Abstract Objective: The presentation aims to demonstrate the utilization of an innovative trial design, incorporating a smaller trial within a larger trial to assess the effects of supplemental, reinforced, risk-based training. Background: Historically there is a lack of research on clinical trial operations. Our approach is rooted in addressing this gap, by exploring the impact …
Abstract Objective: Evaluate 21 current dermatological health mobile device applications. Background: Education plays a vital role in patients’ health care, especially those in rural areas. Smartphone apps provide accessible education to patients, allowing patients to track their condition over time. Mobile health apps can be a resource for managing and tracking dermatological health, as well …

Abstract Objective: To foster professional identity formation within medical education using habit formation techniques. Background and Rationale: As outlined in Linsenmeyers’s1 work, incorporating self reflection increases professional identity formation. By combining these self-reflection strategies with the habit formation techniques discussed by Shnayder-Adams2 we can develop a multitude of professional identity formation habits. Design and Methods: …
Abstract Objective: To design an experiential learning session on decision-making bias, fallacies, and heuristics. Background: Reducing decision-making bias improves patient care.1,2 Teaching decision-making bias, fallacies, and heuristics early in medical education is the first step to reducing mental pitfalls in the healthcare system. There are short-term learning benefits to a cognitive bias session3, but the …

Abstract IntroductionWhile point of care ultrasound (POCUS) education has been demonstrated as a need in pediatric residency programs from a resident and program director perspective, few pediatric residency programs integrate POCUS education into their curricula. MethodsWe designed and implemented a two week-long pediatric elective designed to increase resident confidence in cardiac, lung, and abdominal POCUS …
Introduction Simulation-based education (SBE) is used to teach healthcare providers clinical knowledge, communication skills, crisis resource management, and team dynamics [1–4]. However, SBE may be stressful to participants as it exposes educational gaps and often requires performance in front of peers [5,6]. Stress can enhance learning when perceived as positive and challenging or impair learning …
