Education Mission

Transcript

• 00:00So welcome everyone.
• 00:01It's a wonderful place and
• 00:03I love seeing all these new
• 00:05faces and some familiar faces.
• 00:07I'm Janet Haffler.
• 00:10As Linda said, I'm talking about
• 00:13the educational mission today.
• 00:15Deena Lucy was not available.
• 00:17I want to go through sort
• 00:18of three areas that Deena,
• 00:19Lucy overseas.
• 00:20Let me just get my
• 00:29so in her role as deputy Dean,
• 00:32she really oversees,
• 00:33as you just saw with the Dean's mission,
• 00:36educating and nurturing the creative leaders
• 00:39in medicine and science and promoting
• 00:41the curiosity and critical inquiry.
• 00:43You'll have so many opportunities
• 00:45to really meet with our students,
• 00:47our residents and our fellows.
• 00:49And in her role, what she does,
• 00:51which is pretty impressive,
• 00:55we have a physician associate program
• 00:57and that's a Facetoface program and
• 01:00a physician assistant online program
• 01:03that they both report to Dena Lucy.
• 01:06We have 247 students and there are
• 01:09many ways that you'll be able to engage
• 01:12and teach in both of those programs.
• 01:15She also oversees our MD and our
• 01:18MDPHD program. We have 415 students.
• 01:22We just proudly are admitting
• 01:25106 students this year.
• 01:26Typically we have 104.
• 01:28So we have a very small class which
• 01:31is intimate. You get to know them.
• 01:32It's very relational.
• 01:34And as was pointed out,
• 01:36there's so many opportunities that
• 01:37they just love to come and talk
• 01:40with you and see what's available.
• 01:42And we'll talk a little bit
• 01:43about the curriculum.
• 01:44But then we also have a very close
• 01:47relationship with the hospital and Steve
• 01:50Hewitt heads our graduate Medical education.
• 01:53We have 1020 residents
• 01:55and we have 418 fellows.
• 01:58And again,
• 01:59these are part of our teaching faculty,
• 02:03All of these opportunities and many of
• 02:06you are doing clinical and research.
• 02:08You'll be engaged with our fellows,
• 02:10our residents, our students.
• 02:12And again, we'll talk about some
• 02:14of the teaching opportunities,
• 02:15and they're extensive and
• 02:18they're just wonderful.
• 02:20So then the Dean mentioned a
• 02:22little bit about the Yale system.
• 02:24And I don't know how many of you
• 02:25have heard about the Yale System.
• 02:27I'm just going to, can you hear me here,
• 02:30I'm going to step out for a moment.
• 02:33Raise your hand.
• 02:33If you've ever heard about the Yale system,
• 02:36OK.
• 02:36Some of you have.
• 02:38So the Yale system has been around for many,
• 02:40many years, and it really is to
• 02:42think about our learners as adults.
• 02:45And again,
• 02:46it's trusting them.
• 02:47It's providing A psychological
• 02:48safety space for them to learn,
• 02:50to ask questions and what's
• 02:52really important about teaching.
• 02:54And I'm going to talk a little bit
• 02:56more later about the Center for
• 02:58Medical Education that I oversee.
• 02:59But it's really whether you're in the lab,
• 03:02the clinic,
• 03:02any space where you have a learner,
• 03:05how do you create that space that
• 03:08they can really perform to their
• 03:10best ability in an independent
• 03:12way and be curious to really
• 03:14be asking questions and learn.
• 03:16Because as you know as you go on,
• 03:19we do our own continuing learning as
• 03:21the Dean had showed in the New Haven
• 03:23health system as one of the pillars.
• 03:25But it really is so important that
• 03:27we start nurturing that early.
• 03:29So we really that's part of the
• 03:31system that has been around for
• 03:33many years and our educational
• 03:35curriculum for our medical students
• 03:37is really built on that.
• 03:42Any questions about the system?
• 03:56so I wanted to point out our MD curriculum.
• 04:00It consists of four years
• 04:02of integrated courses.
• 04:03And again, as the Dean pointed out,
• 04:05we try not to have a siloed curriculum.
• 04:08There are many, many opportunities for
• 04:10you to be teaching in the curriculum,
• 04:12and we'll talk about that.
• 04:13But in year one, they're integrated
• 04:16basic science and clinical courses.
• 04:19We then move in January of year
• 04:222 to our clerkship experience.
• 04:25And again, all through this we have an
• 04:29integrated longitudinal experience.
• 04:32Again, if you're very interested in teaching,
• 04:34we have so many ways to engage you.
• 04:36You can come in and do small pieces
• 04:38of teaching or you can teach in a
• 04:42longitudinal course in a smaller session.
• 04:44We also have physical exams that there are
• 04:47opportunities for you to participate in that.
• 04:50What's quite exciting is
• 04:51that the end of years 3,
• 04:53they're really doing their sub eyes,
• 04:55they're doing electives and
• 04:58they're also doing research.
• 05:00What's very creative about the curriculum?
• 05:02In year four,
• 05:03they really can focus on their research,
• 05:06whether it's in education,
• 05:08whether it's in a clinical
• 05:10department or a bench.
