Triple Aim For Clinical Teachers (Tact): Faculty Physician Perceptions On Their Ability To Balance Clinical Quality, Trainee Learning, And Teaching Efficiency, Minuja Muralidharan, Anne Getzin, Kjersti E. Knox, Bonnie L. Bobot, Marie M. Forgie, Nicole P. Salvo, Deborah Simpson

Kjersti Knox, MD

Background: A common challenge facing teaching physicians is balancing high-quality student and resident teaching with efficient, high-quality care and patient service. Publicly accessible clinic performance reports increasingly affect where patients seek care and demand that teaching clinics rise to consumer expectations while training future physicians to function in the modern health care workplace. Limited information is available to guide physicians to achieve the triple aim for clinical teachers (TACT): clinical quality/patient experience, trainee learning, and teaching efficiency.

Purpose: To understand clinical teachers’ TACT-related experiences, perceptions and preferences for how to learn TACT-associated skill sets to improve their competence as teachers. …

Jolene M. Miller

Since 1997, the Mulford Health Science Library at the University of Toledo Health Science Campus (formerly the Medical College of Ohio) has been offering a 3-credit-hour elective course for 4th year medical students. The goal of the course is to provide students with skill sets that are important for them to develop as current students and future health care practitioners. It has been the goal of the library to constantly update course content that would be relevant to the students and to seek innovative course delivery methods to enhance the students’ learning experience. A continuous improvement cycle also calls for …

Mastering The Biomedical Literature: Preparing For Learning-Centered Practice, Jolene Miller, Marlene Porter

Jolene M. Miller

Because of the volume of available information and incredibly busy schedules, physicians require a high degree of skill in accessing, evaluating, and organizing information for efficient retrieval and reuse. The Mastering the Biomedical Literature elective (a two-week elective) in the University of Toledo's College of Medicine is designed to equip students with core information skills in support of clinical decision-making and lifelong learning. Content, skills, and issues that were selected for the elective were based on the types of questions received at the Mulford Library from third- and fourth-year medical students and resident physicians. Content selection was also driven by …
