Lansing Community Graduate Medical Education

Annual Report 2007-2008

The 2007-2008 academic year was a very exciting one for the residency and fellowship programs served by CHM’s Lansing Community Campus. Our training programs continued their success in attracting highly qualified trainees. Current residents and fellows distinguished themselves through their clinical work, publication of original research, and presentations at regional and national meetings. Program faculty also displayed excellence in teaching and in mentoring their “charges”. And program directors continued their expert leadership, directing our programs through difficult budgetary times while adhering to each of their program’s rigorous training requirements.

This report will summarize the activities of the Assistant Dean’s office and each of our training programs, highlighting the educational and research activities of our trainees and faculty. The greater Lansing community should be proud to have our programs delivering excellent care to the community at the same time that they are advancing the medical knowledge of our trainees and furthering research in medicine.

Assistant Dean’s Report

The past academic year was one of tremendous change in the Lansing community. Along with transition in the Assistant Dean’s office, we saw many changes in leadership and sponsorship of our training programs. At the same time, the Lansing medical community has been faced with difficult budget decisions, reflective in part of trying financial times within our area. Despite this, our programs have continued to provide excellent education to our residents and fellows and continue to adhere to the highest standards of education as set forth by the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education. Highlights of the academic year are as follows:

1. The year began with a transition in leadership within the Graduate Medical Education office. The Associate Dean for GME, Dianne Wagner, MD, assumed the position of Associate Dean for College-Wide Assessment, and the Director of Medical Education, Lyn Farquhar, Ph.D., left to pursue other opportunities. As part of the college’s expansion to the Grand Rapids campus, Peter Coggan, MD, replaced Dr. Wagner as Associate Dean with his office in Grand Rapids. A new position, the Assistant Dean for Graduate Medical Education, was created and filled by Randolph L. Pearson, MD.

2. The director of the Internal Medicine Residency, Davoren Chick, MD, left the program and was replaced by Heather Laird-Fick, MD. Dr. Laird-Fick began an effort, along with faculty of the Sparrow Health System Osteopathic Internal Medicine Residency, to more closely align the programs. This has resulted in a joined program, ultimately with shared faculty and resources. Peter Gulick, DO, is the current director of the Osteopathic Internal Medicine program.

3. The director of the MSU Surgery Residency, Keith Apelgren, MD, resigned and was replaced by Andrew Saxe, MD, as interim director. Permanent director for the program will be named after conclusion of the department’s chair search.

4. The director of the MSU Pediatric Residency, Peter Jennings, MD, announced his resignation, effective August, 2008. He will be replaced on an interim basis by Yakov Sigal, MD.

5. Multiple changes in sponsorship are in transition over the coming years. All of the Internal Medicine Residency and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation positions will be financially supported by Sparrow Health System.

6. Residency Review Committee reviews and reports were submitted for a number of programs.

a. The Electrophysiology Fellowship received notice of two-year accreditation.

b. The Hematology and Oncology Fellowship was reviewed in October, 2007, and given a one-year accreditation.

c. The Psychiatry Residency was reviewed in October, 2007, and given a full five-year accreditation.

d. The Surgery Residency was notified in February, 2008, that they were placed on probation. Repeat visit from the RRC will occur in two years.

e. The Infectious Disease and Endocrinology Fellowships were reviewed in June, 2008, and their reports are pending.

We will be faced with many challenges in the upcoming year. However, the quality of our trainees and the commitment of our faculty will help us meet the challenges and continue our excellent training and excellent care to the Lansing community.

Heather Laird Fick, MD, Program Director

Academic Year Highlights:

1. Heather Laird-Fick, MD was named program director to replace Davoren Chick, MD, who left to pursue other opportunities. Under Dr. Laird-Fick’s leadership, the program has moved to become dually accredited by the ACGME and the AOA. The current osteopathic program director is Peter Gulick, DO.

2. Parallel Accreditation/Program Merger: Our program began the process of merging with the Sparrow Osteopathic Internal Medicine Residency in August 2007. The new combined program received approval for increased number of positions from both the ACGME and AOA. This process included significant coordination of effort, revision and addition of rotations (such as inpatient ward experiences), coordination of recruiting processes, and communication to accomplish. The first merged or parallel accredited class begins July 2008.