• 05:11They really have the opportunities
• 05:13even in April of year one to submit a
• 05:17proposal so they can do summer research.
• 05:19Again,
• 05:20this is where and the Dean talked
• 05:22about mentoring our students.
• 05:23They love coming to you and just exploring.
• 05:26And I'm often encouraging them to say,
• 05:28oh, well,
• 05:28if you're really interested in psychiatry,
• 05:30just go and talk.
• 05:31Our faculty doors are open or
• 05:33if you really are interested in
• 05:35internal medicine and vascular.
• 05:37Again, our faculty,
• 05:38I have to say and I've looked at many
• 05:41medical schools over the country,
• 05:43our faculty doors are really open
• 05:45and I encourage you to really
• 05:47get to know our students.
• 05:48Most of the departments even
• 05:50have special interest groups
• 05:51where they have a get together,
• 05:53so you get to know the students
• 05:54so you can engage in that,
• 05:56but that's an important part.
• 05:58We also have a fifth year that
• 06:00about half of our students take
• 06:02a fifth year to pursue an indepth
• 06:04thesis and research commitment
• 06:07and they're always looking for
• 06:08wonderful mentors for that.
• 06:12Our physician associate program is a
• 06:15very strong program where it consists
• 06:18of 12 months of a didactic phase.
• 06:20Again, we have many of our medical school
• 06:24faculty teaching in our PA program.
• 06:26Then they move right into the
• 06:27clinical phase and of course,
• 06:29some research is integrated with it.
• 06:32It's been a program that's
• 06:33been around for many years.
• 06:35And Doctor Garino,
• 06:36who has a PhD in education,
• 06:38heads this program.
• 06:39She also heads and this is a newer program
• 06:43and it is the physician assistant.
• 06:45It's an online program where
• 06:47we have physician assistants
• 06:49trained throughout the country.
• 06:51And again,
• 06:51they come and they have a didactic phase.
• 06:54What's interesting here,
• 06:55they come here one time to really do some
• 07:00work and some educational experiences.
• 07:02They have clinicals all over the
• 07:05country and very close supervision with
• 07:08faculty here and part of the program.
• 07:10And then they have a capstone course,
• 07:13the immersions as you can sort
• 07:15of see the little why up here,
• 07:16that's when they come here and
• 07:18they get to know our community,
• 07:20they get to know you,
• 07:21you can participate in the immersions
• 07:23and the program is a very strong
• 07:27clinically oriented program.
• 07:29So I wanted to speak for a few
• 07:31minutes about how you can possibly
• 07:33engage with the students.
• 07:34Of course you can teach in the curriculum
• 07:37and you're welcome to contact myself,
• 07:39Deena, Lucy and Dean Schwartz.
• 07:42You could also be in the
• 07:44medical school curriculum,
• 07:45the MD program or the PA program.
• 07:48We also have opportunities for you
• 07:50to be on the admissions committee
• 07:52and many of you have certainly
• 07:55gone through numerous admissions
• 07:58experiences to get here as medical
• 08:00school and residents and fellows.
• 08:03We have a very strong admissions
• 08:05committee and of course we have the dice,
• 08:07which is the diversity, inclusion,
• 08:09community engagement and equity group.
• 08:12These are all opportunities.
• 08:14And as you think about sitting with,
• 08:16as the Dean pointed out,
• 08:18your fact the faculty identified,
• 08:21you know, what are your goals?
• 08:23What do you hope to do?
• 08:24How do you want to engage with
• 08:26our community here?
• 08:27There's so many opportunities and
• 08:28sometimes when you first start,
• 08:29it's like can be a little
• 08:31overwhelming to say.
• 08:32And that's why you need a mentor.
• 08:34You need someone to help guide you to say
• 08:36what it is that you really want to be doing,
• 08:39whether it's your clinical,
• 08:40your research and scholarship.
• 08:41But then what about the service part and
• 08:43how can you be part of our community?
• 08:45So again,
• 08:47we have Doctor Rohrbach,
• 08:48who's head of our Global Health program,
• 08:51which is phenomenal.
• 08:52We send students all over the world
• 08:54and there's numerous opportunities
• 08:56in Global Health to engage with our
• 08:58students and they're so strong.
• 09:00And you've got research opportunities.
• 09:02And of course we have the office
• 09:04of student Research where your
• 09:05profile could be there to say,
• 09:07Gee, I have an opportunity,
• 09:08I'd love to have a medical
• 09:10student work with me.
• 09:11And then of course we have two clinics,
• 09:13the Haven Free Clinic and the
• 09:15Neighborhood Health Project,
• 09:16where these are studentrun clinics.
• 09:18And again, you can go in and supervise
• 09:20students and work with them.
• 09:21And these are a small
• 09:24selection of opportunities.
• 09:25But as you start thinking about
• 09:26being part of our community here,
• 09:28there are opportunities for you to say,
• 09:30Gee, what it is that you want to
• 09:33do to contribute to the health
• 09:36and wellbeing of all of us.
• 09:38So thinking about how do you engage and
• 09:41enhance your own knowledge and skills?
