In this study, we compared the survey responses of family medicine residents who had attended medical school at the main campus in Indianapolis versus an RMC to see if there were any noticeable differences in their residency training outcomes. \u0000Methods: From 2012 to 2017, in the spring of each year, a cross-sectional survey was administered to all final-year family medicine residents graduating from the eleven family medicine residency programs in Indiana. A total of 519 out of 520 residents completed the survey. Of whom, 132 respondents indicated they had graduated from IUSM; 45 reported they had attended the Indianapolis campus and 87 had attended one of the RMCs in the state. Our dataset for this study was comprised of these 132 respondents. Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test were used to compare responses between groups. P-values ≤ 0.05 were considered statistically significant. \u0000Results: In the ACGME competency areas, the residents who attended an RMC versus the Indianapolis campus were significantly more likely to report being fully competent in Medical Knowledge (90% vs. 76%, p = 0.032) and Systems-Based Practice (83% vs. 64%, p = 0.019). Additionally, the residents who attended an RMC compared to their Indianapolis counterparts reported significantly higher rates of being trained to serve rural populations (73% vs. 52%, p = 0.017) as well as being fully competent to serve rural populations (69% vs. 42%, p = 0.003). However, the residents who attended an RMC were no more likely to establish a practice in a rural area than were the residents who attended Indianapolis (18% vs. 17%, p = 0.845). \u0000Conclusions: Based on these self-reported data, the family medicine residents who attended an RMC may perceive themselves to be better-prepared in a few core competency areas, as well as in serving rural populations, compared to those who attended the Indianapolis campus. These findings suggest that IUSM’s complex statewide system of medical education may offer some unique advantages in preparing students for residency, especially in family medicine. \u0000 \u0000None of the authors has a conflict of interest.

We describe herein a series of practical tips for those working in the context of a videoconferenced distributed medical education program.

Working with these students early in their education can help them appreciate the importance of professional identity formation as well as inform educators on best methods to understand this process. \u0000 Methods \u0000 A reflective exercise was used at the beginning of sessions with pre-medical students at their home campus who attended a medical school presentation on the admissions process. Students were asked to reflect on what they wished to be said about them at the end of their career in the form of a “Career Eulogy.” A simple form was developed and administered to the students to capture their reflective writing and their basic demographics anonymously. Qualitative data were blinded and then coded into clusters by the authors using an iterative process. \u0000 Results \u0000 Reflections from 79 pre-medical students indicated a preference to be remembered for quality and excellence in care, especially among upper level students and students from small towns. Compassion, patient relationships, and the doctor as teacher terms were more likely to be written by Juniors and Seniors while Freshmen and Sophomores tended to focus on terms related to enjoyment of life and service. \u0000 Discussion \u0000 This reflective exercise provided useful insight into professional identity formation among these college pre-meds and could be used with larger, more diverse groups to determine its value and clarify true differences among the demographic characteristics.

An IRB-approved study analyzed the outcomes of 73 faculty development sessions conducted within one academic year. A qualitative study of the narrative portion of end-of-session evaluations examined type and scope of narrative feedback provided to presenters about their presentation skills as well as about the perceived quality and usefulness of the faculty development sessions.

This study examines the reliabilities of main (urban) and regional (rural) campus interviewers’ assessments of applicants to a Rural Physician Leadership Program (RPLP) located in the southeastern United States. \u0000Data from RPLP applicants completing MSPIs on two campuses from 2009-2017 (n = 232) were examined in a generalizability analysis. In two separate interviews on each campus (4 total), raters independently evaluated applicants’ overall acceptability and likelihood of practicing in a rural area of the state. Results provided campus-specific and combined (composite) estimates of obtained and projected reliabilities. \u0000The person-by-campus interaction accounted for 11% and 5% of the respective variance in interviewers’ ratings of overall applicant acceptability and likelihood of rural in-state practice, and the reliability of mean scores across the four independent interviews (each with a single, unique rater) was 0.73 and 0.82. Error variances were higher among main campus interviewers, but scores correlated highly between the two campuses. \u0000While broadening the universe of generalization often results in decreased reliability, reliability was shown to be enhanced with the addition of regional (rural) campus interviews. As the RPLP matures, an examination of graduates’ actual practice locations should yield insights into the predictive validity of these pre-admissions assessments. More generally, research may wish to explore the conditions under which increasing the diversity of stakeholder input can be accommodated without concomitant reductions in overall reliability.","PeriodicalId":92811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regional medical campuses","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81128346","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Researchers were interested in examining differences in students' perception of ownership across main and regional campuses. The purpose of this study is to assess third-year students' perception of \"ownership\" during their clerkship rotations in different clinical settings. Items from a validated instrument on psychological ownership were adopted to suit a clinical environment. Scores on each of the sub-scales of: a) Territoriality, b) Accountability, c) Self-efficacy, d) Belongingness, and e) Self-Identification were calculated by averaging the items. The survey was administered to 233 third-year medical students multiple times throughout the academic year. Responses from regional campus or community provider settings were compared to the main campus. To examine students' psychological ownership scores in different clinical settings, analysis of variance (ANOVA), was performed. A Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison procedure was used to examine post hoc pair-wise differences between two clinical settings. We received 265 of responses from 95 of responders. There were no statistically significant differences between campuses for Territoriality scores. On Self-Efficacy, Accountability, Self-Identification and Belongingness scales other community providers and regional campuses had significantly higher scores than main campus (p<0.05). Follow up ANOVA analysis were performed for all scales on individual items resulting in 1/5 for Accountability, 2/6 on Self-Efficacy, 5/5 on Belongingness, and 6/7 for Self-Identification been statistically significant. \u0000 Ownership is considered an important aspect of patient care, patient safety, professional identity formation, etc., yet researchers have not examined how clinical settings impact students' perceptions of patient ownership during their clerkship years.
