EDUCATION
Innovative Educational Programs and Initiatives Drs. Annemarie Thompson, Mark Stafford-Smith and Ashley Grantham have been working to develop novel, innovative educational programs and initiatives for Duke Anesthesiology trainees. Jessica Burkhart, GME program coordinator, has contributed greatly to moving these initiatives towards implementation. The department launched the resident leadership program in 2016, led by Drs. Jennifer Hauck and Grantham. The program is designed to help facilitate the growth of competencies in the Duke Healthcare Leadership Model: integrity, critical thinking, selfless service, teamwork, emotional intelligence, and patient centeredness. The program sessions are taught by local experts in leadership, both from Duke and the greater Triangle community. A resident dashboard launched in spring 2017 to provide trainees and their advisors data about their educational and clinical performance. The dashboard format provides trend information and allows trainees and their advisors to benchmark their progress against their peers.
The department has continued to innovate the residency curriculum through the application of best practices in education, including course flipping. Planning is Mark Stafford-Smith, MD, CM, currently underway FRCPC, FASE to incorporate personalized learning and game principles into the resident didactics. In October 2016, Duke Anesthesiology launched Vital Signs, a residency newsletter. It provides a stage for Dr. Thompson and the residency program staff to consolidate all of the information flowing from trainees, attendings, and multiple emails into one place while highlighting resident accomplishments in research, patient care, global health outreach, advocacy, and many other activities. These efforts echo the department’s mission in providing extraordinary care and creating future leaders in the
