ABSTRACT: The American Thoracic Society Core Curriculum updates clinicians annually in adult and pediatric pulmonary disease, medical critical care, and sleep medicine in a 3- to 4-year recurring cycle of topics. The topics of the 2020 Pulmonary Core Curriculum include pulmonary vascular disease (submassive pulmonary embolism, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary hypertension) and pulmonary infections (community-acquired pneumonia, pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria, opportunistic infections in immunocompromised hosts, and coronavirus disease [COVID-19]).

Project description:Introduction: The German Council of Science and Humanities as well as a number of medical professional associations support the strengthening of scientific competences by developing longitudinal curricula for teaching scientific competences in the undergraduate medical education. The National Competence Based Catalogue of Learning Objectives for Undergraduate Medical Education (NKLM) has also defined medical scientific skills as learning objectives in addition to the role of the scholar. The development of the Mannheim science curriculum started with a systematic inventory of the teaching of scientific competences in the Mannheim Reformed Curriculum of Medicine (MaReCuM). Methods: The inventory is based on the analysis of module profiles, teaching materials, surveys among experts, and verbatims from memory. Furthermore, science learning objectives were defined and prioritized, thus enabling the contents of the various courses to be assigned to the top three learning objectives. Results: The learning objectives systematic collection of information regarding the current state of research, critical assessment of scientific information and data sources, as well as presentation and discussion of the results of scientific studies are facilitated by various teaching courses from the first to the fifth year of undergraduate training. The review reveals a longitudinal science curriculum that has emerged implicitly. Future efforts must aim at eliminating redundancies and closing gaps; in addition, courses must be more closely aligned with each other, regarding both their contents and their timing, by means of a central coordination unit. Conclusion: The teaching of scientific thinking and working is a central component in the MaReCuM. The inventory and prioritization of science learning objectives form the basis for a structured ongoing development of the curriculum. An essential aspect here is the establishment of a central project team responsible for the planning, coordination, and review of these measures.

Project description:BackgroundStructural health inequities and racism adversely affect patient health and the culture of academic medicine. Formal training to educate fellows and faculty on antiracism is lacking.ObjectiveOur objective was to design, implement, and assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a year-long antiracism curriculum within a pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine division.MethodsThis was a pre- and postintervention observational study conducted between July 2020 and June 2021. The curriculum was offered during an allotted educational meeting time slot at a single-center pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine division at a large academic institution to fellows and faculty. The curriculum consisted of 13 1-hour virtual interactive workshops delivered by local experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion topics. Surveys assessed knowledge on racism in medicine; opinions, understanding, and comfort surrounding race and racism in medicine; as well as additional questions to solicit feedback on the curriculum itself via visual analog scale and write-in comments.ResultsBefore initiating the curriculum, 74% (n = 28) of respondents reported interest in an antiracism curriculum, and the majority (95%, n = 36) believed that discrimination affects medical staff and patients. Respondents reported only moderate comfort in talking about race (median, 58; interquartile range 41-70 on visual analog scale 0-100, where 100 is strongly agree with "I feel comfortable talking about race"). The postintervention survey demonstrated stability of the belief of the presence of racial discrimination and a 15% increase in self-directed learning about related topics. Although knowledge related to the use of race in medical algorithms improved, 14% fewer participants reported interest in continuing to engage in a division-wide structured antiracism curriculum.ConclusionImplementation of a curriculum on justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion within a fellowship program is feasible and addresses an unmet need within graduate medical education.
