Innovative Health Professions Curriculum Design
In this workshop, participants will first explore frameworks for the design and review of health professions curricula. These frameworks will incorporate principles of adult learning, consideration of professionalism, and managing potential “hidden curricula.” Secondly, participants will work in small groups to apply the framework ideas to a specific curriculum project of their choosing.

Promoting Diagnostic Reasoning in Learners: A Framework for Teaching and Feedback
This interactive workshop will introduce a framework for teaching diagnostic reasoning based on script theory. Participants will apply this framework using a series of learner cases ranging from undergraduate, medical student learners to graduate, resident learners, and will leave the session with a concrete approach for analyzing and providing feedback on learners' reasoning skills.

Entrustable Professional Activities: A Framework to Guide Learning and Assessment Across the Continuum of Medical Education
This workshop aims to demonstrate how Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) can serve as an assessment framework to guide learning and to inform competency decisions. Using real assessment data, participants will practice interpreting the data to generate specific learning plans and make EPA-based competency decisions. Participants will leave the workshop with an EPA tool kit that includes sample assessment forms, learning plans and strategies for implementation across the UME/GME continuum.

Coaching for Competency Across the Curriculum
Coaching is increasingly recognized as a powerful approach to to provide professional development and support for learners in medical education. This workshop focuses on the use of positive psychology coaching in medical education. Participants will learn to apply this approach to guide learners in reviewing performance information and creating learning plans, and practice discussing feedback to learners within a coaching relationship.

Can I Really Say That? Feedback and Privilege
Feedback is a fundamental tool of effective teaching and requires skill that, though easily learned, takes a lifetime to master. Giving and receiving feedback across racial, ethnic, gender, LGBT identity and other power differences adds complexity to this process. Faculty competence in fostering a positive learning climate for all remains aspirational due to differences in privilege and powerful social constructs that can be extremely difficult to name and disrupt. Participants will learn to recognize and begin to overcome personal obstacles, including implicit bias and stereotype threat, and practice advanced skills in giving and receiving feedback across differences using their own challenging cases.

Bringing your Exam Questions to Bloom: Writing Effective Open-ended Questions to Test Higher-level Thinking
This practical, hands-on workshop aims to provide participants with guiding principles for the use of open-ended exam questions and opportunity to practice applying those principles in construction of items and rubrics. The workshop contains examples from the UCSF School of Medicine Bridges Curriculum which adopted open-ended questions for all summative exams in the foundational sciences.

Incorporating Character in Your Teaching
While character education is a component of many K-12 and undergraduate educational programs, there is very little reflection on character in medical education. In this workshop, we will explore the meaning of character in medicine and in our clinical learning environments by discussing the definition of character, measurement tools, and experiential data from other educational programs. Participants will reflect on incorporating character into their own teaching opportunities.

Creating a Road Map for Educational Scholarship
Producing educational scholarship is a challenge for many faculty despite personal enthusiasm and desire. This workshop will allow individuals to explore their own habit and strategies to find the ones that help bring a project to completion. With that background, we will explore the use of conceptual frameworks to focus one’s research. Each participant will generate an individualized road map that addresses personal needs and habits to guide completion of a project.

Developing Your Identity as an Educator
Faculty development usually focuses on skill development. Yet, one of the greatest struggle is addressing the tension between one’s role as a clinician and/or scientist and that as an educator. In this workshop, we will explore how identity develops and consider what elements of yourself, role and the context in which you work can be shaped to develop and sustain your educator identity.

Confronting & Mitigating Bias in the Learning Environment
This workshop will review interpersonal and structural biases, and how these biases may show up in the clinical learning environment. Through a combination of didactics and small group discussion, we will reflect upon ways in which biases can detract from the learning environment, and discuss steps we can take to mitigate the impact of biases.

Making Measures Matter: Assessing Learning Environments in Medical Education
Learning environments need to support the ongoing development of competent and caring physicians. Many instruments exist to assess the qualities of different learning environments and provide feedback for monitoring and improvement. In this workshop, participants will explore quantitative and qualitative data that can be collected to inform assessment of learning environments, review existing instruments, and share best practices for implementing a learning environment assessment plan.

Understanding Knowledge Gaps as a Driver of Master Adaptive Learning: Encouraging and Guiding the Process
Given the ever increasing knowledge base and the complexity of health care today, trainees and practicing physicians must truly become master adaptive learners who are able to sense gaps in their own knowledge and actively engage in learning to address these gaps. Building on the emerging Master Adaptive Learner conceptual model, participants will consider ways to coach and facilitate trainee participation in meaningful self-regulated learning. Consideration for assessing a learner’s individual beliefs and preferences will be paired with strategy selection to maximize individual learning. Workshop participants will leave with an action plan for potential strategy implementation upon return to their home institutions.
