- 02:19the sake of time.
- 02:21The other steps will follow
- 02:22after step one. So get
- 02:23that material in. I've I've
- 02:25seen a number of them
- 02:26already, so it's great that
- 02:27people are on top of
- 02:28it.
- 02:30Okay. And I'm gonna
- 02:32pass the baton over to
- 02:33doctor Doolittle, who's gonna talk
- 02:34about the new med piece
- 02:36clinic.
- 02:37Hello, everybody.
- 02:38Good cheer.
- 02:39Good cheer.
- 02:42So here's the scoop,
- 02:44people.
- 02:45There have been some changes
- 02:47in the MedPeds
- 02:48practice.
- 02:50We are now
- 02:51in Fair Haven
- 02:53on three seventy four
- 02:55b
- 02:56Grand Avenue.
- 02:57And that's a picture of
- 02:58the interns outside
- 03:00the front,
- 03:02the front door of the
- 03:03new building. So here's the
- 03:04scoop. There are people in
- 03:06this room
- 03:07who had their continuity clinic
- 03:09in
- 03:11downtown Waterbury, Connecticut.
- 03:13So the program was founded
- 03:15in nineteen ninety
- 03:17eight.
- 03:18And since that time, we
- 03:20were in,
- 03:21Waterbury, Connecticut, connected to Saint
- 03:23Mary's Hospital.
- 03:24Back in the day,
- 03:26there were,
- 03:27the Yale primary care program
- 03:29was based
- 03:30in
- 03:31Waterbury at Saint Mary's Hospital
- 03:33and Waterbury Hospital. So people
- 03:35a lot of people
- 03:37on the faculty got their
- 03:38start there.
- 03:40And so that's a picture
- 03:41of us
- 03:42outside Saint Mary's
- 03:44Hospital,
- 03:46getting a quality award.
- 03:48Since
- 03:49nineteen ninety eight.
- 03:52I know. Well,
- 03:55couple more wrinkles.
- 03:57Anyway and then this place
- 03:58is probably familiar. On on
- 04:00the left there was the
- 04:01founding,
- 04:03storefront of the Fairhaven
- 04:05Community Health Center.
- 04:07It was on Grand Avenue,
- 04:09and it was started by
- 04:10community activists that wanted access
- 04:13to doctors
- 04:14in their community.
- 04:17And then the photo in
- 04:18the middle will be familiar
- 04:19to everyone.
- 04:21One floor is the Cornell
- 04:22Scott internal medicine side, and
- 04:25then the other floor is
- 04:26the
- 04:27pediatric side run by the
- 04:30Fairhaven,
- 04:31community health center. So that
- 04:32happened in in twenty twenty.
- 04:35And then in
- 04:36January
- 04:37of twenty twenty
- 04:40four,
- 04:41Ben Oldfield,
- 04:45an NCSP
- 04:47graduate from this program. He
- 04:49was the chief medical officer.
- 04:51He invited me to have
- 04:52a cup of coffee
- 04:53in the atrium of the
- 04:54hospital. And he said
- 04:56they were thinking of pulling
- 04:58some funds together to build
- 04:59a new building and with
- 05:00the med peds practice
- 05:02be at all interested
- 05:04in in coming down.
- 05:06And so the answer is,
- 05:08of of course, you would
- 05:09because the med pedes gang,
- 05:10the residents,
- 05:12they're Yale residents. They spend
- 05:14eighty percent of their time,
- 05:17at Yale New Haven Hospital,
- 05:18and they were driving up
- 05:19to Waterbury.
- 05:21And so,
- 05:24one breath, we just had
- 05:26this great deep affection and
- 05:27fondness and deep roots
- 05:29in,
- 05:30the city of Waterbury and
- 05:32really loved being there.
- 05:34But
- 05:38there are practicality forces
- 05:40that,
- 05:41led us
- 05:42to see Fairhaven and New
- 05:43Haven as the right place
- 05:45for our gang for our
- 05:45training program.
- 05:47And so
- 05:48the photo on the right
- 05:49is July first,
- 05:52twenty twenty five. They built
- 05:54this building,
- 05:55and it's at three seventy
- 05:57four grand,
- 05:58and it cost,
- 06:00thirty eight million dollars.
- 06:02So that's a picture.
- 06:03That's Doug Olson. He's the
- 06:05chief medical officer now, graduate
- 06:07of the Yale Primary Care
- 06:08program.
- 06:09That's Sue Legard, who is
- 06:10a gastroenterologist,
- 06:13in town, and now she's
- 06:15the CEO.
- 06:16That's Marissa Bond. She's the,
- 06:19the director of public health
- 06:21for the city of New
- 06:22Haven. Put that photo on
- 06:23there is that on the
- 06:24opening day of this building,
- 06:27everybody was there.
- 06:29It it was
- 06:30the mayor was there. All
- 06:31the Young Haven Hospital leadership
- 06:33was there.
- 06:35State,
- 06:36Rosa DeLauro
- 06:37beamed in a video there.
- 06:40Everybody was there. And it
- 06:41was a great
- 06:43experience to to to feel
- 06:45the community support for this
- 06:47good place.
- 06:49So some of you might
- 06:50not know where Fairhaven is,
- 06:51so I'll show you. When
- 06:53you walk in the new
- 06:54building, there's this mural.
- 06:57And so so this was
- 06:59Fairhaven.
- 07:01There's the Fairhaven Community Health
- 07:03Center.
- 07:05This is,
- 07:06Grand Avenue. This is State
- 07:09Street.
- 07:10The New Haven Green is
- 07:11over here, and that means
- 07:13the El Nohim and Hopfills
- 07:14over here. And so Fair
- 07:16Haven is this interesting place
- 07:17because
- 07:19you wouldn't necessarily
- 07:21drive through Fair Haven,
- 07:24on the way to somewhere
- 07:25else, the way you might
- 07:26drive through Dixwell Avenue
- 07:28or El Agresso Boulevard or
- 07:29one of these places. It's
- 07:31a it's its own
- 07:33contained place.
- 07:35So,
- 07:38it's the most diverse neighborhood
- 07:40in New Haven.
