Education Hackathon Keynote 2022

Needs Statement

Despite overwhelming evidence that active learning pedagogies produce better educational outcomes, traditional lecturing remains the dominant mode of instruction in medical education. This workshop and presentation will be focused on educating medical instructors on the benefits of active learning strategies. The goal is to improve attendees’ knowledge of the benefits of active learning for teaching medical students and trainees as well as to strive toward competence in adopting active learning methods in their own teaching practice. This will involve presentation of the relevant science education literature followed by a workshop where attendees will generate their own ideas for how to incorporate what they have learned in their own courses.

Educational Objectives

At the conclusion of the activity, the participants should be able to:

• Articulate the differences between traditional instruction and active learning pedagogical practices.
• Summarize the evidence for incorporating active learning for teaching medical trainees.
• Identify areas of teaching content where active learning methods can be applied.

Disclosure Policy

Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education (CME) for physicians. BCM is committed to sponsoring CE activities that are scientifically based, accurate, current, and objectively presented.

In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, BCM has implemented a mechanism requiring everyone in a position to control the content of an educational activity (i.e., directors, planning committee members, faculty) to disclose any relevant financial relationships with commercial interests (drug/device companies) and manage/resolve any conflicts of interest prior to the activity. Individuals must disclose to participants the existence or non-existence of financial relationships at the time of the activity or within 24 months prior.

In addition, BCM has requested activity faculty/presenters to disclose to participants any unlabeled use or investigational use of pharmaceutical/device products; to use scientific or generic names (not trade names) in referring to products; and, if necessary to use a trade name, to use the names of similar products or those within a class. Faculty/presenters have also been requested to adhere to the ACCME's validation of clinical content statements.

BCM does not view the existence of financial relationships with commercial interests as implying bias or decreasing the value of a presentation. It is up to participants to determine whether the relationships influence the activity faculty with regard to exposition or conclusions. If at any time during this activity you feel that there has been commercial/promotional bias, notify the Activity Director or Activity Coordinator. Please answer the questions about balance and objectivity in the activity evaluation candidly.

All of the relevant financial relationships listed for these individuals have been mitigated.
