"If assessment drives learning, how should we assess our students for sustainability?"
Where/When Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Dochart 2 Event Lead(s): Kathleen Leedham-Green
Read More
With finals exams focused on the unsustainable 'diagnose, treat, discharge' model, more sustainable forms of clinical practice such as care planning, lifestyle medicine,
co-creation,social prescribing, systems design, patient advocacy and patient education are being pushed to the periphery of our undergraduate curricula.
Can we collectively put this right?
Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Dochart 2
Who should attend?
Clinicians and educators with an interest in driving sustainable healthcare education through assessment practices.
Although the learning outcomes that we will be working on are from the GMC, the process and many of the assessment items should be suitable for allied

"Bringing the heart and soul back to medicine": The Doctor as a Humanist project
Where/When Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Carron 2 Event Lead(s): Jonathan McFarland
Read More
The more technical the teaching of medicine is, the more necessary the humanistic side becomes; medicine is at the crossroads between Science and the humanities; an uncertain science, perhaps. This Pop-Up event will have two sections. First, a short video recorded at the 2nd The Doctor as a Humanist symposium (Moscow, April 2019) will show what we are doing to bring back the humanities to medical education; to ask “why” the humanities are so important, and “how” we can reintroduce them to medical education. Second, we wish to debate these topics to raise interest and extend our community.
Where/When
Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Carron 2
Who should attend?
Open to all those interested in the medical humanities, or anyone who wants to find out more about the subject.

"How can medical student teaching on conscientious objection be made meaningful and practically useful?"
Where/When Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Alsh 2 Event Lead(s): Corrina Horan
Read More
Conscientious objection is often presented as an ethical dilemma for doctors, with two courses of action – opting in or opting out of abortion care, reflecting the general polarised moral stance on abortion. But the issue is more complex for doctors, who need a more nuanced understanding in order to best serve their patients. By presenting the issue in terms of a scale rather than a polarised ethical issue this workshop will explore how to facilitate careful thinking about conscience and abortion, covering legal, ethical and practical aspects, including how to respectfully exercise the right to opt out of abortion care.
Where/When
Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Alsh 2
Who should attend?
Medical ethics and law and/or professionalism educators. Women's health, sexual health, obstetric s and gynaecology curricula leads and clinical teachers. Healthcare professionals and students.

Corrina Horan
"Non-medics in medical education - do we have a special interest (group)?"
Where/When: Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Carron 1, Event Lead(s): Sonia Bussey
Read More
Clinical teachers from non-medical backgrounds have different educational developmental needs compared to their medically trained colleagues. This was a key finding of a recent doctoral thesis, and something that is not addressed within current ASME provision. Opportunities for networking, collaborating, peer support and dedicated and tailored staff development opportunities are essential to these teachers. However, such opportunities are difficult to identify when working in education departments where there are few teachers from professional backgrounds other than medicine. This need could be fulfilled by the establishment of a dedicated SIG for these teachers.
Anyone with an interest in this area, working across any area of medical education.
We feel it would be of particular interest to those educators who come from backgrounds other than medicine.

"PaintME - UV body painting in Medical Education"
Where/When Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Alsh 1 Event Lead(s): Gabrielle Finn
Read More
This workshops shines a light on new approaches to anatomical body painting. UV paint can be layered on top of or beneath the normal body paint. This means that structures that are superficial or deep can be painted in the same view. The workshop will showcase how UV paint can be utilised to demonstrate muscle tension and presents a more wet, visceral appearance when compared to normal body paint. Discussion will centre around potential uses in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, including medical degrees and medical education certifications.
Where/When
Wednesday 3rd July, 1430-1515, Alsh 1
Who should attend?
Anyone with an interest in clinical skills, anatomy or art with medical education.

"Where does Bloom’s Taxonomy intersect with digital literacy? Learning and Googling as a medical professional and as a medical student"
Where/When Thursday 4th July, 0925-1010, Boisdale 2, Event Lead(s): Terese Bird
Read More
This session explores how professional medics search online for information beyond their expertise. In helping students form a corpus of medical knowledge, we feel uneasy if they can just Google it, yet may be more willing to trust a medical professional who Googles. Where is the line between learning and Googling, and how does Bloom’s Taxonomy help differentiate? We invite you to try learning-searching tasks, to observe how expertise guides digital literacy. We hope to generate a shared taxonomy of online resources and practices, gathered across universities, and to build a framework of digital literacy for medical students.

