Hello ADMSEP Members,

The ADMSEP Scholarly Publication Award seeks to recognize the most outstanding UME-focused publication by an ADMSEP member over the past year. The Awards Committee has searched Academic Psychiatry, MedEdPORTAL, and Medical Teacher for publications and have already identified a number of publications for consideration.

If you have published between March 2023 and March 2024 in another journal (or would like to confirm consideration of your article in the aforementioned journals), please contact me with the citation for your publication.

Thank you,

Chase Findley

ADMSEP Virtual Spring Meeting – Wednesday April 17th – 4p-530p EST

“Here We Go Again: Leading Medical Education in An Era of Recurrent Crisis.”

This will be a timely and helpful topic that will be presented by a great group of ADMSEP members: Drs. Elizabeth Greene, Kelly Cozza, Victoria Kelly, Michael Miller and Khyati Kothari. We will record and offer CME. Look for a calendar invitation from Ellie coming soon.

ADMSEP Spring Town Hall – Wednesday March 20th, 2024 4p-530p EST - “Where Do We Go from Here? Development and Adoption of the New Foundational Core Competencies for Undergraduate Medical Education.”

Watch it in Members Only

This town hall was on the new AAMC competencies for medical student education. These foundational competencies were developed through a multi-year, four phase, collaborative national effort. Over 1,000 individuals provided input towards the development of the competencies, including those from psychiatry, and a diverse group was convened and charged to draft the new foundational competencies.

Dr. Lisa Howley from the AAMC presented on the new competencies and heard our feedback.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

Abstract: The medical education community has been working towards competency-based education for decades. However, much work remains to align undergraduate and graduate medical education and enhance the transition to residency. An initiative led and advised by multiple medical education organizations has recently resulted in new foundational competencies for undergraduate medical education in the U.S. regardless of location or degree type. This interactive session will introduce the new foundational competencies for undergraduate medical education. The multi-year collaborative effort to develop them will be briefly reviewed and the attendees will be invited to ideate strategies to integrate them within their local educational programs.

Link to competencies: https://cloud.email.aamc.org/UME-Competencies-AAMC-AACOM-ACGME

Objectives: 1. Defend the need for a standard set of foundational competencies across UME programs, that align with GME. 2. Describe the foundational UME competencies that align across the continuum, and the process used to develop them. 3. Construct one or more actions towards local adoption of the new foundational competencies

Dear ADMSEP,

Practicing gratitude is good for the mental health of both the giver and recipient. Now is a great opportunity for you to engage in practicing gratitude by pondering who has made your professional life easier and more enjoyable over the past year, and what is it that person has done that you found to be so helpful. This is an ideal time to let ADMSEP members know how thankful you are, and then to demonstrate your gratitude by nominating them for an ADMSEP award!

· Does your Clerkship Administrator regularly prevent chaos from overwhelming your day? Nominate them for the ADMSEP Clerkship Administrator Award for Excellence.

· Has your early-in-their-career colleague come up with some fresh and clever ideas for improving medical student education at your school? Encourage them to apply for the ADMSEP Devneil Vaidya Award and offer to write a letter of support.

· Is there a senior colleague who you respect and admire for all that they have done over many years for ADMSEP and medical education? Write a letter nominating them for the ADMSEP Fred Sierles MD Leadership & Excellence in Psychiatric Education Award

· Do you know someone who has done something educationally innovative in your clerkship or course that has worked great or maybe even beyond your expectations? Encourage the innovator to apply for the ADMSEP Innovations Award.

****NEW THIS YEAR**** · Is there a mid-career faculty member in your department who seamlessly integrates their commitment to serving the disadvantaged in their community with their work in medical student education? Write a letter nominating them to be the inaugural recipient of the ADMSEP Amy Brodkey, MD, Award for Advocacy and Community Service in Psychiatry.

Details about the various ADMSEP awards, along with the deadlines, are listed on our website: https://admsep.org/membership.php?c=awards