- 07:42And so this is, what
- 07:43we got now. So it's
- 07:45this big, beautiful
- 07:47thirty five thousand square foot
- 07:48building.
- 07:49We're on the second floor.
- 07:52It's a med peds practice,
- 07:53so we see adults and
- 07:54kids.
- 07:57And it has all the
- 07:58stuff that you'd want.
- 08:00So labs,
- 08:02a case manager sits there
- 08:03in the pod.
- 08:05There are these
- 08:07diabetes educators,
- 08:09nutritionists.
- 08:10There's this really cool program
- 08:12of food as pharmacy.
- 08:14So there are
- 08:15dietitians, nutritionists who are working
- 08:17with patients and they come
- 08:18in and then they go
- 08:19upstairs and they meet with
- 08:20the nutritionist and then head
- 08:22back down.
- 08:24Behavioral health, Fairhaven owns their
- 08:27own laboratory
- 08:29and or or their, their
- 08:30own pharmacy.
- 08:32And so it's very easy
- 08:33to communicate with the pharmacist
- 08:35around, you know,
- 08:36folks who don't have insurance
- 08:38and how much medications cost
- 08:40and all that.
- 08:42So
- 08:43it's been a great it's
- 08:44been a great move for
- 08:46us.
- 08:47Oh, and we even have
- 08:48a labyrinth.
- 08:52The other cool thing about
- 08:53Fairhaven
- 08:56and so I've been a
- 08:57pastor in the in that
- 08:58community off and on since
- 09:00nineteen ninety one, used to
- 09:01be called
- 09:03Dragon.
- 09:05Dragon.
- 09:05Why?
- 09:06Because they used to have
- 09:08seals,
- 09:09not like a stamp, but
- 09:11like the animal seals would,
- 09:12like, swim up and down
- 09:13the Quinnipiac River. So they
- 09:15called it dragon.
- 09:17Also,
- 09:18it was the oyster capital
- 09:20of the world. And when
- 09:21you get when you go
- 09:22into Fairhaven
- 09:24and you'll see these
- 09:25the brackish
- 09:27tidal
- 09:29river was a perfect place
- 09:31for oysters for generations and
- 09:33generations and generations. So was
- 09:35this
- 09:37many of the homes,
- 09:39these clapboard
- 09:40simple
- 09:41homes, were the homes of
- 09:43the of the oyster cap
- 09:45captains. And so that was,
- 09:46like,
- 09:48how the
- 09:49the village grew.
- 09:51Just down the street from,
- 09:54the community health center,
- 09:56is Crisciulo Park.
- 09:58And this place was notable
- 10:00because this was the home
- 10:01of the twenty ninth regiment
- 10:03of the civil war,
- 10:05which was the first
- 10:07black
- 10:09regiment of Connecticut. The first
- 10:11black regiment in the civil
- 10:12war was up in Massachusetts,
- 10:14of course.
- 10:16But Cresciello Park was the
- 10:18place where the twenty ninth
- 10:20regiment
- 10:21mustered.
- 10:23And, so you can go
- 10:24down there, and they have
- 10:25obelisks. And,
- 10:27it's on the tour that
- 10:29we have the residents go
- 10:30on to learn about this
- 10:31neighborhood. So,
- 10:32folks,
- 10:33that's it.
- 10:35That's our new home.
- 10:37That's where we are. Thanks.
- 10:43Thanks, Ben. Of course, we
- 10:44know you have residents there.
- 10:46Are are students rotating there
- 10:48as well?
- 10:50About that. You and I
- 10:52talked about that.
- 10:56There's a hesitation
- 10:58on the part of the.
- 11:05So
- 11:07yeah. Work in progress. Work
- 11:09in progress. Speaking of Peter,
- 11:11Peter's up next. He's gonna
- 11:12talk to us about the,
- 11:14a position
- 11:15that's about to become available
- 11:17for interested faculty, co director
- 11:19of the primary care psychiatry
- 11:22clerkship. Peter.
- 11:30Meetings.
- 11:32Okay.
- 11:33Just click on it.
- 11:35Okay.
- 11:36Yeah. Keyboard. On the arrow.
- 11:38Just the down arrow. To
- 11:39the right.
- 11:40Here. Yeah. Try that. Go
- 11:42to the right. Yeah. Beautiful.
- 11:44Okay.
- 11:45Greetings, everybody, here and elsewhere.
- 11:47I'm Peter Ellis. I'm the
- 11:49co director of the primary
- 11:50care clerkship.
- 11:52And,
- 11:53with bittersweet news, I've been
- 11:55in this direct position for
- 11:56ten years,
- 11:58and the time is right
- 11:59for new leadership. So I'm
- 12:01here to announce that I
- 12:02will be stepping down in
- 12:03June of twenty twenty six.
- 12:05Coincidentally,
- 12:06the person who developed this
- 12:08clerkship back in nineteen ninety
- 12:10two or three, and, Ben,
- 12:12doctor Doolittle, thank you for
- 12:14setting the tone of history,
- 12:15is here in the room
- 12:16today.
- 12:17So this clerkship was really
- 12:19started and innovated,
- 12:21fantastically by our own doctor
- 12:22Walter Kernan, who's here.
- 12:25So
- 12:26I was still in kindergarten
- 12:27back in nineteen ninety two
- 12:28and,
- 12:29no, not really. But Walter
- 12:30really set the standard as
- 12:32an innovator and,
- 12:33recruiting community faculty. So I'm
- 12:35gonna tell you a little
- 12:36bit about the clerkship briefly
- 12:37and that we have a
- 12:37packed agenda.
- 12:39But what a wonderful tradition
- 12:41Walter started, and, I hope
- 12:43I've tried to live up
- 12:44to that. I think the
- 12:45state of the clerkship is
- 12:46strong.
- 12:47It's in good shape, and
- 12:49it will also benefit from
- 12:50new leadership and innovation. So,
- 12:52I wanted to thank Walter
- 12:54for all his fantastic work,
- 12:55particularly the faculty development,
- 12:57which is a tradition we
- 12:58do every year with dinners
- 12:59and, celebrate our community faculty.