"Sustaining medical students' engagement and wellbeing through positive and inclusive learning and behaviour management strategies"
Where/When Thursday 4th July, 0925-1010, Dochart 2 Lead(s): Nikki Boyd
Read More
Medical teachers’ skills in facilitating a positive learning environment, through their effective management of resources, time, group dynamics and the wider demands of clinical-based teaching, can impact significantly on students’ engagement, participation and inclusion within the learning process. Using evidence specific to undergraduate medicine and my own experiences of training medical teachers in positive behaviour management strategies, this event will afford opportunities for colleagues to discuss the main issues in this area and share examples of good and innovative practice (in terms of practical approaches), as well as the priorities and opportunities for further research.
Where/When
Thursday 4th July, 0925-1010, Dochart 2

"Let’s Do Some Ultrasound-Guided Pasta Cannulation…"
Where/When Thursday 4th July, 0925-1010, Alsh 1 Event Lead(s): Ourania Varsou
Read More
The use of ultrasound as an anatomy teaching adjunct is growing at a fast pace, as it allows vocational learners to practise important clinical skills. In this Pop- Up event, we will use our custom-made sonographic phantoms with a portable ultrasound system to practise hands-on scanning along with ‘central venous catheterisation’ of penne pasta. These phantoms are quick, easy and inexpensive to develop using common household materials that can simulate the echogenicity of neck vessels with and without atherosclerotic plaques. We would like to discuss not only the usefulness of educational ultrasound, but also the potential applications of custom-made imaging phantoms.
Where/When
Thursday 4th July, 0925-1010, Alsh 1
Who should attend?
Open to all educationalists with an interest in using ultrasound as a teaching adjunct in educational settings, especially undergraduate vocational degrees,

"Exploring the challenge of delivering accessible CPD to all Healthcare Professionals in a future dominated by climate change"
Where/When Thursday 4th July, 0925-1010, M2 Event Lead(s): Richard Hixson
Read More
All doctors undertake external CPD to retain their license to practice. Evidence suggests however that 70% of healthcare professionals regularly miss educational opportunities, 30% panic book for points rather than content whilst 90% wish to undertake more electronic or local events to minimise time away from home and family.
I wish to present and discuss the challenges and potential solutions for addressing the present ineffective use of study leave time and budget when considering the associated travel/hotel carbon costs which need to be increasingly justified in a world where everyone’s priority must focus on reducing their environmental footprint.
Where/When
Thursday 4th July, 0925-1010, M2
Who should attend?
Healthcare professionals that needs to undertake CPD for appraisal and revalidation. Anyone who has an interested in