3. Plans for new teaching rounds: The ACGME requires 4.5 hours of teaching per week above and beyond that required for patient care during inpatient internal medicine rotations. In the past, the residency has utilized three, 1.5 hour sessions per week over the lunch period. There has been mounting dissatisfaction with these sessions on the part of residents and attending physicians for a number of reasons. During early 2008, an alternate plan for teaching sessions was designed and piloted. Under the new format, residents will participate in teaching sessions for 3.5 hours divided over four mornings per week. The Monday, Wednesday, Friday sessions will engage participants in case-based discussions with bedside teaching. Residents will be evaluated using mini-CEXes. The Thursday sessions will emphasize systems based practice, ethics, and clinical pharmacology. The additional 1 hour per week of teaching required by the ACGME will be incorporated into the management attending rounds.

4. Match Results: We completed a successful Match for the incoming class of 2008-09, coordinating both the osteopathic and allopathic match processes. We matched one candidate and scrambled for a second in the osteopathic match. This was an anticipated likelihood, as the parallel accreditation had not been formally approved prior to the recruiting season. We had one allopathic pre-match, and filled the remaining nine slots within the top 1/3 of our rank order list.

5. Fellowship Match Results: We had an outstanding fellowship match this year. Of nine applicants, six matched into their specialty choice (see below). One has decided to remain within general internal medicine, one is applying for a single year fellowship for AY 2009-10 with plans to re-apply for cardiology fellowship, and the other is applying for research fellowships with plans to re-apply for cardiology fellowship.

• Karnchanasorn, Rudruidee: Endocrinology fellowship, University of California – Los Angeles

• Latif, Sahibzada: Gastroenterology fellowship, University of Alabama- Birmingham

• Mukerji, Siddharth: Cardiology fellowship, University of Texas-Houston

6. Picker Institute Challenge Grant: Dr’s. Laird-Fick, Smith and Dwamena received one of four Picker Institute Challenge Grants specified for graduate medical education projects. This is a prestigious and highly competitive grant program. The three, working closely with leadership and staff members at Sparrow Hospital, will implement and evaluate their project, “Patient-Centered Training of Residents on a Medical Ward,” during AY 2008-09.

7. Curricular Dissemination: Our core competency and rotation curricula, including the PGY1 Ambulatory and PGY3 Ambulatory Surgical Subspecialties, continue to be used as references or templates for a number of residency programs across the country.

8. Facilities: The program was able to work with the Sparrow Director of GME to identify a new call room for the ICU senior resident, and a new resident lounge space for all programs to use beginning sometime in 2008-09.

9. New discovery. Dr.’s Kiran Sarikonda (faculty) and Rubens Ribeiro helped discover a new form of hemoglobin that will be dubbed Hemoglobin Lansing. They sent a patient’s blood off for additional analyses at the Mayo Clinic after finding an unusual form of hemoglobin on electrophoresis in a patient admitted to Sparrow Hospital with an unrelated complaint. Scientists at Mayo Clinic worked to describe the chemical structure of the new hemoglobin. Dr.’s Sarikonda and Ribeiro have maintained contact with the Mayo group, and publication of the discovery is pending.

Goals for upcoming year:

Integration of programs: Although much of the groundwork was laid for the dually accredited program in AY 2007-08, success still depends on ongoing communication and coordination of effort. This includes redesigning the website, residency materials, and recruitment process to reflect the merger; coordinating two sets of administrative staff; educating attending physicians about the evaluation and documentation requirements for the osteopathic accreditation; and acculturating the residents, faculty and staff. Dr.’s Laird-Fick and Gulick are working closely with Carol Parker Lee and the GMEI staff on website and recruiting efforts specifically.

.