• 09:43We have this new Center
• 09:45for medical education,
• 09:46which I'm very excited about,
• 09:48where we have a group of teaching and
• 09:51learning professionals and we've moved CME
• 09:53under this Center for Medical Education.
• 09:56And in this group we have a large
• 09:59number of opportunities to enhance
• 10:02your learning as researchers,
• 10:04as faculty, as teachers,
• 10:07as curriculum developers.
• 10:09And I'll talk a little bit more about
• 10:11the centre and how you can engage
• 10:13with our centre at after the break.
• 10:16Our biomedical ethics program
• 10:18is extremely strong and they
• 10:20bring biomedical ethics together
• 10:22and you can attend sessions and
• 10:25hear how we integrate that.
• 10:27And of course, we have humanities,
• 10:29and we have a new It's fairly new.
• 10:32The title's new the Yale Center
• 10:35for Healthcare Simulation.
• 10:36Lee, Doctor Lee Evans heads that.
• 10:38It used to be a bit smaller,
• 10:39and it was just in the emergency
• 10:42department offering it.
• 10:43But many of you are engaging in teaching
• 10:46and research around the use of simulation,
• 10:49and it's a wonderful large center.
• 10:51And if you ever have a free
• 10:53moment to go over and see it,
• 10:55it's just close to Howard Street.
• 10:57And of course the library is
• 10:59a very special place here.
• 11:01The students are actually assigned a
• 11:03personal librarian when they get here.
• 11:05And as faculty in our various departments,
• 11:08every department has a faculty
• 11:10assigned to them.
• 11:11So if you need some help with
• 11:13some research or scholarship,
• 11:15you can go to your personal librarian
• 11:17and say and it's a wonderful use.
• 11:19We also have faculty of staff in
• 11:22the library who will help with
• 11:24instructional videos to create
• 11:26some instructional videos for
• 11:28you to be teaching our students.
• 11:30So the library is extremely rich resource.
• 11:33We also have a librarian who's just
• 11:35assigned to education, Judy Spec.
• 11:37She just works with us.
• 11:38She knows every journal and has
• 11:42published with us in medical education.
• 11:44So again,
• 11:45as you think about the opportunities,
• 11:47these are a few.
• 11:52So I wanted to point out,
• 11:54and this is an extremely important piece,
• 11:57many of you have already completed your CV,
• 11:59part one and two.
• 12:01If you haven't completed Part 2,
• 12:03it's where you really document
• 12:05your Yale activities in leadership,
• 12:07teaching roles, curricula, development.
• 12:10Again, start doing this tonight.
• 12:13Don't delay.
• 12:14Some of you have already been here.
• 12:16I can't stress enough, right, Linda?
• 12:18It's really important and you can
• 12:21really Sometimes when you look back,
• 12:22it's hard to say, oh,
• 12:23I can't remember what I did,
• 12:24so start documenting it.
• 12:26You also need your teaching evaluations,
• 12:29and I really encourage you.
• 12:31If you're not receiving teaching evaluations,
• 12:34come to us.
• 12:35We'll figure out how to get them,
• 12:36whether it's you're teaching residents,
• 12:38you're teaching fellows,
• 12:39you're teaching medical students,
• 12:41Also continuing medical education.
• 12:42You need to be collecting your teaching
• 12:45evaluations and going through them.
• 12:47If you do find that you're trying a
• 12:48new strategy and it's not working well,
• 12:50we're here in the Center for
• 12:52Medical Education to help you
• 12:53out and it's confidential.
• 12:54You can just bring them
• 12:55and we can talk about it,
• 12:56but start making sure you are
• 12:59receiving teaching evaluations
• 13:00because they are needed when
• 13:02your packets for appointment and
• 13:04promotion are being put together.
• 13:06We also have a very special teaching
• 13:10awards at commencement where this
• 13:12is schoolwide faculty are nominated
• 13:14and they're giving it commencement.
• 13:15Of course all your departments
• 13:17often have other awards.
• 13:18But again this is a couple of ways
• 13:21that we're really recognizing the
• 13:23importance of of teaching contributions here.
• 13:27And the last is and I, I,
• 13:28the Dean has really established this,
• 13:30that if there are highlights
• 13:32that you're doing,
• 13:33let your department know so they can
• 13:35be put into news and recognition.
• 13:37If you've done something significant,
• 13:39maybe they might not identify
• 13:41that you've done that.
• 13:42So please,
• 13:43it's a way that we the Dean has
• 13:46this as news and recognition to
• 13:48all of the our Yale community.
• 13:51So as a last slide,
• 13:53we really have an open door policy.
• 13:55Doctor Lucy is always available.
• 13:58Michael Schwartz is our head
• 14:00of our curriculum.
• 14:01He's also available and as the head
• 14:04of the Center for Medical Education,
• 14:07I'm always available.
• 14:08So please feel free to come by, send emails.
• 14:12I'd love to meet with all of you
• 14:15and talk about opportunities,
• 14:17ways that you can mentor our students,
• 14:19ways that you could engage with
• 14:21our community here. So thank you.
