— BRIEF REPORTS — Academic Half-Days: Facilitated Small Groups to Promote Interactive Learning Heather Armson, MD, MCE | Keith Wycliffe-Jones, MBChB | Maria Palacios Mackay, DDS, MSc, PhD | Stefanie Roder, PhD Fam Med. 2020;52(1):53-64. DOI: 10.22454/FamMed.2020.947981 Abstract BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Medical educators have expressed interest in using less didactic and more interactive formats for academic half-days (AHDs) in postgraduate residency training. We assessed the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing a practice-based small-group learning (PBSGL) process as one part of AHDs. METHODS: A mixed-methods approach was used. Over a two-year period, family medicine residents at the University of Calgary took part in PBSGL sessions during their AHDs, discussing clinical cases presented in evidence-based educational modules and reflecting on clinical experiences with the guidance of a trained peer facilitator. Data sources to explore experiences with the PBSGL process included an evaluation questionnaire, a practice reflection tool (PRT; documenting patient management plans) and individual interviews (n=19) with residents and faculty preceptors. RESULTS: Of 148 residents, 139 (93%) agreed to participate. Participants were divided into groups of 14-16 members to discuss 12 different module topics. Participants indicated that ongoing small-group interactions were helpful in meeting learning needs and provided opportunities to share and learn from experiences of others in a safe environment. Group facilitation by residents was successful. Level of resident participation and time to preread modules were factors contributing to successful small-group interactions. Modules were rated as effective learning tools, and sample cases were perceived as representing typical cases encountered in practice. Although participants intended to apply their learning to practice, follow through was hindered by lack of relevant clinical cases. CONCLUSIONS: Ongoing small-group learning facilitated by residents, coupled with evidence-based educational materials, was a feasible approach to AHDs. Postgraduate medical education is situated in clinical environments where residents may not always have adequate exposure to important learning topics. To address this gap, academic half-days (AHDs) have been developed. AHDs are regularly-scheduled educational events under faculty supervision outside clinical time.1 Traditionally, AHDs have focused on didactic presentations, but recently there has been a push for more interactive formats incorporating best educational principles2,3 (opportunities for case-based experiential and social learning, reflection on current approaches, exploration of clinical reasoning, development of self-directed learning approaches). In 2010, the family medicine (FM) residency program at the University of Calgary made changes to its AHDs based on the educational literature.4-6 To provide an active learning environment the program7,8 “communities-of-learners” were developed by using the process and content of a well-established continuing medical education (CME) program—Practice-Based Small-Group Learning (PBSGL).9 The PBSGL process is based on self-selected groups of physicians meeting monthly with a trained peer facilitator, discussing evidence-based modules on various clinical topics and using a practice reflection tool (PRT)10 to document any planned practice changes resulting from each meeting.9 The goal of PBSGL is to provide a safe learning environment for physicians to reflect on practice and identify gaps between current and best practice. Practice reflections are enhanced through small-group discussions by sharing practice experiences around clinical topics provided in evidence-based educational modules. This study used a mixed-methods approach11 to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing PBSGL during AHDs, investigate mediators to this learning approach, and determine the impact on intentions related to lifelong learning. Methods Figure 1 provides an overview of the study recruitment, preparation, protocol, and data collection. Study Recruitment and Preparation PBSGL9 was introduced to the University of Calgary FM residency program and studied between 2010 and 2012. Study information and invitations were provided verbally during an AHD and sent via e-mail to all residents (n=148) and faculty (n=23). Initially the study focused on training resident facilitators, creating data collection tools and piloting PBSGL sessions (Figure 1). Study Protocol and Data Collection The residency program coordinator assigned residents to groups of 14-16 participants (combined first- and second-year residents) who stayed together over 1-2 years. Participants discussed module topics (Table 1) selected by the academic director during 90-minute PBSGL sessions facilitated by a resident facilitator, and supported by faculty. PBSGL sessions occurred once per month during AHDs. Practice reflection tools were used to document planned practice changes in the form of commitment-to-change statements (CTCs).10,12 Three months after each learning session, groups reviewed CTCs and documented success with implementation in practice (Figure 1). Changes were made to the PRTs (since residents did not perceive themselves as being in practice, the language on the PRTs was changed to “managing my patients”). Evaluation questionnaires used to rate the PBSGL sessions consisted of Likert-type questions/statements (Table 2). Participants found completing a separate questionnaire time consuming, so we added selected evaluation questions to the PRTs. Interviews explored the PBSGL experience. All residents, facilitators, and faculty were invited via e-mail to be interviewed by telephone. Interviews were recorded