Picker Institute Challenge Grant: The program will be implementing the grant proposal, “Patient-Centered Training of Residents on a Medical Ward,” during AY 2008-09. The grant proposal requires some restructuring of the educational activities, particularly during the FIRM rotations, and will require a total of 0.2 FTE of key faculty time to implement. It also requires significant coordination with Sparrow Hospital to develop an academic ward on 8South. The results of the project will be presented at the spring ACGME meeting in Dallas, Texas at the request of the ACGME and Picker Institute. We anticipate developing a resource manual to disseminate the curriculum, as well as submitting presentations and publications based upon our experiences and research results.

Contact with Subspecialty Programs: As the core program has transitioned out of IRMC, we must be very sensitive to the level of contact between the core residents and the hematology/oncology fellows. Hematology/Oncology is a required senior-level rotation, and our residents work closely with the fellows at the Breslin Cancer Center. The MSU Hematology/Oncology program now sees consults at Sparrow Hospital as well, as part of the duties of the fellows’ inpatient consult experience. Residents on the Hem/Onc rotation will see these consults with the fellows. We are looking at ways to increase contact through didactics and research as well. We have increased the number of fellows providing didactic talks to the core program across all fellowship programs for 2008-09 already.

Core competency highlight:

1. Patient care

Night Float residents complete two mini-CEXes with attending physicians per 2 week Night Float block. After morning report, the resident meets with the attending physician to complete a mini-CEX focusing on data gathering/history, physical exam, medical decision making, and/or counseling. Each encounter takes 15-30 minutes, including feedback. The attending physician documents the interaction in the residency’s web-based evaluation system.

2. Medical knowledge

All of our residents are required to participate in the Board Review lecture series. From September through June, topics are assigned on a 2-4 week block basis. The chief resident and guest attending physicians review MKSAP questions and answers with the group. At the end of each section, the residents take a MKSAP-based exam. The minimum passing scores vary for junior (PGY-1) and senior (PGY-2 and -3) residents. All residents must pass 60% of the examinations to complete the requirements for that academic year.

3. Practice-based learning and improvement

The junior residents worked with Dr. Julie Felt at Sparrow Hospital to learn more about Practice Improvement activities at the hospital during their required ambulatory rotation. Dr. Felt reviewed the basic tenets of practice improvement with them, and had them review a series of charts for the congestive heart failure project. The residents were also required to write a brief paper focusing on practice improvement. In addition, the junior residents have to review five clinic charts for compliance with hypertension treatment goals as part of the ambulatory rotation, and suggest changes in evaluation or management if the patient is not at goal. Both activities are required elements of the rotation.

4. Interpersonal and communications skills

All of our residents are required to complete a 4-week rotation in psychosocial medicine. Among other things, this rotation emphasizes relationship centered interviewing and communication skills. Residents are required to tape record and analyze interactions with patients, and participate in psychosocial rounds in the hospital. These rounds are supervised by Dr.’s Robert Smith and Francesca Dwamena, who collectively have been organizing the rotation for more than 20 years. The residents routinely evaluate this as one of the best rotations in the residency program.

5. Professionalism

Professionalism is emphasized throughout all residency experiences. The required psychosocial rotation provides one example. The rotation is designed to address important professionalism attitudes, behaviors and skills particularly those involving the medical interview, caring for somatic disorders, and counseling. The rotation also includes a small group discussion series on ethics topics.

6. Systems-based practice: The MSU FIRM (general internal medicine ward) service residents work with an academic case manager, Angela Schmalbach. Ms. Schmalbach attends morning reports and coordinates discharge planning with the residents. She also educates them about systems issues such as medical insurance coverage, admission criteria, length of stay/DRGs, etc., as part of the morning report teaching. The Night Float residents meet with her to perform a chart-simulated review regarding admission criteria and order writing as well.

• Dr. Abela – Top Cardiologists of the year; Madison’s Who’s Who

Goals for upcoming year:

• Hiring new attendings is a major goal and challenge.

Core competency highlight:

1. Patient care

All patients are seen by the attending in both the out-patient clinics and in the hospital. Direct observation of fellows examining patients occurs during cases when both attending and fellow are together. Also, all procedures are monitored by an attending while fellows are performing cardiac catheterization including Swan-Ganz insertion, trans-esophageal echo, and on occasion trans-thoracic echos as well.