Workshops
ASM 2019 Workshop Programme
Wednesday 3rd July - 10:30-12:00
1. Educator Development Committee - Presenting skills for new presenters
Presenting to a large audience at a national conference is challenging particularly for first timers – and we have all been there!
Effective oral communication is a crucial skill for all health professionals, particularly those interested in research who need to explain their work to others.
Often in the clinical environment when less experienced clinicians rehearse their presentation their supervisors concentrate on the content and message of the presentation and overlook the personal style and communications skills of the presenter.
Very few people naturally possess outstanding presentation skills from the outset. Most presenters are anxious about their presentation skills and about handling any questions posed by the “expert” audience. However, practice and receiving specific feedback can improve performance.
This workshop is aimed at those presenting this year at the ASME ASM who would like the opportunity to rehearse. It is expected that you will run through your presentation “in real time” and receive feedback from the panel and from the audience in true constructive educational style!
We are here to help and support you so that you can develop additional confidence in the delivery of your work prior to the “real thing”.
2. Education Research Committee - Support for budding researchers
Are you thinking about starting a new research project, or have you ‘hit the buffers’ on an early existing research project?
Looking for some help, a place to discuss issues or get inspiration?
Experienced members of ASME’s Education Research Committee (ERC) are offering this interactive session to provide support for new ‘meded’ researchers, or those planning to try new directions or methods. You can bring specific questions or issues about your (intended) project to the session and discuss these with researchers and peers who have experience in different fields of educational research.
3. TASME/JASME - Career Pathways in Medical Education
As in previous years, JASME and TASME are joining resources to run our pathways workshop at the ASM 2018. The career pathway in medical education is often convoluted and without established frameworks or traditional positions at the end of it. Unlike a medical specialty, it is almost never a straight line and often a companion to training rather than the sole focus. For more junior attendees of the ASME ASM, whom the future of medical education rests upon, it can be confusing to navigate the various opportunities presented to them, and we hope to alleviate some of this through description of cases from those at different stages of involvement with medical education and take apart some of the difficult terminology surrounding it. Trainees have little exposure to this type of support in training programmes, so this workshop will act as a valuable forum to listen, discuss and form their own career action plans.
This will be a great opportunity to introduce and familiarise newer attendees to the structure of the ASM, ASME as an organisation, and also help further our networks and communications agenda.
This workshop will be interactive and will largely focus on delegates reflecting on their own career goals – short and long-term. They will analyse a number of example PDPs and then begin to formulate their own, using SMART goals. The session will then go on to discuss the areas included in academic CV building, which will hopefully stimulate delegates to reflect on their own CVs and areas they could develop.
Thursday 4th July - 10:40-12:10
1. Masterclass with Prof Annie Cushing - Feedback Conversations for Learning
Feedback is essential for learning. Roleplay is used to practice interactions, reflect on behaviours and identify their effect on outcomes. It offers the opportunity to reinforce effective actions and modify those that are counterproductive.
Reflection ‘in action’ enables choices to be made about next steps. Reflection ‘on action’ assesses the process at the end of the interaction. Unless the learner has the opportunity to repeat and put the new learning into deliberate practice, learning is not consolidated (Kolb, Boud, Ericsson).
All facilitators experience the challenge of when to stop a roleplay for reflection ‘in-action’ and feedback in order to support learners’ progress. They also report finding some students and situations a particular challenge and this workshop will look at some of these interesting examples.
2. Junior Association for the Study of Medical Education - What makes a successful pastoral care programme?
The workshop will be aimed at the full spectrum of attendees at the ASM and will be an interactive, discussion-based session considering the question ‘What makes a successful pastoral support programme?’. The workshop will be run by committee members from the Junior Association for the Study of Medical Education, and will be aimed at individuals who are interested in creating and improving pastoral support systems within their institution – student or professor. The workshop will encourage attendees to reflect upon various current pastoral support programmes, the challenges and benefits each programme presents, and to design their own successful pastoral support programme. The aim is to inspire individuals to get involved in the practical development of pastoral support within their own organisation in order to support student and trainee well-being.
3. Educator Development Programme - Innovative, Interesting and Prize Winning Work
The programme for this session will be confirmed shortly
4. Health Education South London - Using Sparkling Moments and Graphic Medicine, in guided reflective practice for Professional Developement, Resilience and Faculty Development
This workshop offers a Positive Psychology inspired reflective practice that removes the need for words and allows the clinician the freedom to draw, representing a case as picture – a cartoon. Cartoons have been a method of communication from prehistoric times till present day and transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. This peer group reflection enforces a sense of community of practice.
5. University of Leeds - Future proofing clinical placements. How can we transform and develop innovative placements that are sustainable?
Medicine is “best learned within the clinical setting, whether it be by the bedside, in a general practice surgery or during a community placement” (Kopelman 2014). However, for a variety of reasons it is becoming increasingly challenging for medical schools to provide high quality clinical placements that ensure students can meet Outcomes for Graduates. Such challenges include;