verbatim for transcription and analyzed using QSR NVivo 9. Data Analysis Data from the questionnaires and PRTs were tabulated using Microsoft Excel 2007 for frequency counts and ratio calculations. Independent samples t tests assessed for significant differences (P≤.05) between first- and second-year residents using IBM SPSS Windows Version 24.0. We coded PRT statements according to a taxonomy of clinical questions,13 and used a thematic analysis approach14 to identify themes and create a framework to code interview statements. Coding discrepancies were discussed until consensus was achieved. Ethics approval was granted by the University of Calgary’s Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board, Calgary, Alberta, Canada: REB E-23666. Results Out of 148 residents, 139 (94%) consented to participate (Figure 1). On average, there were nine participants per group. The breakdown of the number of first- and second-year residents who discussed the module topics is shown in Table 1. Evaluation of Learning Sessions More participants rated facilitators, modules, and group interactions as effective and indicated intentions to apply learning to practice; no significant differences were observed between first- and second-year residents’ evaluations (Table 2). Fewer residents rated completion of the PRT as helpful. Practice Reflections and Implementation Table 3 shows the number of PRTs submitted, percent of documented CTCs, and change made for each module topic. Most participants planned to make changes to patient care. There were no statistically significant differences between the percentage of first- and second-year residents making CTCs. Significantly more first-year residents reported making changes compared to second-year residents; t(16)=2.893, P=.01, d=1.38; mean difference 17.3 (95% CI, 4.6–30.0). Reported changes made were related to diagnosis (eg, ordering tests) and/or management (eg, taking more time to counsel patients) depending on the clinical topic studied (Table 3). Interviews Thirteen residents, three facilitators, and three faculty were interviewed. The thematic framework created to analyze the transcripts had four broad coding categories: (1) small-group learning process, (2) practice implementation, (3) learning; and (4) feedback for the program. Data saturation15 was reached with 14 interviews. Table 4 provides the framework with themes/subthemes and representative interview statements. Discussion Using the PBSGL process during AHDs was found to be a feasible and effective teaching and learning strategy for the University of Calgary family practice residency program. Developing a community of learners provided an engaging and supportive learning environment. Chen et al7 identified sharing experiences and exploring differences in clinical approaches as factors that increase residents’ engagement in their own learning. Group interactions met participants’ learning needs and improved self-assessment. Residents’ desire to have input into the choice of modules/discussion topics echoes previous studies.16,17 Considering that modules were developed for established physicians, they were still found to be relevant to the residents’ clinical context. Small-group discussions of patient cases provided opportunities for clinical reasoning, practice reflection, and knowledge application.18 Time to preread modules contributed to successful small-group discussions. Although facilitators were effective, the peer facilitators’ limited clinical experience hindered discussion around changes in practice. Faculty were meant to fill this gap; however, faculty were resistant to extra training for the PBSGL process. Batalden et al3 identified faculty development as a core principle for developing excellent AHD experiences. To ensure good dynamics within the small-group setting, many facilitation strategies19-21 were discussed during training. Studies on the use of CTCs in residency are limited.22-24 Using CTCs in this study presented some challenges: residents did not frame their clinical experiences in terms of their practice. They saw themselves as starting to establish clinical approaches for patient management. Even when language was changed, perception of PRT usefulness was questionable. Limited patient encounters minimized opportunities to apply new knowledge. Despite this, most participants planned to apply their learning, and some reported changes to practice. Reviewing planned changes was identified as beneficial to consolidate learning. Although the documented CTCs were similar, first-year residents had more “made changes” statements than second-year residents. This may have been because first-year residents are less experienced than second-year residents, who have already established some practice approaches. Residents identified the PBSGL experience as one they would seek after residency, and approximately 30% are currently using PBSGL for CME. Rial and Scallan found PBSGL helps newly graduated practitioners shift “their learning needs away from their postgraduate exams and towards ’real world’ practice and establishing a peer group to provide support for the early years in practice.”25 PBSGL appeared to promote practice reflection in the context of small group interactive learning environments, exposing them to a positive lifelong learning environment. This study is limited by its setting in a single residency program at one university and the focus on one aspect of AHDs. The use of a specific programmatic approach (PBSGL) could be an additional limitation, although the components (consistent small groups; case-based learning materials; facilitated discussions; practice reflections) are relevant and should be tested in other residency programs. The University of Calgary Residency Program continues to use PBSGL during their AHDs.

