What is the 'flipped classroom' model and how is it used in GME faculty development?
Answer: Pre-session self-study moves knowledge acquisition out of class, freeing face-to-face time for application
In the flipped classroom model, learners review content independently before a session so that class time can be used for active application, discussion, and problem-solving.
Which assessment tool is commonly used by programs to gather multi-source feedback on resident performance?
Answer: 360-degree evaluation
360-degree evaluation collects feedback from multiple sources — attendings, nurses, peers, and patients — to provide a comprehensive view of resident performance.
What is the program director's responsibility regarding faculty who serve as 'key faculty' in an ACGME program?
Answer: Ensure they participate in faculty development and have documented educational activities
Program directors must ensure key faculty engage in faculty development activities, and those activities should be documented as part of program records.
What is 'deliberate practice' and why is it important in GME?
Answer: Highly structured practice with focused feedback aimed at specific skill improvement
Deliberate practice involves focused, intentional practice of specific skills with immediate feedback, which is key to developing expertise in clinical trainees.