- 13:01So,
- 13:03I'm gonna get to this,
- 13:03but it's a great opportunity
- 13:05for anybody who is interested
- 13:06in,
- 13:07engaging with our faculty, community
- 13:09faculty,
- 13:10who still take care of
- 13:11the majority of the patients
- 13:12in our community.
- 13:14And I do think that
- 13:15having students in the community
- 13:18elevates
- 13:19the quality of practice. I
- 13:20say that speaking personally when
- 13:21I have students makes me
- 13:22on my game,
- 13:24and I think it helps
- 13:25all practices,
- 13:26maybe even Fairhaven
- 13:28if they'll have them. So,
- 13:31this position will be available
- 13:32on July of twenty twenty
- 13:33six, and there'll be an
- 13:34announcement coming out very shortly.
- 13:36Check your emails.
- 13:37We absolutely hope that the
- 13:39next leader will come from
- 13:40our section and maintain that
- 13:42tradition. However, it's open to
- 13:43any,
- 13:45section in the department of
- 13:46medicine.
- 13:48Anybody in the latter faculty
- 13:49is welcome to apply.
- 13:53So
- 13:54so just to quickly review,
- 13:55there are four core clerkships
- 13:57at Yale.
- 13:58And, in the new iteration
- 14:00several years ago, they're defined
- 14:01as follows. Number one is
- 14:02a surgical approach to the
- 14:03patient. These are twelve week
- 14:05clerkships that are mandatory. So
- 14:06students start in January of
- 14:08their second year, about eighteen
- 14:09months in, which is typical
- 14:11of most medical schools now.
- 14:13The medical approach to the
- 14:14patient,
- 14:15well, by the way, Felix
- 14:16Louie is head of the
- 14:16surgical medical. It's Angie Kang.
- 14:18I don't know if Angie's
- 14:19out there. Pediatrics and OB
- 14:20GYN in our clerkship to
- 14:22biopsychosocial
- 14:23approach
- 14:24to the patient.
- 14:25Thank you, by the way,
- 14:26for these slides,
- 14:28very much for putting them
- 14:29together,
- 14:31which is, a combined internal
- 14:33medicine and,
- 14:35in pediatrics.
- 14:37We call that primary care
- 14:38because we don't yet have
- 14:39a department of family medicine
- 14:40at Yale. That may change.
- 14:42And, we we pair it
- 14:43with psychiatry, which we think
- 14:45for many reasons is a
- 14:46is an apt pairing.
- 14:49Job description. Just briefly.
- 14:51The major part of this
- 14:52job is, basically supervising the
- 14:54training of Yale students in
- 14:56the in our community sites
- 14:57and in hospital practices. So
- 15:00big portion of my time
- 15:01is making sure these sites
- 15:02are,
- 15:03functioning well, and I get
- 15:05to do site visits and
- 15:06meet all of these great
- 15:07faculty. So I go to
- 15:08the VA.
- 15:09So who's at the VA?
- 15:10We have,
- 15:12wonderful training. If you were
- 15:13here, I was gonna call
- 15:14you up in name, but
- 15:15maybe I won't.
- 15:16Cornell Scott, for sure, mission
- 15:18driven center, New Haven Primary
- 15:20Care Consortium, where many of
- 15:22us teach
- 15:23with residents, Wednesday evening clinic,
- 15:26of course, Yima, my faculty
- 15:28practice, Bridgeport, Greenwich,
- 15:29fantastic sites. Northeast Medical Group
- 15:32and community based practices are
- 15:33still,
- 15:34probably the bulk of our
- 15:35sites. So we have,
- 15:39maybe twenty sites in total.
- 15:41And,
- 15:42Jen Rockfeld, for any of
- 15:43you, did a fantastic job.
- 15:45So we've recruited these community
- 15:47faculty. Many even been trained
- 15:48with Dana Dunn in the
- 15:50Stanford faculty development model.
- 15:52So they're excellent teachers.
- 15:54And then,
- 15:55anyone wanna travel, you get
- 15:56to go to San Francisco
- 15:57and Tennessee and check out
- 15:59our beloved sites, San Francisco
- 16:01in particular,
- 16:02from two alums of Yale
- 16:03who have, pretty much endowed
- 16:05that place. And we typically
- 16:07send ten or more students
- 16:09every year to San Francisco,
- 16:10and they have a fantastic
- 16:11time there.
- 16:13Faculty recruitment and development is
- 16:15a big part. It's an
- 16:16opportunity to meet our faculty
- 16:17out in the community, as
- 16:18I said. We have teaching
- 16:19awards, which they love.
- 16:21Didactic program remains really important.
- 16:23So many of you teach.
- 16:25I think, Tracy Rabin, if
- 16:26you're out there, thank you
- 16:27for teaching diabetes. Ben Gallagher
- 16:29teaches hypertension.
- 16:31Jorge Moreno, obesity. I do
- 16:32a topic on screening. We
- 16:34have interviewing skills that remain
- 16:35really important in our clerkship,
- 16:38really foundational.
- 16:39So Susan Kashoff, Delia Alcantara,
- 16:42do some interviewing skills in
- 16:43our problem focused workshop, physical
- 16:45exam and orthopedics.
- 16:46Thank you to,
- 16:48Steve Holt and Joe Donrow.
- 16:50Yes. Student grading is important.
- 16:52And then this person will
- 16:54interact with the clerkship director.
- 16:55Should I meet surgery, OB
- 16:56GYN? It's helpful if you
- 16:58ever need letters from other
- 16:59department heads. Why I enjoy
- 17:01being served for director, and
- 17:02I'm gonna end with a
- 17:03couple of pictures.
- 17:04Many reasons. For all of
- 17:05us, we love working with
- 17:07the EL students. They're bright.
- 17:08They're idealistic. I think they
- 17:09keep them on our game.
- 17:11The,
- 17:12in my opinion, this clerkship
- 17:14teaches the foundational skills of
- 17:16doctoring,
- 17:17which is interviewing skills, relationship
- 17:19skills.
- 17:20They don't get it to
- 17:21the same degree, in my
- 17:22opinion, in other clerkships. Why?
- 17:24Because it's longitudinal.
