Faculty Development Program
The 6th Annual Faculty Development Course will be held on Saturday-Sunday, February 9-10, 2013 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport Hotel in Orlando, FL.
5th Annual Faculty Development Course – February 11-12, 2012 held at the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport Hotel, Orlando, FL
Program Description
Program Directors and Faculty are called upon to be skilled in a great number of different areas. Residency training prepares physicians to be knowledgeable and skillful at procedures, good communicators, and effective at multi-tasking. Rarely, however, does it prepare physicians to be educators and program administrators.
Faculty development is a term used to describe growth as educators. The goal of the faculty development programs is to provide a guide for Program Directors and Faculty to advance their skills as educators and program administrators.
Course Purpose
The AOCOO-HNS is committed to providing the highest quality continuing education by developing, monitoring and maintaining administrative and educational standards for residency program directors and faculty. Consistent with this goal is the recognition that continuing education is essential. The faculty development programs sponsored by the AOCOO-HNS are designed to assist in keeping the program directors and their training faculty informed of pertinent administrative and educational information.
The scope of this faculty development program offered by the AOCOO-HNS is a result of the training requirements of the American Osteopathic Association, recommendations from the Specialty Colleges residency evaluating committees, recommendations from the AOCOO-HNS Education Planning Committee, as well as recommendations from previous faculty development course attendees.

“Quality Improvement Projects in Residency Education: Analyzing the Data and Publishing the Results”
This is a follow-up session to the 2011 presentation describing Quality Improvement studies as part of the residents’ Practice-Based Learning and Improvement competency. Strategies to prepare and submit these studies for publication as part of the residents’ scholarly activity requirement will be discussed.

“Designing Standardized Curriculum Content and Instructional Materials”
This presentation focuses on a step-by-step process for developing a standardized curriculum utilizing a development template. This process will help program directors complete a gap analysis of their current curriculum and determine the most appropriate instructional tools to fill those gaps. Recommendations for implementation of standardized curriculum will also be included, as well as how to evaluate curricula.
Learning Objectives: Complete a gap analysis of curriculum; write learning objectives for curriculum content that are measurable; and select and develop appropriate instructional tools to meet the learning objectives.
N. LYNN BARNES, Med, Former Director of Self-Assessment Programs, American College of Physicians
“Developing Self-Assessment Tools for Independent Learning”
The new duty hours restrictions make it more important for program directors to emphasize independent reading and studying outside the formal didactic and patient care time. As program directors select instructional tools for standardized curricula, they should include tools for residents’ self-directed learning that will allow each resident to evaluate and meet their specific educational needs.
Learning Objectives: Select instructional tools residents can use to assess and meet their individual learning needs, and develop appropriate tests for measuring independent learning.
STEVEN F. HABUSTA, DO, MEd, Director of Osteopathic Medical Education and Adjunct Clinical Professor, Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine
“Conducting Clinical Research in the Community Hospital Setting”
The goal of this session is to provide program directors with techniques and methods for developing and conducting research.
Learning Objectives: Discuss research in the community based hospital residency program; discuss the purpose of research and evidence-based medicine, and how to formulate research design; discuss how to develop resources for research data, how to complete IRB approval, how to find financial resources, and how to complete projects and submit them for publication.

“Federal Funding for GME: Critical Developments for 2012 and Beyond”
This session provided current information regarding Medicare statutes and CMS rules and regulations regarding the GME reimbursement to hospitals for residents and fellows (e.g., DGME & IME payments). The information will help directors as they plan their program operations and discuss funding of the residency programs with hospital administrators and OPTI officials. It will also provide information relative to ambulatory training, focusing on the CMS teaching supervision rule for residents and the requirement for a signed agreement between the supervising physician and the program. Finally, this presentation will review any changes in the Medicare GME financing mechanism driven by Congress’ cuts to reduce the debt and overspending.

“Teaching and Evaluating the OPP Competency: Promoting the Osteopathic Difference”
This presentation will focus on effective methods of teaching the OPP competency and evaluating the residents’ competence in this curriculum requirement.
Learning Objectives: Review several sources contributing to the challenge of teaching and assessing OPP; review OPP teaching options; and review an evaluation tool useful for determining resident progress and providing feedback.

Ophthalmology Presenter: SIDNEY K. SIMONIAN, DO, Ophthalmology Program Director, St. John-Oakland Hospital
Otolaryngology Presenter: WAYNE K. ROBBINS, DO, Otolaryngology Program Director, Genesys Medical Center
“Developing Resident Promotion Criteria for Each OGME Year: A Hands-On Workshop”
Ophthalmology Evaluation Form for Each OGME Year
Ophthalmology ACGME Minimum Numbers for 2012
Otolaryngology Evaluation Form for Each OGME Year
Otolaryngology Post Graduate Competency Evaluation for Each Year
Otolaryngology Curriculum Objectives
Otolaryngology Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills
Otolaryngology ACGME Case Log Coding Recommendations
Program directors face the challenge of developing the criteria to determine what a resident must accomplish at the completion of each training year. This criteria should be linked to the competencies and contain measurable performance benchmarks to determine whether or not a resident should be promoted. In addition, cumulative data can be used to determine when a resident reaches competence and/or how well the resident maintains competence. This working session will help program directors develop the criteria and the benchmarks.
