An educational tool can be a tool to educate the public, patients, or doctors. It can be in the form of an update article, handout, video, or other media with the main objective to educate. The tool must be accompanied by a report that demonstrates a thorough review of the latest and relevant literature and an appraisal of the quality of evidence. It must also give learners a way to assess their competence. For the sane rationale outline above, educational tools must be developed and delivered through an equity lens, taking into consideration the lived and living experiences , along with the educational needs, of the target population, as informed by them This will reduce the risk of epistemic biases and improve accessibility.
Some educational tool examples:
- CME Update Article
- Educational Patient Video
- Educational Patient Handout
Careful attention must be paid with acknowledging collaborators and co-authors of oppressed populations to avoid the risk of tokenism and appropriation.
Note:
The Program Evaluation Committee would like to ensure that all resident scholar projects that focus on anything relevant to evaluation of the residency program are shared with the program evaluation committee. This could be projects where residents collect their own data about resident experiences, or projects that use departmental data, to evaluate various aspects of the program.
Please ensure you use ‘evaluation’ or ‘program evaluation’ in your keywords so that these papers can be searched in the online journal. Please also forward your final paper to: fmprpostgrad.research@familymed.ubc.ca
We will then use these findings to help improve the program.
This is an important part of end-of-project knowledge translation that serves to help the program with quality improvement and ensures residents are aware that their scholar project efforts are important contributions to our program. If you would like past resident scholar projects relating to Program Evaluation, please also send your request to: fmprpostgrad.research@familymed.ubc.ca