- 17:25They get to see practice
- 17:27practitioners who've been at it
- 17:28for twenty, thirty, forty years,
- 17:31that role modeling.
- 17:33And I think the benefits,
- 17:34as I mentioned, are bidirectional.
- 17:37You get to connect with
- 17:38these community physicians. And
- 17:41when you see how hard
- 17:42they work, you say, wow.
- 17:43Our life isn't so bad
- 17:44here.
- 17:46It's well supported. We have
- 17:48a full time clerkship administrator,
- 17:50and you get to collaborate
- 17:51with some great people. There's
- 17:53a new energy and buzz,
- 17:54I would say, in medical
- 17:55education with, Jess Saluzzi, Jeremy
- 17:57Butler, John Francis,
- 17:59Bill Rando,
- 18:00big focus on pedagogy now.
- 18:03So I'm leadership, of course,
- 18:05is there, Dana, Vinny.
- 18:07And then clinical skills and
- 18:08assessment,
- 18:09this position can certainly, and
- 18:11I encourage this, interact with
- 18:12the first and second year
- 18:14educators,
- 18:15Jaydeep, Michael, and colleagues, Barry
- 18:17Wu. Who's Barry? Thank you.
- 18:21Rachel, Jen Rockfield, Matthew Ellman.
- 18:24And you'll meet other clerkship
- 18:25directors as I alluded to.
- 18:26So just to show a
- 18:27few pictures, this is Yale
- 18:28Health. We have a student
- 18:29every month out there, John
- 18:30Toksoy, if you're listening. Thank
- 18:32you for taking our students.
- 18:34This looks like a Frank
- 18:35Gehry building. Does it not?
- 18:36But I don't think it
- 18:37is. The famous architect who
- 18:39just passed away.
- 18:41The consortium, of course.
- 18:43And this is our final
- 18:44slide just showing a really
- 18:46happy community physician, David Antonetti,
- 18:48who won the teacher of
- 18:49the year award last year,
- 18:50works out at Long Wharf,
- 18:51and is a happy Yale
- 18:52student.
- 18:54So that's
- 18:55that's my announcement. Any questions?
- 18:59No. How much should support
- 19:00GED for this role? There's,
- 19:02currently twenty seven point five,
- 19:05FTE for all clerkship directors
- 19:07that's been standardized. So twenty
- 19:08point two seven five.
- 19:11Yeah.
- 19:12Thank you,
- 19:13Peter, and
- 19:15thank you, Walter, prior to
- 19:17Peter for helping me create
- 19:18this clerkship. It's a wonderful,
- 19:21wonderful,
- 19:22educational experience for our students.
- 19:25Next, Jeremy Schwartz,
- 19:27is representing us on the
- 19:28faculty advisory council. Jeremy.
- 19:31Yep. Take it away. Thanks.
- 19:33Thanks, everybody. So,
- 19:36I've been serving this role
- 19:37now for about two or
- 19:38three months,
- 19:40and I was privileged to,
- 19:42take the torch from Lisa
- 19:44Pugliese, who held that, I
- 19:45think, first two terms, six
- 19:46years.
- 19:47And so my,
- 19:49plan is to,
- 19:52have something called fact feedback.
- 19:54We'll do this three times
- 19:55a year. We'll do it
- 19:56at this section meeting and
- 19:57then follow it up with
- 19:58a little blurb in the
- 20:00newsletter.
- 20:02And,
- 20:04let's just go through this.
- 20:05So what's the fact? Just
- 20:06an overview. And I guess
- 20:08the big picture here for
- 20:09the reason I wanna do
- 20:10this fact feedback is to
- 20:11just increase the transparency and
- 20:12awareness
- 20:13among folks in the section
- 20:14of what's going on at
- 20:15fact, tell give you some
- 20:17some highlights of what the
- 20:18discussions have been over the
- 20:19preceding couple of months,
- 20:21and as we'll get to
- 20:22towards the end, just establish
- 20:23an, a venue or an
- 20:25avenue for, ongoing,
- 20:28communication anonymous communication with me
- 20:30about issues that you wanna
- 20:31bring up. So the purpose
- 20:32of the FAQ is to
- 20:33provide a forum for representatives,
- 20:36which I represent GIM, to
- 20:38bring new ideas and concerns
- 20:39from a broad range of
- 20:40faculty perspectives
- 20:42directly to the dean's office.
- 20:43So we're appointed for from
- 20:45each department for three year
- 20:46terms. You can repeat, as
- 20:47I told you, Lisa did
- 20:48for six years max.
- 20:50And then in addition to
- 20:51those members, there are three
- 20:53representatives for ARS,
- 20:55one rep for Moore,
- 20:57and, one rep from SWIM.
- 21:00And the responsibilities, essentially, we
- 21:02meet twice a month. Every
- 21:03other meeting is just the
- 21:04FACT.
- 21:05Those meetings are not minuted.
- 21:07The meetings with the FAAC
- 21:08plus the dean are minuted,
- 21:10and those minutes are available
- 21:12on the on the FAAC
- 21:12website.
- 21:14So there is that transparency,
- 21:15but,
- 21:16hopefully, we'll increase that with
- 21:18these FAAC feedback sessions. So
- 21:19just to give you a
- 21:20sense of recent
- 21:22goings on within the fact,
- 21:23these actually preceded my,
- 21:25arrival on the, on the
- 21:27council,
- 21:27but there was a conversation
- 21:29about clear guidance on triennial
- 21:31and sabbatical eligibility,
- 21:33revising
- 21:35administrative work workflows
- 21:37around subcontracts and material transfer
- 21:39agreements.
- 21:40There was a meeting that
- 21:41was focused on accountability and
- 21:43data driven insight and oversight
- 21:45of research administration,
- 21:47conversation about institutional implications of
- 21:49part time status,
- 21:51and administrative
- 21:52and responsiveness cross coverage,
- 21:56issues raised by by faculty.
- 21:58So in terms of the
- 22:00past couple of meetings while
- 22:01I've been on the FAQ,
- 22:02so we were joined by
- 22:03doctor McGovern, who's deputy dean
- 22:05of clinical affairs and CEO
- 22:06of of Yale Medicine. So
- 22:07just some highlights from that
- 22:09meeting.
