to be doing attacks
  • 45:20and defenses wherever it might be.
  • 45:22Like, think, what are my knowledge goal?
  • 45:24What's a skill goal?
  • 45:25Let me practice using a verb.
  • 45:27Let me practice making some means
  • 45:29goals and a relevant statement.
  • 45:31So you're just going to take 5
  • 45:33minutes to fill in your worksheet
  • 45:35a little bit with something that
  • 45:37you really feel is useful for you.
  • 45:40And then we're going to call it at
  • 45:45maybe in in 3 minutes from now
  • 45:50and just have people put some of
  • 45:52the things that they put in there,
  • 45:54'cause we wanna give,
  • 45:55make sure that people are
  • 45:56understanding the concepts correctly.
  • 45:58So just take 3 minutes by yourself,
  • 46:02fill in the worksheet.
  • 46:06Amazing. I'm, I'm kidding.
  • 46:08I'm not really gonna sing.
  • 46:11It'll drive you to distraction
  • 46:14and please ask me some questions
  • 46:17in the chat in the meantime.
  • 46:19You can even write them in the chat
  • 46:21if you want to get feedback on them,
  • 46:23but I want everybody to have
  • 46:24something on their worksheets
  • 46:25when they're done. Here
  • 47:44You want us to put it in the chat
  • 47:47if you would like.
  • 47:55Especially if like you're.
  • 47:56I think a lot of times people can
  • 47:59struggle with attitude and means goals.
  • 48:01You might be observing,
  • 48:05you know, an intern speaking
  • 48:12disrespectfully to a nurse on the
  • 48:15phone and so you have a goal for them.
  • 48:17You think you watch that and you're like,
  • 48:20I would like you to be
  • 48:22respectful and you're like,
  • 48:25good luck with that. Or you know,
  • 48:27I've gotten that feedback before.
  • 48:29You know I don't.
  • 48:30I don't know what you're talking about.
  • 48:32What are some means goals for attitudes.
  • 48:35So if anybody has an attitude,
  • 48:36end goal and you,
  • 48:38we want the group to brainstorm.
  • 48:41Sometimes for attitude means goals,
  • 48:43we need to brainstorm ideas.
  • 48:47What have you found that works?
  • 48:48When you have somebody
  • 48:49who's not patient centered,
  • 48:50what have you found works?
  • 48:52If somebody has a blind spot,
  • 48:55if somebody's disrespectful.
  • 49:02Oh, and did you just do that?
  • 49:07Oh, somebody. Somebody else.
  • 49:09Oh, you're you're back. Yeah.
  • 49:12That looked like it was an
  • 49:13interesting thing to do.
  • 49:20All right. Hopefully you're working on
  • 49:22that and you're feeling like you can use
  • 49:24it as a template to get more explicit.
  • 49:29A lot of us who attend in the hospital,
  • 49:33you do as regularly.
  • 49:35You know, you meet your team.
  • 49:37You know, you kind of have these
  • 49:39things that come up repeatedly.
  • 49:40You might even decide you're
  • 49:41going to print some of these out,
  • 49:43like team expectations.
  • 49:48You know going around and asking
  • 49:50each person for their goals
  • 49:52and as you express your goals,
  • 49:54anybody wanna to to talk about a
  • 49:56a goal that they were struggling
  • 49:58with a means goal or an ends goal.
  • 50:00Before we do our final couple of slides,
  • 50:04I just have an implementation slide and
  • 50:06we have a little final thought slide that
  • 50:11any challenges that you're
  • 50:12struggling with with this,
  • 50:14you want to say something at the
  • 50:17end about following up on goals.
  • 50:20Yeah, I had only the only
  • 50:21thing I had said so far,
  • 50:22but I do have a implementation idea
  • 50:24about that is that it's good to kind
  • 50:27of revisit them because you might
  • 50:29need another relevant statement.
  • 50:30Maybe you've accomplished that goal
  • 50:32and it's time to go to the next one.
  • 50:34But anybody have any goals that they
  • 50:36were finding a hard time coming up
  • 50:38with a means or a relevant statement,
  • 50:40anything that's challenging,
  • 50:44I put one in the chat.
  • 50:45It wasn't particularly challenging,
  • 50:47but I have the and goals
  • 50:50and mean goals. But
  • 50:52where where is that? Oh
  • 50:54I didn't click it.
  • 50:56Now it should be there
  • 50:58conduct shared decision making
  • 51:01encounter regarding statins and HIV.
  • 51:03So is it you think it's a
  • 51:06knowledge or a skill goal? I
  • 51:08think it's a skill goal and or
  • 51:10decision making and then there
  • 51:12were I put some means goals
  • 51:13in there after it.
  • 51:17Yeah. Any feedback for him?
  • 51:23Maybe get had somebody
  • 51:25watch you and get feedback
  • 51:30is the HIV residents are doing a team
  • 51:32Qi project on this
  • 51:38and then if there's you know you have
  • 51:40a means like the relevant statement
  • 51:42is because you know because it
  • 51:44decreases you know CV risk by X amount.
  • 51:48Well I hope you're all not being shy
  • 51:51or anything and that you're feeling
  • 51:53like you this is making sense 'cause
  • 51:56I I really want to Jane. I've got one.
  • 51:58You know if you don't mind.
  • 52:00Yeah I I'm just just motivated for you to
  • 52:02feel like you can implement this Janie.