• A shift towards community-based healthcare resulting in patients in hospitals being less available for teaching/learning (due to shorter stays and increased complexity)
• Increasingly pressured clinical environments resulting in a difficulty balancing training needs and service provision
• Workforce planning initiatives resulting in increasing numbers of multi-professionals in training requiring appropriate placements
Is the traditional model of the learning environment set to be challenged? Do these changes provide an opportunity to review the most effective way to deliver experiential learning opportunities? As we prepare for the digital future should we be embracing the rise of the simulated environment and could it replace at least part of the traditional clinical placement?
The workshop will facilitate discussion of the challenges that different medical schools face in providing clinical placements to students of all years. It will then explore specific examples from the University of Leeds and other medical schools, across primary, secondary and community care as well as examples of Third Sector initiatives.
It will explore how current placements can be made more sustainable. For example, weekend and evening working with increasing seniority, increased use of non-medical staff especially in primary care and community, and peer teaching especially in lower years.
Areas of placement transformation will be discussed including the introduction of new placements such as radiology and expanding non-traditional placements.
Innovation in placement delivery will be discussed including use of other providers including private providers, personalised placements and the use of simulation.
6. Research Methodology Group - Choosing the appropriate research methodology for your study
The workshop will involve 2-3 members of the RMG providing a justification for their chosen study methodology in a recent project. Workshop participants will work in groups to discuss the pros and cons and debate the applicability of these to their own studies. This will be facilitated by members of the RMG.
7. Mindfulness in Medical Education - How to teach wellbeing skills to medical students: Lesson Plans and Learning Objectives
This workshop will provide participants with a clearer understanding of how to teach medical students about wellbeing. The workshop will include an overview of current wellbeing strategies present in the literature, a case study by the lead of teaching mindfulness to medical students, and consideration of several ‘lesson plans’ for how to teach these skills in this context.
The workshop aims to trigger debate about what encompasses wellbeing, how to teach these complex skills to a specific student population, and consider what some of the challenges might be of doing so. It is also designed to be practical and to encourage participants to feel more confident to teach medical students about wellbeing more effectively.
8. Technology Enhanced Learning - Lights, Camera... Curriculum Mapping System Live and in Action!
This will be an interactive workshop where participants will be guided on the process of curriculum mapping and work through their own examples in order to appreciate the challenges and benefits of mapping. Attendees should be familiar with the principles of outcomes-based curricula, learning outcomes, be familiar with their own programmes and have basic computing skills.
9. AoME - Professional standards for medical educators for the next decade
During this practical workshop, the background and context to the recent growth in the development of professional standards throughout medicine, particularly within medical education, will be presented. The workshop will explore the views of delegates about what they consider to be the most important values and areas of professional activity undertaken by medical educators. It will also attempt to identify whether there have been any significant changes in the key values shared by all medical educators, and the areas of activity routinely undertaken by medical educators at all levels of seniority.
10. Education Research Committee & Prof Tracy Finch - How can theory help us? Exploring Normalization Process Theory (NPT) as a tool for implementing new ideas in practice and education
Educational initiatives can at times be viewed as ‘interventions’ aimed ultimately at changing or improving practices. But how the ‘learning’ gained through education becomes implemented into practice is a complex and difficult area for study. This workshop will focus on a body of work from outside the discipline of medical education – which we hope will stimulate alternative ways of thinking and new ideas.
The workshop will provide participants with an introduction to Normalization Process Theory (NPT) as a tool for thinking through implementation projects, with reference to broader approaches in Implementation Science.
NPT is a theory for understanding the implementation, embedding and integration of new practices, that emphasises the collaborative nature of implementation ‘work’. Through group work, participants will apply and critique NPT based tools for designing, implementing and evaluating innovations in practice. The workshop will provide an opportunity to critique ideas from NPT through application to examples that can include case studies from participants’ own work.
Thursday 4th July - 16:35-18:05
1. Medical Education and Clinical Teacher Journals - Writing for Publication
Writing for publication in health professions education is an important skill, essential in developing an evidence base of practice, for broad dissemination of findings and raising the quality of healthcare education. Peer-review is a defining component of scholarly practice and proof of writing success is often a requirement for promotion when applying for funding and providing evidence of professional impact. However, for both novice and experts alike, writing for publication can be a challenging experience as competition for publication is fierce and the standards in the field continue to rise.
In this workshop journal editors share their experiences and knowledge of the field of publishing. They will aim to provide authors (or potential authors) with a better understanding of what makes a good paper, where the common pitfalls lie with respect to writing and submitting papers, and what goes on ‘behind the scenes’ of the publication process. The potential benefits of unravelling some of the mysteries of the submission and review process include an increased understanding of what it takes to publish in medical education journals specifically and the scientific literature more broadly.