- 22:10We heard about,
- 22:12or talked about this ongoing
- 22:13perception,
- 22:15among faculty
- 22:16that clinical leadership and clinical
- 22:18faculty are brought into the
- 22:20conversation late in the game
- 22:21when it comes to,
- 22:24changes going on within Yale,
- 22:26within Yale New Haven Health
- 22:27System.
- 22:29We heard about some ongoing
- 22:31conversations around how do we
- 22:33as faculty learn about all
- 22:34of the resources available to
- 22:36us. And so,
- 22:37some thoughts coming from,
- 22:39Yale Medicine around the use
- 22:41of chatbots or text messages
- 22:42to direct content to us.
- 22:46Conversation about how do we
- 22:47operate more efficiently in the
- 22:48current climate and the administrative
- 22:50struggles that many of us,
- 22:51face both in research and
- 22:53clinical spaces.
- 22:55Lack
- 22:56of clinical and lab space.
- 22:57We heard about the YSM
- 22:59master space plan,
- 23:01that is evolving.
- 23:03And,
- 23:07doctor McGovern,
- 23:08mentioned,
- 23:09discussions that are ongoing about
- 23:11moving people back toward more
- 23:13in person work.
- 23:15Just last week, Sam Ball,
- 23:17who's deputy dean of academic
- 23:18affairs, joined the FACC,
- 23:20to go over academic tracks,
- 23:23talked about the continuing evolution
- 23:25of the academic clinician track,
- 23:27some concerns that were shared
- 23:29with him at the meeting.
- 23:31One from especially really heavily
- 23:33clinical departments or representatives
- 23:36rep who are who are
- 23:37whose constituents are heavily clinical
- 23:40about lack of effort for
- 23:41academic pursuits that are required
- 23:43for promotion.
- 23:44And I think there's,
- 23:45you know, we many of
- 23:47us in this section might
- 23:48feel that as well.
- 23:50And concerns were shared about
- 23:51a perception that those who
- 23:53were unsuccessful in being promoted
- 23:55by a clinician, educator, scholar
- 23:57are being encouraged to move
- 23:58to academic clinician.
- 24:00Though according to doctor Ball,
- 24:01that actually is a very
- 24:02rare occurrence,
- 24:04in practice.
- 24:06And then towards the end,
- 24:07a brief conversation about the
- 24:09evolution of the r o
- 24:10one as sort of less
- 24:11of a go quote, unquote
- 24:13golden ticket for the clinician
- 24:14scientist
- 24:15track folks. So as I
- 24:17mentioned before, the minutes of
- 24:18these meetings are available on
- 24:19the website, but I'll bring
- 24:20highlights to this venue every
- 24:22couple of months.
- 24:24So,
- 24:25I already mentioned this. We'll
- 24:26do this FAQ feedback here
- 24:28and in the,
- 24:29newsletter. I'd really want this
- 24:30to be bidirectional, so I'll
- 24:32report out to you, but
- 24:33I also need to hear
- 24:34from you to know what
- 24:35is of importance from the
- 24:36section
- 24:37membership to bring to the
- 24:38FAQ.
- 24:40So we can do that
- 24:41here if people want, you
- 24:42know, after I'm done speaking,
- 24:43but probably because of time,
- 24:46I'll turn you to this.
- 24:47So I put together a
- 24:48very brief
- 24:50back feedback survey. It's gonna
- 24:52remain up throughout the academic
- 24:54year. There is a singular
- 24:56open ended text box that
- 24:57says, here is the concern
- 24:58I would like to raise
- 24:59to the FAQ.
- 25:02And I'd love to know
- 25:03if anybody in the room
- 25:04thinks that something is missing,
- 25:05that you'd you'd want something
- 25:06else in this survey.
- 25:08But I'll just say that,
- 25:11the survey can be anonymous
- 25:12if you don't put your
- 25:13name. But if you wanna
- 25:14talk to me about the
- 25:15issue that you're raising, you
- 25:16need to put your name,
- 25:17so that I can reach
- 25:18out to you.
- 25:19Just I'll just pause for
- 25:20a second. Any thoughts about
- 25:23anything else that you would
- 25:24want in a survey like
- 25:25this, or is a single
- 25:26open ended question sufficient?
- 25:28One quick thought Yeah. That
- 25:29that QR code, we can
- 25:32talk to Vivian, put it
- 25:33in every newsletter so it's
- 25:35there. Every month, you'll get
- 25:36a newsletter, and this will
- 25:38be available for you to
- 25:39Totally fine. Yep. I've I
- 25:41I put the the hyperlink
- 25:42in the, content that'll go
- 25:44out in this month's newsletter,
- 25:45but if you wanna do
- 25:46that, I'd I'd welcome it.
- 25:47Yep. Just to make it
- 25:48accessible. Totally. That's great.
- 25:50And I will close with
- 25:52this. You've gotten, I think,
- 25:53two emails from me so
- 25:55far.
- 25:56This is coming out from
- 25:57the fact. I'm just delivering
- 25:58it to my constituents who
- 26:00are who is who are
- 26:01you.
- 26:02This is a faculty led,
- 26:05survey, anonymous survey,
- 26:07around faculty experiences with career
- 26:09development. So if you haven't
- 26:10done it, either look at
- 26:11your email or scan it
- 26:12now. It should take about
- 26:13ten minutes to complete. And
- 26:15with that, I will end.
- 26:18Questions or any questions or
- 26:19comments? Yeah. Yeah.
- 26:21Could you give examples of
- 26:22what are appropriate things to
- 26:23raise through the fact versus
- 26:25should go through other efforts?
- 26:26Yeah. I mean, I would
- 26:28say as as as was
- 26:29said to us at the
- 26:30first meeting, you know, the
- 26:32things the dean wants to
- 26:33hear from faculty are
- 26:35items that are considered actionable,
- 26:37right, not just
- 26:39be a venue for complaints.
- 26:41So if you have things
- 26:42that you think
- 26:44you'd like to see change
- 26:45and have ideas for how
- 26:46those might change,
- 26:48those sorts of issues are
- 26:49welcome.
