Programs can have one or two participants. The primary participant must be an STFM member who is a program director or core faculty member with at least 3 years of experience. The secondary participant can be a program coordinator or faculty member.
Selection criteria: Participants from up to 25 programs will be selected to participate. STFM is looking for a diverse group of participants. Diversity characteristics include program type, program setting, program size, and geography. Comments on interest and letters of support will also be considered in the application review process.
Both participants from selected programs (if applying as dyads) are expected to:
- Meet pilot project deadlines
- Use new, mobile app-based assessment (STFM is working with residency management software system vendors to create this assessment in their apps)
- Implement individualized learning plan template and timeline in program
- Integrate coaching strategies to promote resident development
- Complete pre-, mid- and post-pilot surveys
- Submit requested data to fulfill objectives of pilot
- Possibly participate in interview/focus groups
- Participate in or view webinar recordings to learn about CBME concepts and practices
- Be present and participate at all in-person and virtual pilot project meetings:
- June 3-4, 2024: in-person session in Atlanta — full day June 3 and 8-noon on June 4
- September 11, 2024, 10 am - 1 pm CT: virtual meeting
- November 12, 2024, 10 am - 1 pm CT: virtual meeting
- January 23, 2025, 10 am - 1 pm CT: virtual meeting
- April 7, 2025, 10 am - 1 pm CT: virtual meeting
- June 2-3, 2025: in-person session in Atlanta — 1-5 on June 2 and 8-noon on June 3
There is no fee to participate in this pilot project. STFM will reimburse selected participants for travel, food, and lodging to attend the two in-person training sessions. Participants:
- Receive formal education in CBME including education on implementation of assessment strategies
- Receive access to and instructions on using a mobile assessment linked to core outcomes, individualized learning plans, and coaching strategies
- May be invited to co-author a publication
Individuals who complete all assignments and participate in ALL of the virtual and in-person meetings will graduate, receive certificates, and be recognized in STFM publications.
This project is supported by a grant from the ABFM Foundation.
