The objective of this year-long qualitative study was to understand new physician preceptors’ development as clinical teachers. We explored preceptors’ and students’ insights with regard to meaningful teaching and learning interactions to provide evidence for the developmental journey. \u0000Methods \u0000Semi-structured interviews with the 9 new community hospital physicians and 37 medical students occurred at the beginning, weekly and at the end of the year. Weekly rounding observations were also completed. Interview recordings and observation notes were transcribed confidentially and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. \u0000Results \u0000Irby’s forms of knowledge were selected as the underlying structure for presenting the results. For preceptors, the strongest areas were knowledge of medicine, patients and context. For students, knowledge of medicine was strongest. Knowledge of pedagogy and learners was an area of weakness for preceptors and more work is needed to continue their developmental growth. \u0000Conclusion \u0000This study provides evidence that new teacher-physicians experience learning processes similar to that of 3rd year students learning the clinical practice of medicine: it develops and deepens over time. New community physician preceptors require a robust, ongoing faculty development plan to enable more effective interactions for teaching and learning.","PeriodicalId":92811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regional medical campuses","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81598644","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}

As anticipated, the data demonstrate a transition from independent practice to larger health systems; physicians in large health systems at 22.9% (1992); 28.8% (2002); and 64.3% (2012). In addition, a downward trend in the percentage of physicians agreeing to serve as preceptors is reported (1992 at 83.61%; 2002 at 70.97%; and 2012 at 61.22%). This time series analysis also provides comparative data summarizing student opinion and evaluation of these experiences from the years 1992, 2012 and 2015.

The paucity of literature is even more apparent regarding leadership transitioning at regional medical campuses (RMC). With this paper, perhaps one of the first to inform this topic, we hope to bridge this gap by assembling the shared perspectives of an administrator, senior faculty member and a learner from the same RMC. Specifically, this work will focus on the following two questions: \u0000 \u0000 Based on our collective experiences what are the critical issues facing an incoming RMC dean? \u0000Are there practical strategies which might assist an incoming RMC dean with the leadership transition process? \u0000 \u0000 This commentary is the result of our collective experience at Western University’s Windsor Campus, a 10-year old regional medical campus of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry located in southwestern Ontario, Canada. We make the assumption that RMC’s encountering leadership transitions are adequately funded, in this way incoming deans can properly attend to effective leadership succession processes. This paper might be of particular interest to those who are personally transitioning as new RMC deans or who will soon take on such a leadership role. We have no conflicts of interest to declare.","PeriodicalId":92811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regional medical campuses","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83080244","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}

We studied the literature on undergraduate RMCs in US and Canada to identify types of studies and leading themes. \u0000Methods \u0000Literature searches were performed within the following databases: Medline OVIDSP, Evidence-Based Medicine Reviews OVIDSP, CINAHL EBSCO, ERIC EBSCO, PsycInfo EBSCO, and Web of Science ISI. Articles were included in the review if they discussed undergraduate medical education in allopathic schools in Northern America (US and Canada), were written in English and related to regional medical campuses. Each article was reviewed and assessed by two of the authors, and information extracted from the literature was thematically analyzed. \u0000Results \u0000Fifty (50) articles were selected for inclusion in the final review. All selected articles fit the definition of Regional Medical Campus developed by the Association of American Medical Colleges’ Group on Regional Medical Campuses (GRMC). The GRMC has defined that RMCs could be of four distinct types: basic science campuses, where students study pre-clinical (basic sciences) courses; clinical campuses, where clerkship training is completed; longitudinal model (for example, Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships) and, usually 4-year campuses, where both pre-clinical and clinical curriculum is delivered. Thirty-six (36) of the reviewed articles (72%) specifically stated that the development of RMCs was in response to the physician shortage and limited access to healthcare in rural areas. Twenty-five (25) articles discussed program models that spanned both basic science and clinical curricula. Of the 50 articles that were included in the final review, 15 (30%) utilized descriptive methodology, and 35 (70%) involved quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods research, with some being considered “program evaluations.” Four major themes emerged from the reviewed articles: workforce, social accountability, distributed medical education, and regional versus main campus settings. \u0000Conclusion \u0000This study is the first comprehensive literature review of publications on Regional Medical Campuses and thus provides a benchmark and direction for future research in the RMCs topic area.","PeriodicalId":92811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regional medical campuses","volume":"105 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73143080","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}

The majority of medical students begin their education distributed among the RMCs, and some students continue clinical experiences at the RMCs for their third and fourth years. \u0000Methods: We used a Geographic Information System (GIS) to visualize and document the contribution of our RMCs in Indiana to the physician workforce pipeline. Using data from the 2011-2017 graduating classes, we created a geospatial database that linked key information from student records and public domain sources (e.g., hometown, campus assignment, PGY1 specialty, and practice) with their corresponding locational information. ArcGIS 10.5 GIS software was used to produce a series of maps to visualize patterns in student outcomes among the RMCs over time. \u0000Results: By using GIS to track medical trainees from hometown to practice, we can provide accurate visualization of extensive geographic data. The maps revealed similarities and differences among the RMCs not fully appreciated until visually mapped, including the specialty choice of students from different campuses and the proportion of graduates practicing in medically underserved areas of the state. \u0000Conclusions: GIS maps and their analyses can identify strengths and distinctions among the RMCs while providing accurate descriptions of the role of geography in the professional development journey of the physician workforce. This ongoing project is a major step toward integrating GIS as a familiar tool in academic administration and health workforce research to assist future decision-making by the school leadership.","PeriodicalId":92811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regional medical campuses","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84394254","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}