- 26:51I would you know, I'm
- 26:52just I'm new to the
- 26:53role and still learning about
- 26:54it too. So I think
- 26:55for now, I would say
- 26:57anything goes. I might modify
- 26:59that,
- 27:00a couple months hence, but,
- 27:01you know, I don't want
- 27:02it to be a sound
- 27:03just a venue for
- 27:05spilling,
- 27:07complaints.
- 27:08I want them to be,
- 27:09you know,
- 27:11actionable and and,
- 27:14yeah. I'll stop there. I
- 27:16don't know, Patrick, if you
- 27:16have Well,
- 27:19want someone recognized for some
- 27:22thing they're doing that may
- 27:23not be recognized. You could
- 27:24you could write into this
- 27:26and let
- 27:27Sure.
- 27:28Jeremy know that, hey. Did
- 27:29you are you aware that,
- 27:31you know, Chris
- 27:32that you've done this great
- 27:33thing. That sort of stuff
- 27:34is Yeah. That sort of
- 27:35stuff is it would be
- 27:36fine. I would say, you
- 27:37know, what I'll do over
- 27:38the months
- 27:39you know, the the the
- 27:40months between these fact feedback
- 27:41is just see what comes
- 27:42in. Obviously, not everything that
- 27:44comes in is gonna be
- 27:45raised to the level of
- 27:47the dean, but we'll see
- 27:48what what the
- 27:49themes are, and we'll sort
- 27:51of go from there. But
- 27:52I wanted to at least
- 27:53establish an open communication line
- 27:54and see what people wanna
- 27:56share. So it's great. Jeremy,
- 27:58can I add something there?
- 28:00Yeah. Lisa, please. You're already
- 28:02doing amazing stuff.
- 28:04To the question that was
- 28:05asked, my impression
- 28:07it took me a long
- 28:08time to figure out what
- 28:11actually was appropriate for a
- 28:12fact to do. And it's
- 28:13bigger
- 28:14like, the dean is uninterested,
- 28:17in things that relate to
- 28:18a section. She really wants
- 28:20those things to be managed
- 28:22within a section.
- 28:26Impact people across the school
- 28:27of medicine. So those are
- 28:29things like,
- 28:32parental leave, which was an
- 28:33initiative
- 28:34many years ago now as
- 28:36an example to people, research
- 28:38administration,
- 28:41business office things, you know,
- 28:43kind of bigger, broader stuff
- 28:45than just
- 28:46our personal lives, our section
- 28:48stuff, things like that. Great.
- 28:50Lisa, that's super helpful. Thank
- 28:52you.
- 28:54Alright. Thanks, everybody.
- 28:56So I I wanna thank
- 28:58Lisa for her six years
- 28:59of service, which was tremendous,
- 29:01and Jeremy for taking on
- 29:03this role,
- 29:04for at least three years,
- 29:05perhaps six.
- 29:07The the one thing that
- 29:09Jeremy and Lisa have in
- 29:10common,
- 29:11is they're they're very substantially
- 29:13involved in our three core
- 29:15missions. All both of them
- 29:16are very involved in patient
- 29:18care, very involved in education,
- 29:20and both of them have
- 29:21funded research programs. So they
- 29:23have a
- 29:24they're they're they're uniquely positioned
- 29:26to be able to deal
- 29:27with those three issues in
- 29:27a very even handed way.
- 29:29So,
- 29:30again, thanks to Lisa,
- 29:32and thanks to Jeremy.
- 29:34Okay. Next, we're gonna talk
- 29:36about the Yale education scholar,
- 29:38scholar fellowship.
- 29:40And our presenters are Donna.
- 29:42I think Donna's gonna be
- 29:43online. Is that right? I
- 29:44am. I am in line,
- 29:46and, any banging is the
- 29:48finishing up my sump pump.
- 29:50So
- 29:51Okay. Well,
- 29:53Donna, I hope your sump
- 29:54pump goes well, and take
- 29:55it away.
- 29:56Alright. Well, thanks, everyone. Just,
- 29:59this is the time of
- 30:00year where we're looking for
- 30:02applications for our education scholar
- 30:04faculty development
- 30:06program.
- 30:07So we can go ahead.
- 30:10Do I advance slides? How
- 30:12does that work? I I
- 30:13can advance if you'd like.
- 30:14Okay.
- 30:17So this is a one
- 30:18year faculty development course and
- 30:20educational scholarship,
- 30:21sponsored by the School of
- 30:23Medicine.
- 30:24Some of you might remember
- 30:25we had a predecessor
- 30:27course called ACES, and that
- 30:28was just for our department
- 30:30of medicine that ran for
- 30:31five years.
- 30:33This is the second year
- 30:34where we've
- 30:35brought this into the school
- 30:36of medicine. And, really, the
- 30:38goals are to support personalized
- 30:40educational
- 30:41initiatives of both CES and
- 30:43AC faculty,
- 30:45provide resources to aid folks
- 30:47in the success of their
- 30:49own educational scholarship, and provide
- 30:51mentorship, which we'll talk about
- 30:53in a minute, and career
- 30:54development.
- 30:56You can go ahead.
- 30:58So what we have is
- 30:59a weekly two and a
- 31:01half hour educational,
- 31:03scholarship seminars. We do about
- 31:05thirty during the course of
- 31:06an academic year.
- 31:08What the highlight is is
- 31:10that you get regular mentoring
- 31:12with two mentors, and these
- 31:13mentors could either be within
- 31:15our department or across depart
- 31:17the, different departments depending on
- 31:19what your your project is.
- 31:20And Jackie will talk about
- 31:22hers and her mentors.
- 31:24And then we would ask
- 31:26that you have a half
- 31:27day a week approximately
- 31:28to work on your scholarship
- 31:31project that you're having.
- 31:33So, again, we started this
- 31:34last year in our first
- 31:36cohort with fifteen participants. I'm
- 31:38not gonna read through all
- 31:40the folks that participated,
- 31:41but you can see from
- 31:42our own internal medicine, we
- 31:44had Ben Cherry from our
- 31:45section
- 31:46and from an EMG hospitalist,
- 31:48Yamini Krishnan.
