A STRUCTURED APPROACH TO TEACHING MEDICAL WRITING TO
RESIDENTS: USING CASE REPORTS AS A TEACHING TOOL
Session Coordinator: Kristi Moore, MD, Internal Medicine ,Carolinas Medical
Center
Additional Faculty: Matt Blackwell, MD, Carolinas Medical Center
Summary: Although written communication skills are important for both physicians in
training and in practice, structured teaching in formal medical writing is often lacking. In
this course, we will explore perceptions of residents’ writing skills and share preliminary
data from our resident surveys. After demonstrating our case report based curricular
method, we will discuss other institutions’ approaches to teaching medical writing. In
addition, attendees will participate in an interactive writing quiz highlighting common
medical writing errors and omissions. Lastly, we will discuss the methods of publication for
case reports and share an interactive web-based journal selection tool.
CLOSED FOR “MAINTENANCE” - MAKING SENSE OF MOC
Session Coordinator: Ryan Kraemer, MD, Department of Medicine, University of
Alabama at Birmingham
Summary: The recent change in Maintenance of Certification requirements has been met
with resistance due to the investment in both time and money. Busy clinical schedules and
competing responsibilities prevent many faculty and general internists from adequately
navigating MOC. Through the brief time spent in this workshop, we hope participants will
leave with tangible ways to incorporate MOC into their daily workflow.
IMPLEMENTING AN X:Y AMBULATORY CLINIC SCHEDULE: REINVENTION
VS STARTING FROM SCRATCH
Session Coordinator: Analia Castiglioni, MD, Internal Medicine ,University of
Central Florida College of Medicine
Additional Faculty: Teresa Bryan, MD, Birmingham VA Medical Center; Matma
Mangal, Orlando VA Medical Center; Erin Snyder, MD, University of Alabama at
Birmingham
Summary: Internal Medicine programs across the country are redesigning resident
continuity clinic schedule to reduce conflicts in residents’ clinical responsibilities and
improve the resident experience in ambulatory care. Residency continuity clinic design is
influences by local program characteristics, culture and resources. This workshop will share
the experience of two Internal Medicine residency programs, an established, large
university program and a brand new smaller university program, as they implemented two
different versions of the X:Y clinic model at their VA-affiliated residency clinic and non-VA
residency clinic. Participants will leave the workshop with ideas and tools to design or re-
design their ambulatory clinic at their institution as well as ideas on how to overcome
common challenges.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PATIENTS: STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING
SOCIAL AND COMMUNITY MEDICINE
Session Coordinator: Bennett Lee, MD, MPH, Department of Internal Medicine,
VCU
Additional Faculty: Nancy Denizard-Thompson, MD, Wake Forest; Krista
Edelman, VCU; Maura George, MD, Emory; Ashley Haddad, MD, UAB
Summary: Social determinants affect the health outcomes of patients and also affect the
care that physicians are able to offer patients.Trainees are frequently called on to care for
the most at-risk populations including the homeless, uninsured, and underserved, yet
frequently have limited education regarding social determinants of health. This session will
define basic concepts and will discuss examples of curricula from four different institutions
that introduce graduate and undergraduate medical trainees to the importance of the
social and physical environments that affect the health of patients.

ABDOMINAL ASSESSMENT USING BEDSIDE ULTRASOUND: AN
INTRODUCTION FOR CLINICIANS
Session Coordinator: Michael Maniaci, MD, Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic in
Florida
Additional Faculty: Julia Mueller, MD, Mayo Clinic in Florida; Cara Prier, Mayo
Clinic in Florida; Leslie Simon, DO, Mayo Clinic in Florida; Jose Valery, Mayo
Clinic in Florida
Summary: A thorough and accurate physical exam is one of the most important tasks a
physician preforms during the clinical assessment of a patient. Bedside ultrasonography is
a rapidly growing practice among internal medicine physicians. This Mayo Clinic workshop
introduces the basics of bedside abdominal ultrasound and provides a hands-on experience
to learn basic abdominal ultrasound maneuvers and common pathology. This majority of
this session will include real abdominal ultrasound of standardized patients by the
workshop participants.
MENTOR-SHIP AND MENTEE-SHIP: HOW TO STEER THE SHIP

Additional Faculty: Analia Castiglioni, MD, University of Central Florida; Cathy
Lazarus, M.D., Tulane University Health Sciences Center; Jason Morris, M.D.,
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Summary: Effective mentoring is one of the most important determinants of success in
academic medicine. A successful mentoring relationship requires that the mentee is an
active participant, taking ownership of the interaction and directing his/her goals. We
designed this workshop to provide trainees and junior faculty with the necessary tools and
strategies to prepare themselves for future mentoring relationships.

TEACHING AND EVALUATING HIGH VALUE PATIENT CARE THROUGH A
NOVEL INTERNAL MEDICINE RESIDENCY MORNING REPORT
CURRICULUM
Session Coordinator: Matt Blackwell, MD, Department of Internal Medicine,
Carolinas Medical Center
Additional Faculty: Kristi Moore, MD, Carolinas Medical Center
Summary: As medical educators, we must train our learners to be appropriate stewards of
finite healthcare resources. Participants will learn how to implement an innovative High
Value Care (HVC) Morning Report curriculum to teach and evaluate their residents’
knowledge and application of cost-conscious care. Attendees will participate in an
interactive case presentation focused on HVC decision making. A HVC scoring tool based
on residents’ clinical decision making will be shared, and each participant will calculate
his/her own HVC score for the case presented. Finally, attendees will learn how to apply
the scoring tool in order to longitudinally evaluate residents’ HVC knowledge and decision
making.

TIME FOR A QUALITY IMPROVEMENT CONSULT - MAKING RESIDENT QI
MEANINGFUL
Session Coordinator: Starr Steinhilber, MD, MPH, Department of Medicine,
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Summary: With the background of drastic health care changes nationally, residency
programs are tasked with preparing residents to practice in an entirely new landscape. The
changing focus from volume to value has prioritized quality and cost reduction within
residencies, and yet most faculty members have little experience or training in these
areas. This workshop aims to familiarize the audience with basic components of a quality
improvement curriculum and available resources as well as give attendees hands-on
experience with a QI project.
CULTIVATING LEADERSHIP
Session Coordinator: Erin Snyder, MD, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Summary: Do you feel unsure of your own leadership skills and leadership potential? This
workshop is aimed at early career faculty, starting to identify a career trajectory. We will
review and troubleshoot common barriers and challenges that young faculty face as they
acquire new leadership roles. Leave with a better idea of your own career goals, and
practical tips to help succeed.

DOES MY PATIENT HAVE CAPACITY?
Session Coordinator: Quratulain Syed, MD, Emory University School of Medicine
Additional Faculty: Umna Ashfaq, MD, University of Florida; Jennifer Cowart,
MD, Baylor College of Medicine
Summary: Clinicians in both outpatient and inpatient medicine settings encounter patients
on a daily basis where they ask themselves, "does my patient have capacity?" and "how
can I ensure my patient is making reasoned decisions?” However, internists receive
minimal training in this area. Our goal is to equip the attendees with the required skill sets
during this workshop to enable them to perform these assessments with much more
confidence.