For healthcare professionals, the need for repeated exposure to live patients, in order to improve their skill and experience cannot be stressed enough. Such experiences are important not just for budding doctors and nurses but even for those who are in practice for some time. Experts believe that medicine is as much a science as it is an art. Constant exposure to real life medical scenarios helps healthcare professionals to master both these aspects. Conversely, the obligation to provide optimal treatment to every patient while ensuring patient’s safety and well being poses a dilemma in medical education.

Destination Edinburgh A diverse and vibrant city, Edinburgh is steeped in history. As well as being the capital city of Scotland, it is the leading festival city in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Full of cultural and historical sites to visit, Edinburgh has both a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town, both of which are situated around the terrain of the volcanic Arthur's Seat, the Pentland Hills and Edinburgh's Waterfront. Edinburgh is also globally recognised as a world-leading authority in the sciences and remains home to some of the leading centres of microbiological research in Europe. Current researchers follow in the footsteps of past scientists who have advanced medicine: from the discovery of chloroform anaesthesia and the development of the hypodermic syringe to the development of MRI scanner and insulin. Today, pioneering research is underway into regenerative medicine, in vitro imaging, bio-informatics and cancer treatment, as well as food security and animal welfare. But Edinburgh's most famous scientist is arguably Alexander Fleming, a medical scientist who won the Nobel Prize for his discovery of penicillin and who was the first President of the Microbiology Society. To celebrate the Society's 75th Anniversary in 2020, Annual Conference is taking place in the city close to Fleming's heart and where he served as Rector of Edinburgh University. EICC Annual Conference will take place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Edinburgh International Conference Centre The Exchange Edinburgh EH3 8EE General enquiries: +44(0)131 300 3000 The award-winning EICC is a centre of excellence for world class events and conferences in the heart of Edinburgh. EICC's impressive facilities include adaptable auditoria, break-out suites and spacious exhibition and reception areas, which will all be for the exclusive use of the Microbiology Society and its delegates during the week of Annual Conference 2020. Sustainability The EICC considers the environmental impacts affecting every procurement decision associated with the running of events. Preference is given to products and services certified by recognised authorities such as Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), EMS ISO 14001, Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS), Green Globe and other applicable sustainability standards. All food is freshly prepared on the premises from seasonal ingredients sourced within 200 miles of Edinburgh. The catering team adheres to an environmentally-sound approach to the disposal of waste including food, packaging, cooking oils and liquids. The EICC’s strategic direction is to build on its reputation as a 'green business' and to develop its reputation for best practice in sustainability. They aim to achieve 20% reduction of our overall CO2 per m2 by 2020 relative to 2013 baseline. EICC won the coveted Sustainable Event Excellence Award in March 2018. Carbon footprint offsetting Delegate travel is the biggest contributor to the carbon emissions involved with Annual Conference, we would therefore like to encourage all delegates to offset their carbon footprint. A carbon offset is a way to compensate for your emissions by funding an equivalent carbon dioxide saving elsewhere. You can calculate and offset your carbon footprint from travelling to the conference by using this carbon calculator, this supports international projects and sustainable development worldwide. Crèche The Society is again teaming up with Nipperbout to provide a free crèche at the Annual Conference 2020. The crèche will be available to all children of delegates between the ages of 0 and 12 years. All registered delegates will be offered the opportunity to make use of these free childcare services, which will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note the crèche will be closed for lunch and parents are responsible for providing food for their children. Lunch is not provided by the Society or the crèche as part of this offer. It is imperative that you collect your child/children at lunchtime as the staff require a half hour break. Water and healthy snacks will be available during crèche hours.