2. Masterclass with Prof Olle ten Cate - Using entrustment-supervision scales in the assessment of clinical trainees
A proper use of entrustable professional activities in clinical training requires entrustment decisions based on assessment. Entrustment can be translated to a scale that incorporates levels of supervision. Several such entrustment-supervision (ES) scale have been proposed and used. This workshop will review these scales. A distinction will be made between retrospective and prospective ES-scales. Participants will be asked to apply both types of scales to imaginary trainees.
3. Trainees in the Association for the Study of Medical Education - Teaching Innovation and Excellence Prize
This is a session of oral presentations for the TIE prize, which celebrates talent and ingenuity by those embarking on a career in medical education. Abstract submissions are assessed and selected on merit ahead of the conference, and judged on the day.
The TIE prize offers a forum to recognise innovation and bolster sustainability in medical education through sharing those experiences.
Our overarching aim is to promote and celebrate educational excellence. We would encourage attendance from anyone who is curious to see contemporary ideas and fresh faces in the world of medical education.
Full programme of this session to follow
5. Educator Development Committee - How to develop and sustain a career in medical education
This workshop is designed for early/ mid-career stage educationalists.
It will explore career pathways in medical education highlighting opportunities and challenges along the way. In particular it will focus on sustainability - how to achieve this through (amongst other things) accessing and building support networks.
6. Gloucestershire Academy, University of Bristol - Messy Play - Exploring the use of creativity...
Early pre-school education focuses on ‘messy play’ as a creative way to learn new skills and ideas. This sensory and hands on approach with its use of creative materials stimulates learning and sparks curiosity in the pre-school students. In medical education there are more limited opportunities for students to get their hands ‘messy’ in this way. Creative play (modelling, painting etc) not only acts as an alternative to more traditional teaching styles but can also encourage our students to be creative problem solvers when they embark upon their clinical work. At Gloucestershire Academy, University of Bristol, we have used a creative modelling element in our teaching through the use of modelling clay and ‘fake blood’ to create wounds and ulcers. Addition of creative play has increased both positive feedback from students and demonstrated improved performance in post teaching evaluation when compared to traditional teaching methods.
This interactive workshops aims to explore the use of creativity in medical education as well as presenting ideas on how to design and deliver an interactive and creative session. There will be an emphasis on participation and the sharing of ideas surrounding creative play in medical education. Participants will have the chance to get their hands ‘messy’ and design their own hands on creative teaching session during the workshop.
7. Resuscitation Council UK - Supporting communities to live well. Establishing a successful community outreach initiative and the hidden benefits
Within the recently published NHS long term plan there is a focus on supporting communities to live well. Medical school community outreach projects can make an important contribution in helping achieve this goal and provide additional benefits for students.
In the UK 1:5 adults will witness someone collapse who needs immediate CPR. Unfortunately in the UK out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival is just 8.6%. Good bystander CPR and early defibrillation are the two biggest factors that affect survival in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. In 2018 the University of Leeds launched ‘Eight Minutes to Save a Life’, a collaborative project which ran in conjunction with, the Resuscitation Council (UK)’s global Restart a Heart Day. The project was delivered jointly by staff and students from the Medical School with support from a number of external organisations.
The purpose of the project was to:
• Promote bystander CPR & AED use among local communities
• Give medical students ‘on the go’ teaching experience with the general public
• Form new and effective partnerships to support future community outreach projects
The project yielded a number of benefits for both the community and medical students involved. The project raised the profile of the Medical School across the city, facilitated the formation of new partnerships, and trained 1100 members of the public to perform CPR & AED. The benefit to students has been to enhance their communication skills, improve their confidence, knowledge and clinical skills whilst gaining valuable teaching experience at an early point in their training.
This workshop will draw on our experience of this project and student evaluation data to consider how community based initiatives can be incorporated into clinical education curricula. The workshop will be delivered in conjunction with the Resuscitation Council UK who have supported this project.
8. Medical Educators Involved in Student Support - Self-help, Apps and Social Prescribing. A workshop to help us help our medical students and trainees
There is a need for effective support at all stages of training, and recent literature reports that exposure and engagement with effective support and development programmes at early stages of the training journey is more likely to result in trainees seeking help when they may need it. It is crucial then than those who support our trainees are aware of the current areas of best practice and resources available.
This workshop will comprise of 4 parts:
- Initial introduction and update on why we need to support our students and trainees
- Group activity exploring current initiatives within UK medical schools
- Three themed stations for participant development and information (all participants will rotate around stations)
- Final discussion and summary of learning
9. Postgraduate Taught Programmes - Collaboration in masters programmes: how do we do it and why is it important?
We know that postgraduate study can be transformational to those who undertake it and that the benefits go far beyond the academic award obtained. This is largely due to the discursive approach adopted in the delivery of these programme. We will discuss how this is approached in our own programmes and encourage other to share their own experiences
