Podcasts about clerkship directors

Presented by Karen Hauer, PhD; University of California, San Francisco STFM Conference on Medical Student Education 2025 Scott Fields Lecture | Saturday, February 1 2025Bias in assessment of medical learners presents a critical, ongoing challenge to the quality of medical education. Experiences of bias may manifest in access to learning opportunities as well as in quantitative ratings and qualitative comments describing performance. This bias interferes with learners' developmental progress through training and has consequences for their future careers and the patients they may serve. Solutions to address bias are needed for individual faculty and leaders designing and implementing education systems. This session will review the literature on the causes and consequences of bias in assessment of learner performance in medical education. Dr Karen Hauer will discuss recommendations to avoid bias in assessment drawn from the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation Conference on Ensuring Fairness in Medical Education Assessment: Conference Recommendations Report. The speaker will share resources for implementing recommendations and using them in faculty development.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Identify causes and consequences of bias in assessment of clinical learnersApply recommendations to avoid bias in assessment Describe the design and implementation of an equitable assessment systemCopyright © Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, 2025Karen Hauer, PhD: Dr Hauer is vice dean for Education and Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

All of us want to become leaders, but is it possible to flex the muscle of leadership during our training period? Today, Dr. Thomas De Fer shares how everyday, all of us, regardless of our seniority are put in positions of leadership, from being a fourth year medical student teaching other students to a senior resident on an inpatient team with interns and medical students. What do we need to practice to become great leaders? Two things. Clarity of requests and stating the conditions of satisfaction. Tune in to learn Leadership 101 with Dr. De Fer. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. A good internist isn't just a great communicator, but rather someone who can mold their communication to suit the patient in their current situation. Being upfront and honest with patients builds strong, therapeutic relationships with them. 2. Leadership isn't just at the macro level. It can also be subtle. There are small leadership opportunities where residents can flex those muscles: practice clarity of requests and stating conditions of satisfaction. 3. The critical ingredient that a mentor is looking for in a mentee is engagement:  mentors don't carry the weight of engagement. That's the mentee's job.