  • 52:04So OK so mine was a skill goal
  • 52:07and I just put in here. We do this
  • 52:10when the students are on campus, but
  • 52:12successfully obtain blood from venipuncture
  • 52:14is one of our skills.
  • 52:17And so the means goal would be to practice
  • 52:21that, I guess practice
  • 52:22veniplexure. But I'm trying
  • 52:23to come up with a relevant statement. I mean,
  • 52:27so you don't mess up a
  • 52:29patient's arm. I don't know,
  • 52:32because you might be oh,
  • 52:33anybody else? I'm sorry.
  • 52:35I mean, anybody else have a
  • 52:37relevant statement for Janie?
  • 52:38Why they should know how
  • 52:40to do phlebotomy? It's
  • 52:42a an essential skill for medical
  • 52:46students to obtain in order to
  • 52:50become competent physicians.
  • 52:51Gotcha. I like that. Thank you.
  • 52:56All right, I'll just finish this up here.
  • 52:59But I was going to just mention
  • 53:03the idea for implementation.
  • 53:04You know, you, if you're a classroom teacher,
  • 53:06you're obviously thinking
  • 53:07about these ahead of time.
  • 53:08I just implore you.
  • 53:10I just suggest,
  • 53:11you know using your verbs wisely and
  • 53:14explicitly and including relevant
  • 53:15statements to really have them
  • 53:17feel like they're buying in and
  • 53:19engaging because they they're going
  • 53:21to realize why it's important.
  • 53:22And I I have a little example here.
  • 53:25I don't know if you you can't really
  • 53:27see if you see my screen but I have
  • 53:29this little card that I keep and
  • 53:31I've got this little table here is
  • 53:34basically reduplicated down below
  • 53:36or at the beginning I'll try to
  • 53:38really I'll I'll talk about my
  • 53:40goals that are that I I try to do
  • 53:42my best practices as much as I can.
  • 53:44But when I'm asking them for
  • 53:46their goals to kind of track them.
  • 53:48You know,
  • 53:48what did they really want to be able to do?
  • 53:50Why help them use goals the verbs
  • 53:52a little bit and have them be more
  • 53:54smart goals and think about means
  • 53:56goals and if we've completed them.
  • 53:58So I can kind of circle back like
  • 54:00how are you doing on that goal of
  • 54:02being able to identify splunomegaly.
  • 54:04But we haven't had any patients
  • 54:06with big squeines on our patient.
  • 54:08Like let's go over to the hematology floor,
  • 54:10you know,
  • 54:11So revisiting them to see if they
  • 54:13need different means goals, et cetera.
  • 54:18And before we do the take home
  • 54:24points because oh, it's starting.
  • 54:26Oh, the time, the timer's already starting.
  • 54:29But we've been implementing,
  • 54:30getting feedback from you about the
  • 54:32sessions before we give you our takeaways.
  • 54:34So if you can just scan that QR code and
  • 54:39I don't know if there's a link in the
  • 54:41chat that Linda's also going to put,
  • 54:45but we've found we get more
  • 54:48feedback on these sessions.
  • 54:50If you do this now one minute
  • 54:55we have our countdown timer.
  • 55:12The other thing that Linda just put in
  • 55:15the chat is I have a handout for you
  • 55:19that has some a bunch of different ends,
  • 55:21goal kind of domains and
  • 55:23some suggested means, goals,
  • 55:24activities just for you to feel like
  • 55:26you have a menu that you can draw
  • 55:29from when you're running out of ideas
  • 55:31for activities for your learners.
  • 55:36I guess that's time if you're
  • 55:39not done with it.
  • 55:40Don't stop though,
  • 55:41because the only thing I'm just
  • 55:43going to end by saying that I'm
  • 55:47feeling that by the end of this
  • 55:49session you have been convinced
  • 55:51in the relevance of being more
  • 55:54effective in expressing a goal.
  • 55:56And you kind of had the idea between
  • 55:58the difference between ends and goals.
  • 55:59And we could try to stop being all
  • 56:01endsy and all meansy and they really
  • 56:03do well together and that we can
  • 56:05use verbs and relevant statements
  • 56:07and conditions to be more effective
  • 56:10in being able to express goals.
  • 56:12But we don't want to leave
  • 56:13our learners behind.
  • 56:14So they're definitely part
  • 56:15of the the conversation,
  • 56:17but their their goals don't
  • 56:18get to trump your goals.
  • 56:21They can coexist and you can help each other
  • 56:26on making them more effective.
  • 56:29I think that is all I have except just
  • 56:33to highlight the upcoming sessions
  • 56:37here ChatGPT by some Med students which
  • 56:41is so great and APHD collaborator.
  • 56:45And then Andres is going to do a
  • 56:47session for really professional
  • 56:49development on writing abstracts
  • 56:52and the information about all of
  • 56:55our sessions at that that QR code.
  • 57:00Any questions
  • 57:04or comments?
  • 57:11I think the dates for the two
  • 57:13upcoming lectures were mixed up. I
  • 57:15was looking, I was looking
  • 57:17at the same thing. Thank you.
  • 57:20Because I'm presenting on a Friday
  • 57:22and Linda, can you take a look?
  • 57:25It should probably, it's probably
  • 57:26right on the website, right?
  • 57:27Linda, if you think we'll have
  • 57:30to check our website. Ellie,
  • 57:31thank you for being a perspicacious.

  • 57:34correct on the website, they should be.
  • 57:36Let me just check if your goal is
  • 57:39to learn about those two topics.