- 31:51And I'll note very small
- 31:53number
- 31:54from our section. Okay, Patrick.
- 31:56Go
- 31:57ahead.
- 31:58This year, we only have
- 32:00five from our department of
- 32:02medicine. It's so sad.
- 32:04Wanted to get some more,
- 32:05and we have Patty,
- 32:07Rose who's from our PA
- 32:09program online and then Jackie
- 32:10who's I said is gonna
- 32:11talk about
- 32:13her her role and what
- 32:14she's been doing.
- 32:16And just so that folks
- 32:18have an idea for that
- 32:19predecessor
- 32:20course, the precursor, the ACES,
- 32:23we had quite a number
- 32:24of people from our section.
- 32:26There was thirty total over
- 32:27the five years through our
- 32:28department, and you can see
- 32:30that a large portion in
- 32:32fact, we were the largest
- 32:33representative section
- 32:35for that program and sending
- 32:37people.
- 32:40So what is it that
- 32:41we actually do? So we
- 32:43have,
- 32:44I think, now over seventeen
- 32:46faculty across and outside of
- 32:48Yale School of Medicine who
- 32:50are experts
- 32:51in their field.
- 32:53And, again, I'm not gonna
- 32:54read through all of the
- 32:56things that we do, but
- 32:57key elements to doing educational
- 33:00scholarship like library research, how
- 33:02do you develop a curriculum?
- 33:04What about the needs assessment?
- 33:06How do you do survey
- 33:07research? Things that were not
- 33:09really taught or taught well
- 33:11or taught at all, qualitative
- 33:12research,
- 33:13focus groups that Abba Black
- 33:16talks with us about,
- 33:18multimedia and technology,
- 33:20EPAs.
- 33:20How do you actually even
- 33:22evaluate your own educational scholarship?
- 33:24So we have we have
- 33:25workshops on statistics.
- 33:27We bring in the IRB
- 33:29to talk about IRB initiatives
- 33:31and how do you do
- 33:32that for educational
- 33:33scholarship.
- 33:34And then how do you
- 33:35go ahead and present these
- 33:37at either in abstracts or
- 33:39in,
- 33:40publication?
- 33:42Okay. Thank you.
- 33:45I wanna spend a minute
- 33:46talking about the mentoring because
- 33:48this is a new model
- 33:49that I developed for this
- 33:51program,
- 33:52and it's structured mentoring for
- 33:54each participant
- 33:55by by two faculty
- 33:57with educational scholarship training. Ideally,
- 34:00I'm matching one senior with
- 34:02one junior mentor.
- 34:04And the idea is to
- 34:05sort of train up, if
- 34:06you will, these junior mentors.
- 34:08And Ben Gallagher, I believe
- 34:10is there. He's serves as
- 34:12one of our our mentors
- 34:13who's gone through, the ACES
- 34:15program. There's quite a few,
- 34:17who've done that and are
- 34:19now mentors, and I'll get
- 34:20to that slide in a
- 34:21minute.
- 34:22But
- 34:23having done this a couple
- 34:24of years now and being
- 34:25in that senior role, I'm
- 34:27learning from everybody. I'm learning
- 34:29from the participant.
- 34:30I'm learning from my colleague
- 34:32who's the sometimes a junior,
- 34:34but might be my peer
- 34:36mentor.
- 34:37And we do some mentor
- 34:39training,
- 34:40as well. Umma Fatak helps
- 34:41me with that from the
- 34:42department of pediatrics talking about
- 34:44how do we think about
- 34:46mentoring,
- 34:48for projects.
- 34:51And,
- 34:53I actually have
- 34:55this number I forgot to
- 34:56change. I have twenty nine
- 34:58faculty mentors this year, and
- 35:00you can see
- 35:02a large portion of them
- 35:04are from our department of
- 35:05medicine and even more,
- 35:07the majority are from our
- 35:08section. And,
- 35:11this is so critically important
- 35:13to have faculty who can
- 35:15mentor
- 35:16either because they're a content
- 35:18expert in the topic area
- 35:20that the person has or
- 35:21because they have a lot
- 35:22of educational scholarship,
- 35:25training. And again, the mentor
- 35:26mentee pairs may not be
- 35:29section specific or department specific.
- 35:31It's really trying to get
- 35:32good
- 35:33mentoring depending on the person's
- 35:35project.
- 35:39It was I'm not gonna
- 35:40go through the total recruitment,
- 35:42but a lot of this
- 35:43is just word of word-of-mouth
- 35:45and word on the street.
- 35:46I I did some snowball
- 35:47technique to try to gather
- 35:50people from different departments
- 35:51who have educational
- 35:53scholarship skills.
- 35:54And if you wanna use
- 35:56this
- 35:56QR code, this will take
- 35:58you to the OAPD
- 36:00website, which hosts that,
- 36:02houses rather the spreadsheet of
- 36:05all the people who are,
- 36:06have educational scholarship skills who'd
- 36:08be willing to mentor folks.
- 36:13I just wanted to give
- 36:14you a sense of what
- 36:15are people doing, and this
- 36:16was projects from last year's
- 36:19cohort, our first cohort.
- 36:22Again, not going to read
- 36:23them all, but there's some
- 36:25fun things out there that
- 36:26people are doing.
- 36:29We have from
- 36:31the section of, hospital medicine
- 36:34direct ED care for interns
- 36:36experience in hospital medicine called
- 36:38Define
- 36:40And so Yamini worked on
- 36:41that, and she's,
- 36:43currently
- 36:44looking at the impact of
- 36:45this novel educational
- 36:47curriculum.
- 36:51So we're in the process
- 36:52right now. Should have received
- 36:54an email from a second
- 36:55reminder this morning
- 36:57for recruiting.
- 36:59The application deadline
- 37:00is January ninth. So if
- 37:02you know of junior faculty
- 37:04or you yourself have something
- 37:06that you thought you wanted
- 37:07to get some more scholarship
- 37:09help in, please
- 37:10apply.
- 37:14And we have Jackie here
- 37:15who's gonna who's currently enrolled
- 37:17in the program and can
- 37:18tell us a little bit
- 37:19about her experience.
- 37:28Had to lower the mic.
