The educational process in medicine leads to eventual independence, a time when the faculty need no longer be physically present. It’s hard work for students and also for faculty, and maybe we need simple principles to get students and teachers on the same page. Physiologic systems, for instance, support homeostasis, an internal process of trying to maximize or protect something important and avoid threats, in which self-monitoring or self-regulation is essential. In their progress toward progressive independence, what in our students are we trying to maximize (some notion of competence) and what are we trying to avoid (unsafe or unprofessional behaviors). How do we foster this and what are simple ways to describe the process of internalizing a promise of expertise and duty? And, what are effective and efficient ways of observing it?
Objectives
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the concept of an internalized set-point (homeostasis) for what expertise and duty look like as learners progress toward independence
- Define the knowledge expectations needed from EPAs and milestones as we move from UME to GME to CME
- Use the process of questioning to transfer power, fun, and responsibility to learners
- Foster confidence in our shared ability to assess and provide feedback on progress toward independence for students and residents
