Between 2010 – 2013 there was 2054 individuals within the CHZ who had S. aureus bacteriuria (SABU) detected, of which 175 (6.9%) were found to have SAB. SAB is associated with a 25% mortality rate within the CHZ. Diagnosis of SAB requires the collection of blood cultures. Unfortunately, only 42.2% of hospitalized and emergency room patients with SABU detected had blood cultures drawn. Although certain factors can increase one’s risk of having SAB when SABU is detected, not one single factor or combination of factors is sufficient to exclude a diagnosis of SAB. As part of our study, we have advocated for Calgary Laboratory services to include a written comment stating “S. aureus bacteriuria may be associated with severe systemic disease such as bacteremia- Clinical correlation is advised,” on all urine culture reports reporting S. aureus. We wish to determine whether the insertion of this comment will change front-line physician behavior and increase the proportion of blood cultures drawn on SABU patients. We have a 6-question survey we would be keen on having family medicine physicians participate in. It will take approximately 1 minute to complete. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XCMTLH9 ********************************************** ALL RESIDENTS: SOUTH HEALTH CAMPUS HOSPITALIST SERVICE – SUMMER LOCUM POSITIONS FOR 2019 The South Health Campus (SHC) hospitalist group is looking for Summer locums between July-September 2019. Full-time and part-time positions will be available. If you are interested please email a current CVs and a letter of interest to the SHC site leader Dr Kobus Stassen ([email protected]) by the 22nd Feb. ********************************************** ALL RESIDENTS: RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE UME CLERKSHIP COMMITTEE UME is looking for a resident volunteer to sit on its Clerkship Committee. There are 8 to 10 meetings per year on Tuesdays from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. (Joining via teleconference is possible.)

  • Wellness Avengers 2.0 – End-Year Wellness Retreat: Join the Team! Goal: To plan and deliver the 1st annual End-Year Wellness Retreat dedicated to developing and optimizing resident and early-in-practice physician skills and strategies for wellness and thriving in practice. Our team believes these skills and strategies would be best achieved in a retreat setting through facilitating opportunities for experiential learning; connection to university medical, health and wellness resources; live/socially-accountable goal setting; and relationship building within and amongst residents, new-to-practice physicians and preceptors.

    Wellness Avengers 2.0 Team Description: The Wellness Avengers are a team of University of Calgary Family Medicine (Calgary) residents who have an interest in wellness. Last year, our mission was to revamp the Wellness

    BASICS Curriculum. This year, a new team will assemble into a time-limited, low-commitment working group, from

    February 15th (Block 9 Week 1) to June 21st, 2019 (Block 13 Week 3) to create the 1st annual End-Year Wellness Retreat!

    End-Residency Wellness Retreat – Big Picture Ideas:

    • Proposed Retreat Dates: Thursday Post-CFPC/LMCC Spring Examinations excluding May 16th Spring Conference. • Resident Attendees: All R1s and R2s in Calgary Program; consider Rural, Enhanced Skills residents (stretch goal).

    Inviting R1s and R2s optimizes opportunities for shared experiences, alternate viewpoints, and mentorship.

    • Faculty Attendees: New-to-practice physicians, preceptors interested in modeling wellness in independent practice. • Resource Attendees: Consider inviting Resources for Students in Distress as detailed in Wellness BASICS Curriculum

    (e.g. PFSP, PGME Wellness Office, Ombudsperson, etc.) to be present at the Retreat.

    • Possible Retreat Format: Either half-day or full-day conference, depending on logistics and group consensus. • Possible Retreat Locations: Depending on funding secured, could range from Health Sciences Centre Classrooms in

    Small Groups to an “Alberta Focused” Location showcasing the Calgary Region (stretch goal: on a SHIELD Helicarrier)

    • Possible Retreat Content: o Presentation from PGME Wellness Office – focusing on Individual Resiliency Skills o A Near-Peer and Faculty Wellness Café – including discussing Wellness SMART Goal Setting, mentorship, Q&A, etc. o Interactive Workshop on Thriving in Practice Skills Development –Gratitude Exercises, Narrative Medicine, etc. o Note: Our core work will be to collaborate on a shared vision for the End-Year Wellness Retreat – please bring your

    awesome ideas and passion to the group to make it the best retreat we can!

    Timeline for Wellness Avengers 2.0 Team:

    Block Objectives

    9 • Avengers Assemble: Group forms and makes initial connections – by February 15th • Initial Brainstorming Meeting: Help create a shared vision of our End-Residency Wellness Retreat! This

    includes brainstorming sessions requiring Guest Speakers, reaching consensus on roles/responsibilities.

Part of this work will include creation of a brief “Ad” to help members ask sponsors in an organized, consistent way.

    10 • Finalizing Funding: Finalizing budget based on funding secured (location, food, speaker honorariums) • Approaching Speakers, Faculty Attendees: Reach out to guest speakers, recent grads, preceptors, etc.

  • Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology Pearl of the Week DRESS: Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms

    DRESS is a severe hypersensitivity reaction to a medication and/or its metabolites. It can occur anywhere from 2-6 weeks following drug exposure. Mortality is 10-15% in those affected. It is thought to arise from:

    • host genetic predisposition • immune activation by culprit drugs • alterations in drug metabolism • drug-induced viral reactivation (HHV-6)

    The most common drugs include: • Antiepileptics: carbamazepine, phenytoin, lamotrigine • Antibiotics: trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, minocycline, dapsone • Other: allopurinol, abacavir, sulfasalazine

    Most common initial sign is a morbilliform or maculopapular “measles-like” rash (image 1) Hematologic, hepatic, renal, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, gastrointestinal and endocrine

    systems can be affected. The diagnosis is clinical, using one of three scoring systems: RegiSCAR, Boquet or J-SCAR Differential diagnosis includes:

    • Other drug-related reactions: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis, Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis and Hypereosinophilic

    • Viral infections: Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus • Rheumatologic: Adult-onset Stills Disease • Graft-Versus-Host disease.

    Treatment involves stopping the culprit drug, supportive measures, symptom control and initiation of corticosteroids for severe disease with organ involvement.

    Patients should be monitored for the complication of hypothyroidism for up to two years following diagnosis of DRESS.

    The Calgary Clinical Pharmacology physician consultation service is available Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm. The on-call physician is listed in ROCA. Click HERE for clinical issues the CP service can assist with.

    The Poison and Drug Information Service (PADIS) is available 24/7 for questions related to poisonings. Please call 1-800-332-1414, and select option 1.

  • HEALTH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM 2019

    Health and Medical Education Scholarship Symposium 2019 3

    SYMPOSIUM LEARNING OBJECTIVES Appraise the dissemination of current health and medical education research at the University of Calgary. Discuss health and medical education research with faculty, students and health care professionals. Demonstrate the approaches faculty, students and health care professionals can take in building a profile in educational scholarship and the support afforded them by OHMES and other groups. Explain to peers good practices in health and medical education research. KEYNOTE ADDRESSES Realizing the Promise of Competency-Based Medical Education Using Milestones Data in Postgraduate Medical Education Stan Hamstra, PhD, Vice President – Milestone Research & Evaluation, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education

    To many clinician educators, PGME Deans and faculty, it feels like CBME has been thrust upon us for no obvious reason. We are left to try and figure out exactly what the mandate is, and how to implement it without any additional resources or support. Yet there is an historical context for this massive change, and good reasons why we needed to change the way we were educating future physicians. This presentation will focus on implementation challenges, as well as strategies and tools for success. Examples of large-scale datasets from the accreditation system for graduate medical education in the US will be used to illustrate how competency data for individual residents can inform changes at the national level. Appropriate contextual comparisons to the Canadian context and the mandate of the Royal College will be made. By the end of this plenary participants will be able to: Describe the historical context and rationale for Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) Describe the current challenges to implementation of CBME at the local level Discuss the value of using large-scale datasets for improving PGME for learners, faculty, and patients

    Competence or Excellence? Pedantics, pendulums, pedagogy, and the essential role of medical education research Shelley Ross, PhD, Associate Professor and Director of Research & Innovation for the Competency-Based Achievement System, University of Alberta There is a history in education of jumping on bandwagons and following trends, with the result that there are often sudden paradigm shifts that appear to come out of nowhere. Suddenly, everyone is adapting or adopting curricula or assessment or policy (and sometimes all three) to align with the latest approach. Just as suddenly, there is often pushback (sometimes valid, sometimes not), and a new trend replaces the old one. Medical education is no exception. Since the Flexner report, there have been a series of big new ideas in how we should be training our medical students and residents. Problem-based learning, portfolios, and now competency-based medical education are just some recent examples of ideas that have been introduced and embraced, then critiqued and (potentially) abandoned. Medical education research has an essential role to play in breaking this cycle, and ensuring that good evidence-based ideas and innovations gain traction. Specific examples of how medical education research can be a driver for rigour, reality, and excellence in the training of future health professionals will be presented and debated. By the end of this plenary, participants will be able to: Describe how and why education often experiences cycles of trends and pendulum shifts Critique the pros and cons of at least one example of a recent trend in medical education Evaluate the ways in which medical education research can play a role in ensuring that best practices are

    adopted for health professions training

  • HEALTH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM 2019

    Health and Medical Education Scholarship Symposium 2019 4

    Medical Student Mistreatment Kevin O’Brien, MD, FACP, Associate Professor, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida Medical student mistreatment is a real and common problem at medical institutions across the globe. Mistreatment occurs in both high-income and low-income nations. The consequences of mistreatment are not trivial. Sadly, mistreatment continues into residency training and beyond, even involving faculty physicians at teaching institutions. Despite increased awareness of mistreatment, data from the literature have demonstrated that the incidence/prevalence has remained constant since the 1990’s. We will be discussing a multi-institutional study that is taking a proactive response to this prominent phenomenon in the hidden curriculum. By the end of this plenary, participants will be able to: Define what is medical student mistreatment Discuss the prevalence of medical student mistreatment Discuss the consequences of medical student mistreatment Interpret and assess the severity of mistreatment using vignette scenarios (as compared to a national data set) Propose action plans on how to deal with a potential student mistreatment scenario (as compared to a national