- 37:31Yes. So I'm currently,
- 37:32in the educational scholars fellowship.
- 37:35And, you know, I just
- 37:37wanna thank Donna and Patrick,
- 37:39for all the mentorship thus
- 37:40far and support to be
- 37:41a part of this. So,
- 37:43with my project,
- 37:45it's a little bit of
- 37:46a niche. So I think
- 37:47that if you're something that
- 37:48you're thinking about that you're
- 37:49interested in may not you
- 37:50may not feel like might
- 37:52have a broad impact or
- 37:54maybe something very specific that
- 37:56you're interested in, I would
- 37:57encourage you to just reach
- 37:59out to Donna and float
- 38:00the idea out there,
- 38:02and get some feedback on
- 38:03it. So I'm interested,
- 38:06in disaster preparedness and emergency
- 38:08management and trying to build
- 38:09up a knowledge base,
- 38:10within internal medicine for that,
- 38:13which is something that really,
- 38:15isn't touched upon much, but
- 38:17it's something that I personally
- 38:18have a lot of interest
- 38:19in. And so,
- 38:21it was,
- 38:22very well supported,
- 38:24and is currently the focus
- 38:25of my project in in
- 38:27this fellowship.
- 38:29With that, Donna did an
- 38:30excellent job with my pairing.
- 38:32And so I have an
- 38:33emergency medicine physician, Jeremy Renzetti,
- 38:36who also has educational,
- 38:38scholarship,
- 38:39background.
- 38:41And then I also am
- 38:42paired with Rob Fogarty, who
- 38:43actually sits
- 38:45on
- 38:46our,
- 38:47emergency management council,
- 38:49who for the hospital system.
- 38:51And so between those two,
- 38:53I'm not only getting the
- 38:54hospital perspective, but also the
- 38:56emergency medicine perspective as well
- 38:58as the background for the
- 38:59clinical skills.
- 39:01And so all of that
- 39:02has been excellent for my
- 39:03project, but for my own
- 39:04personal growth and professional development,
- 39:07it really helped me reframe
- 39:09how I approach educational scholarship,
- 39:11but I'm only halfway through
- 39:12at this time.
- 39:14And so I'm I can't
- 39:15wait to see what else
- 39:15that we have going on
- 39:16and and what the outcomes
- 39:18are, but everything's very practical
- 39:20based and really focused on
- 39:21having a deliverable,
- 39:23that you can affect change
- 39:25with. And so that's what
- 39:26makes this scholarship
- 39:28and the fellowship really exciting.
- 39:31Any questions for Jackie or
- 39:37Does this program require ten
- 39:38percent support to work on
- 39:40your project?
- 39:43Yeah. I mean, that's a
- 39:44great question.
- 39:46Yes and no.
- 39:49Not additional
- 39:50time, but through the AC
- 39:52track and the CES track,
- 39:54you're supposed to have protected
- 39:56time, and we can get
- 39:57into long deliberations of whether
- 39:59that happens or not. I
- 40:00don't know, Jackie. How are
- 40:01you managing your time?
- 40:04Yeah. Between,
- 40:05Patrick and my, direct departmental
- 40:07clinical leaders, I've I've had
- 40:09protected time, set aside not
- 40:10only for the, scholarship
- 40:12activities, but also to make
- 40:13sure that I have time
- 40:15to get the project done.
- 40:17Yeah. We've we've made it
- 40:18a priority in general medicine
- 40:19to be sure we coordinate
- 40:21with the
- 40:22faculty members in the program
- 40:24and whoever their clinical education
- 40:26leadership is, should that time
- 40:27is protected. I'm not sure
- 40:28how it works in other
- 40:29sections of the departments, but
- 40:30I think we've been reasonably
- 40:32successful at doing that.
- 40:34Patrick has been the
- 40:36strong supporter and the consistent
- 40:39financial supporter of folks who
- 40:41wanna do this. So I
- 40:42really appreciate Patrick's doing that.
- 40:44It's not consistent across
- 40:46sections or departments, but it's
- 40:48critical
- 40:49to get your work done
- 40:51to have that protected time.
- 40:54So with that said, I
- 40:55wanna, again, remind people the
- 40:56January ninth due date
- 40:58for the application. I don't
- 40:59think the application is particularly
- 41:01burdensome, so,
- 41:02I would get to it
- 41:03and try to get in
- 41:04before the holidays would be
- 41:05my suggestion.
- 41:07To me, it's important. I
- 41:08really wanna,
- 41:10see at least one member
- 41:12of our section participate in
- 41:13this program every year. I
- 41:15think the skills it provides,
- 41:17can really help move your
- 41:19careers forward, whether you're academic
- 41:20clinician track or CES track.
- 41:23I I think these skills
- 41:24are really important
- 41:25in this environment. So I
- 41:26really and if we have
- 41:28more than one person from
- 41:29general medicine doing it next
- 41:30year, that's great too. So
- 41:32applications
- 41:33encouraged.
- 41:35Yeah. And and I'll just
- 41:36add that,
- 41:37I've I'm only almost here
- 41:39for two years. And so
- 41:40even if you're a very
- 41:41early faculty member who's just
- 41:43getting started, I wouldn't wait,
- 41:45because this is something that'll
- 41:46be foundational.
- 41:49Okay. Thank you, Don and
- 41:50Jackie. Jackie, quick question. Do
- 41:52you have enough time? Or
- 41:55I think I could use
- 41:56more.
- 41:58So, we're gonna put off
- 42:00the last item on our
- 42:01agenda to the first item
- 42:03on our January meeting agenda
- 42:04because of,
- 42:06time.
- 42:07Thank you all for being
- 42:09here today.
- 42:10And, again,
- 42:12January ninth is the due
- 42:13date on this application.
- 42:15I look forward to seeing
- 42:16as many of you as
- 42:17can make it to the
- 42:18holiday event tomorrow night. The
- 42:20ultrasounds are
- 42:22working hard rehearsing their set
- 42:24list,
- 42:25for the party. So, they'll
- 42:27be there and ready to
- 42:28go. So,
- 42:29thank you all, and enjoy
- 42:31the rest of the day.
