Highly recommend this course. It transformed my approach to thinking and learning. As it says in the title, it opens minds and hearts. #vtsforhealthcare #ehr #ux

I’m very committed to continuing medical education. Each quarter, I present a workshop for our entire staff and provider community. We shut down our office for half a day and learn together through mock drills, review of standardized processes, and discussions around optimizing the patient experience and improving patient outcomes. This August, our team will come together to share patient histories and learn best practices. These workshops support our mission: to deliver accessible, equitable, comprehensive, and safe preventive care and chronic disease management for our Northwest Indiana community. Last weekend, I also took time to invest in my own continuing medical education by attending the Cleveland Clinic’s 36th Annual Intensive Review of Internal Medicine. During the conference,my determination was to find ways for our provider community to consistently adopt guideline-directed medical therapies for multiple chronic disease management that would control the cost of care by eliminating redundancies and waste, reducing harm to patients and enhancing clinical outcomes. We also are committed to the Choosing Wisely campaign, an initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) to promote conversations between clinicians and patients to facilitate the above models of care: https://lnkd.in/gZPpbAwM “Choosing Wisely calls upon leading medical specialty societies and other organizations to identify tests or procedures commonly used in their field whose necessity should be questioned and discussed with patients,” according to the ABIM. How is your #primarycare practice leveraging continuing medical education to support dynamic change? #ptexp #healthcare #cme #valuebasedcare #chronicdisease #populationhealth Dr. Mary Tilak & Associates

The Annual Medical School Graduate Survey is underway! A big shoutout to Emory University School of Medicine, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Mercer University School of Medicine, Morehouse School of Medicine, and PCOM Georgia for their support in administering the Medical School Graduate (MSG) Survey! Annually, the GBHCW diligently collects and analyzes responses provided by medical schools to publish a report delving into insights into medical education in Georgia. The MSG Survey is read by policymakers, medical school administrators, graduate medical education administrators, and various government and non-government agencies interested in Georgia’s medical school pipeline. Once the survey concludes on May 31st, we'll analyze the responses to provide a comprehensive overview of medical education in Georgia. The results will then be announced and posted on our website later in the year, so stay tuned for updates! Check out our survey results from previous years here: https://lnkd.in/evg3GEv3 #Georgia #Medical #MedicalSchool #Healthcare #Data #MedicalEducation #Physicians

As a Graduate Medical Education (GME) Program Coordinator, identifying and engaging with stakeholders is crucial for the success of the residency programs. The primary stakeholders include the hospital administration, faculty, residents, medical students, and external accrediting bodies. Each group plays a vital role in the program’s functioning and success. Hospital administrators ensure the provision of necessary resources and support for the GME programs. Faculty members are essential for providing education and mentorship to the residents, while the residents and medical students are directly impacted by the program’s quality and effectiveness. Additionally, external accrediting bodies ensure that the program meets national standards and guidelines, maintaining the program’s credibility and reputation. #gme #programcoordintor #stakeholder

The Graduate Medical Education Advocacy Coalition (GMEAC), including SVS and nearly 50 other medical societies, responded to the Bipartisan Medicare Graduate Medical Education (GME) Working Group’s Draft Proposal Outline and Questions for Consideration. While numerous policy solutions are needed to sustain and bolster the physician workforce, increased Medicare support for GME is a key component to stabilizing the workforce expansion. With demand for physicians continuing to outpace supply as both the patient population and physician workforce age – it is critical now more than ever that Congress build on recent bipartisan efforts and invest in training more physicians.

The article from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) discusses how medical students can add value to medical practices through effective precepting. Physician assistant students can add value in the same way. It highlights seven strategies to involve students meaningfully: 1. Patient Care Opportunities: Engage students in clinical tasks rather than non-essential duties. 2. Shared Teaching Responsibilities: Involve the entire care team in student education. 3. Workflow Integration: Adjust workflows to allow students to contribute before, during, and after patient visits. 4. Panel Management: Assign students a panel of patients to follow throughout their rotations. 5. Community Health Involvement: Encourage students to participate in local health initiatives. 6. Quality Improvement Activities: Let students lead or participate in quality improvement projects. 7. Longer Teaching Relationships: Advocate for extended student placements to foster deeper integration and learning. These approaches aim to enhance patient care, improve student learning, and demonstrate the importance of team-based care [1]. If you are interested in precepting for Baylor University, please email the Director of Clinical Education at MPASClinEd@baylor.edu for more information on how you can add value through effective precepting starting in the Fall of 2026.
