The AAMC's Institute for Improving Medical Education issued the
report, "Educating Doctors to Provide High Quality Medical Care:
A Vision for Medical Education in the United States" in July 2004.
The AAMC's Group on Educational Affairs was invited to respond to
the report, in particular with ideas for implementation of the report's
recommendations. During the past year, the GEA has developed implementation
strategies and a research agenda in response to the five areas of
the report. This session will provide a forum for discussion of
the GEA's response to the IIME report.

GEA UGME, GME and CME Section Focus Group
How Did I Do Today? Practical Approaches to Self-assessment Across
the Medical Educational Continuum
Moderator:
Nancy Ryan-Lowitt, MD
University of Maryland School of Medicine
Faculty:
Mark H. Gelula, PhD
University of Illinois at Chicago
Gabrielle Kane, MD, EdD
University of Toronto
Elaine Dannefer, PhD
Case Western Reserve University
Goals for the Session: This 90-minute focus session,
intended for medical educators, residents, fellows and students
from the UME, GME and CME fields, will pursue the theme of the Sunday
morning GEA plenary session "Creating a Culture of Self-assessment
Across the Medical Education Continuum". This focus session will
provide participants an opportunity to discuss and reflect upon
practical strategies and best practices to promote self-assessment
and self-reflection across the medical education continuum.
The session will provide a series of four brief ten-minute
presentations describing best practices in self-reflection and self-assessment
from invited experts across the medical education continuum. This
will be followed by a large group facilitated discussion, giving
an opportunity for participants to share their experiences and suggest
future directions.
Program:
Introduction to the session: Nancy Ryan-Lowitt, MD,
University of Maryland School of Medicine

GEA RIME Section Focus Group
Perspectives on Measurement and Research in Self-Assessment
Facilitators:
Judy A. Shea, PhD
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine
Presenters:
Glenn Regehr, PhD
University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine
Robert Galbraith, MD, MBBS
National Board of Medical Examiners
Goals for the Session: A GEA/SACME Plenary Session
that focuses on self-assessment will be held on Sunday, October
29. It is anticipated that many issues and topics pertinent to the
Research in Medical Education (RIME) section, as well as other GEA
sections, will be raised.
This session is one of two concurrent sessions to further
explore self-assessment. The other session, "How Did I Do Today?
Practical Approaches to Self-assessment Across the Medical Education
Continuum," (organized by the UGME/CME and GME sections) will focus
on methods and tools for collecting self-assessment data. The purpose
of this session is to further define methods and priorities for
research on self-assessment, paying particular attention to important
methodological and psychometric issues.
Format/Methods:
Introduction (30 minutes): Substantial research
has shown the limitations in learners' abilities to accurately predict
their own performances. Moreover, recent literature suggests new
research frameworks and methods are needed to advance the body of
knowledge about self-assessment. The goals of this session are to
briefly review what is known about self-assessment from a methodologic
and psychometric framework, to explore strategies to enhance research
about self-assessment across the continuum, and to begin to formulate
thoughtful research questions that will address the benefits and
limitations of self-assessment.
Small Group Discussions: Designing Self-Assessment
Research to Address Measurement Issues (35 minutes): Working in
groups of 4 or 5, participants will choose a level of learner (e.g.,
UGME, GME, CME) and a measurement issues (e.g., validity) and begin
to design a research project in self-assessment. In addition to
the research question and design, participants will be asked to
reflect on options considered, challenges, and possible solutions.
A recorder for each group will summarize on paper the ideas generated
by the group, which will be collected at the end of the session.
Nascent Research Ideas (20 minutes): Group representatives
will summarize their discussion for the large group. This will provide
a broad sampling of perspectives and ideas which will educate and
stimulate the group thinking, and hopefully be useful to participants
as they return home to plan future research endeavors.
Closing Comments (5 minutes): Presenters will
reflect on the work accomplished and outline possible steps to be
taken to move a research agenda on self-assessment forward.

AAMC-GEA Educational Scholarship Group
Moving Educational Activities into Scholarship: Results and Recommendations
from the AAMC-GEA Consensus Conference on Educational Scholarship
Presenters:
Deborah E. Simpson, PhD
Medical College of Wisconsin
Ruth Marie E. Fincher, MD
Medical College of Wisconsin
Janet P. Hafler, EdD
Harvard Medical School
David P. Irby, PhD, ThM
University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine

University of Texas Medical School at Houston
Tom Viggiano, MD
Emerging from the February 2006 GEA Consensus Conference
on Educational Scholarship was a strong consensus that faculty seeking
academic advancement as educators must demonstrate core elements
of scholarship. Judgments regarding the degree to which the candidate's
activities contribute to the educational community — at local
to international levels — require that the activities be made
public, be peer reviewed and be presented in a form that others
can build upon. These criteria will be discussed and strategies
for review and adoption will be explored.
