Background The objectives of this curricular innovation project were to implement a flipped classroom curriculum for the gynaecologic oncology topics obstetrics and gynaecology medical student clerkship, evaluate satisfaction with change. Methods Four short online videos on endometrial hyperplasia, cervical dysplasia, evaluation an adnexal mass, ovarian cancer created, students instructed view them prior class-time active learning session. Learning Activity Management System (lams)...
Importance State-specific abortion restrictions currently affect the training of approximately 44% obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) residents in US. Examination where future trainees apply for residency is important. Objective To assess changes percentage applicants to OBGYN programs by state based on place after Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization (hereafter, ) US Supreme Court decision examine whether applicants’ preference programs, as suggested distribution application signals...
To investigate whether there is a difference in medical student teaching evaluations for male and female clinical physician faculty.The authors examined all completed by students at one North American school the surgery, obstetrics gynecology, pediatrics, internal medicine rotations from 2008 to 2012. The focused on how rated faculty their "overall quality of teaching" using 5-point response scale (1 = Poor 5 Excellent). Linear mixed-effects models provided estimated mean differences...
ABSTRACT Background Over the last decade, medical student residency applicants have shown a substantial increase in number of interviews attended, which is associated with significant travel. The carbon footprint has not been well documented prior to this investigation, and critical issue related climate health. Objective purpose study document travel from single institution. Methods Graduating students University Michigan Medical School were surveyed 2020 gather information regarding...
Background Program signaling and geographic preferences are intended to give residency applicants agency in selecting preferred training locations while allowing programs identify interested applicants. However, how these variables compare in-state status (applicant's permanent addresses the same state as a program which they applied) when interview invitations offered is unknown. Objective To relative influence of signaling, preferences, an applicant's determining odds receiving invitation...
An important tenet of competency-based medical education is that the educational continuum should be seamless. The transition from undergraduate (UME) to graduate (GME) far seamless, however. Current practices around this drive students focus on appearing competitively prepared for residency. A communication at completion UME-an handover-would encourage actually preparing care patients. In April 2018, American Medical Association's Accelerating Change in Education consortium meeting included...
Using magnetic resonance images we analyzed the relationship between urethral sphincter anatomy, function and pelvic floor function.A total of 103 women with stress incontinence 108 asymptomatic continent controls underwent profilometry, axis measurement a cotton swab, vaginal closure force an instrumented speculum imaging. Striated urogenital length was determined its thickness measured in proximal sphincter, where circular shape enables estimation striated area. A length-area index...
BackgroundThe implementation of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones in field obstetrics and gynecology has arrived with Level One defined as level expected an incoming first-year resident.PurposeWe designed, implemented, evaluated a 4-week elective fourth-year medical school students, which utilized multimodal approach to teaching assessing competencies.MethodsThe 78-hour curriculum traditional didactic lectures, flipped classroom active learning...
The June 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision on Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization resulted in state-specific differences abortion care access across the country. primary concern obstetrics and gynecology education community has been impact resident fellowship training programs. However, undergraduate medical broad implications for future generations of physicians are crucial to address. It is estimated that 48% matriculants MD-granting schools will receive their 26 states with...

Recognition of the spectrum gender identities has been a recent phenomenon in medical profession. Over past 20 years, literature related to identity diversity increased several-fold, yet it more commonly addresses clinical care rather than aspects education. Medical educators continue struggle with appropriate language and inclusive approaches when discussing gender-based Reproductive health education, including obstetrics gynecology clerkships, is particularly vulnerable missteps...
Transforming a medical school curriculum wherein students enter clerkships earlier could result in two cohorts simultaneously during the transition. To avoid overlapping at University of Michigan Medical School, length all required was decreased by 25% 2016-2017 academic year, without instituting other systematic structural changes. The authors hypothe sized that reduction clerkship duration would decreases student perfor mance and changes perceptions.One-way analyses variance Tukey post hoc...
There is emerging evidence that learners may be suboptimally prepared for the expectations of residency. In order to address these concerns, many medical schools are implementing residency preparation courses (RPCs).We aimed determine trainees' perceptions their transition and whether they felt benefited from participation in an RPC.All residents fellows at University Michigan (n = 1292) received electronic survey July 2018 queried respondents on demographics, school had them intern year,...
Background: Current efforts incompletely address the educational, social, and developmental aspects of a learner’s transition from medical school to residency.Objective: To determine feasibility acceptability residency (TTR) coaching program.Designs: In March 2019, we designed, implemented, evaluated TTR program for students who matched into programs at our institution. Goals were stimulate reflection on successes challenges encountered during school, develop strategies problem-solve...