    data set) WORKSHOPS Getting into the Weeds of CBME: Tools for Implementation and Improvement Stan Hamstra, PhD, Vice President – Milestone Research & Evaluation, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Sometimes program directors and faculty are faced with genuine uncertainty about one of their residents, and have difficulty making the right decision for promotion or graduation. In this workshop, we will demonstrate how the quality of data for making decisions about learners depends on how well faculty educators understand and believe in the assessment process and the tools they use to rate learners’ competence. This workshop will help participants identify struggling residents earlier, and demonstrate models of highly usable and valid assessment tools. We will use examples that tie program-level data in with national-level data to help faculty make better decisions about individual learners, and for program-level educational quality improvement.

    By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: Describe the characteristics of valid and usable assessment tools Describe how national-level data can be used to help make decisions about individual learners Discuss entrustment scales and how they contribute to more valid assessment data

    If it’s all about the learners, why aren’t they involved in the research? The perils, pitfalls, and rewards of involving end users in medical education research Shelley Ross, PhD, Associate Professor and Director of Research & Innovation for the Competency-Based Achievement System, University of Alberta Great research happens regularly in medical education. The findings from those projects are shared in various ways with the intention of ensuring that best practices can be incorporated or continued across the training continuum. Rarely, however, are learners, preceptors, or directors of education programs actually involved in the research beyond acting as participants. In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to debate the merits of involving end users and stakeholders in research at all stages, as well as the challenges of doing so. By the end of this workshop participants will be able to: Describe the importance of including end users in research projects List ways in which stakeholders and users of medical education research findings can be involved in research

    projects Identify at least one approach to involving users in research that can be applied in your research program

    Health and Medical Education Scholarship Symposium 2019 5

    Getting the most out of the faculty evaluation process: Pearls, pitfalls, and situated feedback in a group setting Kevin O’Brien, MD, FACP, Associate Professor, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

    Describe a formal process to help faculty better understand the evaluation schema Describe a common platform by which students’ skills can be assessed by faculty Describe a method of helping faculty construct an informative narrative Understand their own strengths and weaknesses as evaluators and teachers

    Designing Educational Escape Games Anthony Seto, BHSc(Hons) MD CCFP(EM), University of Calgary In the entertainment industry, escape games are activities where a group of people are placed in a room. They are tasked with completing a series of puzzles until they ultimately find a way to escape this room, under a pre-determined time limit. This type of game can be adapted for use in a directly-observed, educational activity to foster skill development in teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and other medical education learning objectives. A post-game debrief can then be used for feedback and discussion, self-reflection, and reinforcement of learning points. This workshop will demonstrate how escape games can be designed to suit medical education learning objectives, where participants can engage in learning in an innovative, collaborative, and fun way. The workshop draws from the facilitator’s prior experience in developing a teamwork simulation inside a medical school’s simulation theatre, in the form of an escape game, for the purpose of teamwork skills training of second year medical students. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to observe an escape game demonstration and debrief. Steps required to design and execute an escape game will be outlined, and participants will begin the process of designing escape games in breakout groups for learning objectives of their group’s choice. The workshop facilitator is an escape game enthusiast who has played over 70 escape games, led the design of 2 complete escape games, and contributed to the puzzles of 2 escape games.

    By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

    Observe an escape game demonstration Discuss the steps in designing an escape game Design escape game puzzles to achieve learning objectives

    The Calgary Interprofessional Challenge: A Novel Model for Interprofessional Education Rahim Kachra, MD, University of Calgary Nishan Sharma, PhD, University of Calgary

    During this interactive workshop, participants will work together to solve problems using an approach to interprofessional education used at the Calgary Interprofessional Challenge. After a short competition, the facilitators will engage participants in a discussion to further explore how we can refine interprofessional education in medical education. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

    Describe how a successful interprofessional education event may be conducted Identify the importance of university-wide interprofessional education Describe strategies to incorporate this event into learning opportunities for your own students

  • OVERVIEWAlthough coming to terms with death and dying is part of our work as physicians, it is not uncommon for us to have considerable difficulty with the subject, especially when we are in training and when we lose one of our own. Dr. Myers will discuss the ways in which physicians typically react and cope with the death of a colleague and explain the underlying biological, psychological, socio-cultural and spiritual mechanisms that we use. Despite the disequilibrium, pain and heartache of loss, it is possible to grow and mature through such tragedy.

    “When a Colleague Dies: Growing Through Tragedy”

    REGISTRATION Deadline: Monday, 11 March 2019 Cost: FREE* https://www.eventbrite.ca/o/physician-amp-family-support-program-office-of-resident-affairs-amp-physician-wellness-17338125214
