23e001, Module 1: Medical Student Educators Tutorial

Tuesday, November 1, 2022, 12:00 PM - Friday, October 31, 2025, 11:59 PM


The University of Oklahoma College of Medicine’s (OU’s) HRSA TRU OK grant’s mission for the “Expansion and Enhancement of Medical School Curriculum to Increase Physicians in Underserved Oklahoma Sites” is designed to create the Primary Care Pathways to Sustainable Health and Healthcare Network. OU aims to develop this Primary Care Pathways Network to identify and mentor students from tribal, rural, and medically underserved communities in Oklahoma (TRU-OK) beginning K-12 through medical school. This pathway will prepare OU medical students through a cohesive trajectory of enhanced curricula featuring interprofessional, team-based educational experiences in TRU-OK sites. OU will augment how we identify and nurture career interests in primary care, and develop future physicians knowledgeable and empowered to deliver high quality, transformative primary care to meet the needs of TRU-OK communities. OU will leverage our strengths in outreach and recruitment of tribal youth, community medicine education and community engagement, and network capacity building to develop a robust Primary Care Pathways Network. This network will enable OU to create a pipeline starting with mentored youth transitioning to medical school then ultimately residency and primary care practice in TRU-OK. This will foster a self-sustaining pipeline with future physician mentors who then nurture interests in the next cadre of youth in primary care careers in their communities. 

The objective for this CME online training experience is to expand and enhance the resourcing of GOAL 3 in the TRU-OK Primary Care Pathways Network through robust professional, enduring faculty preceptor educational infrastructure. The faculty preceptor learning activities will be enriched and extended through the creation of easy to access training materials provided on multiple learning platforms. Special emphases will be targeted to the distinctive knowledge and skills for teaching students in a Primary Care Pathways Collaborative network. The core curriculum will build upon skills of supervisor roles and attitudes to meet educator knowledge gaps while creating a professional learning community that will sustain the pipeline of new primary care physicians entering practices in Oklahoma.  The initial five core educational interventions were developed based upon a study of community preceptor knowledge gaps as well as literature supporting the importance of enhancing educator knowledge, skills, and attitudes about practicing within a cultural context, modeling professionalism, and increasing awareness of one’s role in the health of a community.

Overall Program Professional Practice Gaps:
Many experienced and knowledgeable physicians are relied upon for teaching medical students in the community, however, most do not have formal training in educational methods used for training students in the busy clinical setting.  Relative to these concerns, there are four specific areas of inquiry that are researched and outlined in the literature and which are listed below:
• Learner centeredness 
• Interpersonal and communication skills 
• Professionalism and role modeling 
• Practice-based reflection and improvement 

Overall Program Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, participants will improve their competence and performance by being able to:
1. Develop educational models for medical students in an ethical and professional manner in keeping with OU policy and directives
2. Describe critical population health needs including diversity, equity, inclusion, and social determinants of health
3. Practice self-care strategies to prevent professional and personal burn-out and to enhance practice.

Module 1 Professional Practice Gaps:
Professional training adapts the One Minute Preceptor teaching model and other evidence-based feedback models to enable an efficient approach to effective assessment, instruction, and feedback in the context of busy clinical practice while outlining strategies for creating positive learning environments for learners. This instruction will outline the issues that impair learning such as student maltreatment and will describe college policies that outline scope of practice and supervision.

Module 1 Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this module, participants will improve their competence and performance by being able to: 
1. Use evidence-based feedback methods in the context of busy clinical practice. 
2. Create positive learning environments for learners. 
3. Identify and address issues that impair learning such as student maltreatment. 
4. Provide frameworks set by college policies to outline scope of practice and supervision.

Module 1: Educational Outcomes:
1. Recognize that student educators have a profound influence on student learning through modeling professional, respectful, and empathetic behaviors during interactions with colleagues, patients, nurses, and others. 
2. Create positive learning environments to prevent student maltreatment.
3. Apply the One Minute Preceptor teaching model and other evidence-based feedback models to enable an efficient approach to effective assessment, instruction, and feedback in the context of busy clinical practice.
4. Identify knowledge of and implementation strategies for the OU College of Medicine policies that outline scope of practice and supervision.
