Conflict of Interest
Objectives• Identify the challenges and obstacles to
assessing these milestones• Create a more effective educational program
to effectively teach these milestones • Develop assessment tools to appropriately
evaluate residents in these milestones• Understand how to navigate the EM
milestones wiki site
The Problem . . .
A simple but less defined assessment tool . . . . . .
. . . are now expanded into 23 sub- competencies!!!
Most faculty are convinced that the RRC-EM Milestones are a solution
for which there is no known problem.
-anonymous
Developing a roadmap . . .
• 15-question survey, validated by 7 former PDs • Sent to CORDEM listserver in the Fall of 2013 • 62% (99/160) of EM residency programs responded • IRB approved study
Difficult Milestones Survey
Objectives (revised)
Begin with the end in mind . . .
Sub-competency 20: Problem Based Learning and Improvement (PBLI)
Sub-competency 20 (PBLI): Participates in performance improvement to optimize ED function, self-learning, and patient care.
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4Describes basic principles of evidence-based medicine
Performs patient follow-up
Performs self-assessment to identify areas for continued self-improvement and implements learning plans Continually assesses performance by evaluating feedback and assessment Demonstrates the ability to critically appraise scientific literature and apply evidence-based medicine to improve one’s individual performance
Applies performance improvement methodologies Demonstrates evidence-based clinical practice and information retrieval mastery Participates in a process improvement plan to optimize ED practice
• 98/157 CORD attendees surveyed• 71% do not use formal critical appraisal instrument• 75% do not have established EBM curriculum • 78% do not use any extramural sources (ACP, Best
Evidence, EM Abstracts, or Annals of EM)

Flipped Classroom: Teaching and Learning More Efficiently
• Need to be information managers, not encyclopedias of knowledge.
• Need to be life long learners… to ask questions and go out and find answers for themselves.
• Need to search and filter vast quantities of information on the internet - “Free Open Access MedEd”(FOAMed) by way of blogs, podcasts, and videos, apps and mobile websites
Flipped Classroom Example
• One hour of ‘individualized learning’ at home• Provide a clinical scenario and 3-5 questions
for residents to answer in advance• Provide some electronic resources • Interactive discussion in classroom• Evaluate residents by written submission of
their findings or conference participation
Fresno Test• 2 clinical scenarios with open ended questions• Must complete 4 key steps of EBM practice • 7 short answer questions, 2 mathematical
calculations, and three fill-in-the-blank questions• The only validated, standardized, and objective
measure of EBM competence currently available• 30 minute test• 13 page rubric
Fresno Test
Knowledge Translation Shift
• Residents and an EBM faculty leader spend one shift per month in the ED answering EBM queries for all of the residents/faculty seeing patients.
