Objectives• Review the breadth of content of clinical skills
courses– Original DOCS survey– Tally of pre-meeting survey
• Brainstorm promising practices and challenges• Identify themes of inquiry to inform future
DOCS surveys & workshops

Course Organization• Curriculum organized by organ system (39%),
Discipline based (31%) Other (30%)• Primary Format didactic (20%), PBL (4%), mix
of PBL and didactic (58%), and other (18%)• Yearly longitudinal (73%), block module with
defined # of weeks (15%), other (12%)• 89% stated PCCS course was integrated with
basic science courses

Results: Learning and Assessment
• 87% have developed and use core competencies• 75% institutions use formal clinical skills
curriculum in clinical years• 89% use OSCE’s in PCCS – 81% in Clerkships
• 88% have clinical skills training lab– 83% use in PCCS– 65% use in Clerkships

Additional topics taught in CS Courses

Oversight of the Clinical Skills Curriculum
![Page 11: Clinical Skills Courses: Review and Reflections about Content across Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816715550346895ddb81c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Brainstorm: Major issues about breadth of content
• Repository for content that does not belong elsewhere delegated to other content experts feels like hodge podge (kitchen sink course)
• MS 1, 2 have competing priorities and CS is a lower often than their science curriculum
• Outcomes – as we integrate, assessing and recall for GQ survey is challenging. Need to educate student about roadmap, “emcee”
![Page 12: Clinical Skills Courses: Review and Reflections about Content across Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816715550346895ddb81c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Brainstorm (cont’d)
• Loss of clinical skills during transition to clerkships 3rd year, hidden curriculum. Needs to be a formality in clerkship
• Academic calendar with test dates for whole year in basic science challenge with not concentrating on the cs skills right before exam
• Silos exist and Course directors decide independently challenge between centralization and autonomy
![Page 13: Clinical Skills Courses: Review and Reflections about Content across Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816715550346895ddb81c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Brainstorm
• How do we meaningfully integrate CS with the sciences, reasoning? From central mgmt, need critical discussions
• How do programs integrate pediatric content in preclerkship?
![Page 14: Clinical Skills Courses: Review and Reflections about Content across Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816715550346895ddb81c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Vote for your top 2 emerging topics for clinical skills courses to discuss in small groups:
• Patient Safety/QI• Population Health (health disparities, prevention)• Systems Based Care• Heath Care Financing• Teamwork/Interprofessional Education• Other: Bootcamps, Disparities,
• Pediatrics….

Small Group Guiding Questions
• What are the pros/cons of a focused vs an expanded course content?
• Are expanded Clinical Skills courses becoming too big?
• Who decides and how do we decide what content belongs in a clinical skills course?
• Discuss your specific topic ( including resources ,assessment, faculty development)• Report out to group
![Page 16: Clinical Skills Courses: Review and Reflections about Content across Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816715550346895ddb81c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Report out – Preclerkship Bootcamps
• Competes with Step 1, time allowed 1 d to 1 week to 1 month for these courses
• Skills: simulation, clinical specialty specific, procedure-based skills. When do you do – clerkships vs during transitions course (ex. Pedi newborn exam, suturing)
• Faculty intense if you push into clerkship but chance to standardize how you teach – ex. Neonatal exam. Receptive if formative rather than summative assessment.
![Page 17: Clinical Skills Courses: Review and Reflections about Content across Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816715550346895ddb81c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Report out: Social determinants of health, behavior change, MI
• Taught within social history, in population health themes , health literacy should be part of the discussion
• Formal discussion of social determinants, health literacy and then integrated into SP encounters
• Get your wheels turning, keep in mind patient realities• Behavioral health, motiv interviewing implementation
discussed and needs for faculty development
![Page 18: Clinical Skills Courses: Review and Reflections about Content across Institutions](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816715550346895ddb81c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Report out: Integration • Curricular models – how to avoid silos, how to move towards
integrated approach as seen in newer schools and renewed curricula• Structure drives function and integration• There needs to be a planned governance / process• Ongoing, in-depth discussions weekly meeting with basic science
and CS faculty• Need funded support to promote these interactions and efforts• Need for central calendar with shared approach on the content
topics • Course directors having full reign over content can lead to challenges• Action item: to share specific curriculum interventions