2. Medical Knowledge

Board Review Courses are provided to all fellows. There is a weekly cardiology grand rounds where a topic is presented. These include core lectures at the beginning of the year. These are presented by attendings. Later in the year, fellows present various topics. Echo conference and EKG conference that is set up in the format of the board questions. There is a bi-weekly journal club where the fellow presents a paper with a formal slide presentation that is followed by an analysis and discussion. There is a monthly pathology conference with Dr. Shirley Siew reviewing histological and morphological specimens of various cardiovascular conditions.

3. Practice-based learning and improvement

There is a weekly Friday morning conference where a specific case is discussed and then relevant articles are provided related to the case. These include problem cases and discussion is related to management issues. Similarly, a weekly catheterization conference is presented and complications of specific cases are shown with an in depth discussion of those issues. This is a multi-disciplinary including cardio-thoracic surgery and cardiology.

4. Interpersonal and communications skills

A monitored study will be conducted on the pager response time. The officially designated response time is within 15 min. We will page fellows randomly and a response time determined. If in excess of the expected response, feedback to the fellows will be provided.

5. Professionalism

There is a 360 degree feedback on professional behavior. On any occasion that a fellow does not seem to be complying with the appropriate professional behavior, there is a meeting held to address the issue. Likewise a similar feedback is provided to the attending based on any unprofessional behavior.

6. Systems-based practice

A system was developed with the participation of one of the fellows related to a “rapid response pager” that is activated when an acute myocardial infarction comes into the emergency department. Once this system is activated the fellow carrying that pager will respond any time, day or night. This is the first step in the cascade that then leads to activation of the cardiac catheterization laboratory and alerting the interventional attending. This is designed to help reduce delays in delivery of care to patients with acute cardiac events.

Finally, work hours. Our fellows take call from home. However it is possible that they may be in the hospital all night. Given such a circumstance, we have provided fellows who have had such night shifts to leave for home the next day by noon. We will provide a back up from a fellow on the non-invasive service or other services as needed. Also, we now do not have the fellow on Clinical I service, our busiest service to take call during the week but rather give them only one day and night call over the weekend. This has greatly reduced the stress on the Clinical 1 service.

Honors (resident and faculty):

No report

Goals for upcoming year:

Our challenge remains that we have insufficient number of faculty members. We need at least one more (and preferably two) full time faculty members, in the Division of Endocrinology.

Core competency highlight:

1. Patient care

No report

2. Medical knowledge

No report

3. Practice-based learning

Fellows are routinely questioned when on the management rounds. This provides the fellows and the faculty an idea of the medical knowledge of the fellows. The fellows are asked to present at our weekly "core conference". To prepare for their presentation, they are required to perform a current literature search which provides them with an idea of their current medical knowledge. We also incorporate in our "core conference" series a self assessment program provided by the Endocrine Society and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists. This exercise allows us to identify knowledge gaps and also provides an opportunity for the fellows to direct their learning to remedy their knowledge gaps.

4. Communications skills

ndocrinology service predominantly functions as a consultation service. Therefore, opportunities for our fellows to function as team members and team leaders are rather limited. However, in the diabetes clinic our fellows work with nurse practitioners, diabetes educators and nutritionists. The care of the patients is thus coordinated between the fellows (always backed by a faculty person) and the nurse practitioner.

5. Professionalism

Professional behavior is modeled by the faculty as far as interaction with patients and their families, staff, and other health care professionals. Ethical behavior is constantly emphasized not only in the patient care, but other aspects of life. If issues of "ethical concerns" arise, they are discussed between the fellows and the attendings at the clinical case conferences. If a particularly difficult situation should arise, we plan to have consultants from the MSU Center for Ethics and Humanities come and discuss these with us on an as needed basis.

6. Systems-based practice

System based practice is learned through a variety of mechanisms. One of our fellows serves as a representative to the Graduate Medical Education Committee (GMEC). At least once a year the issues of patient safety and system based practice are discussed in this committee, so that the fellows become familiar with these issues.

Secondly, the fellows learn to navigate the system on a case by case basis. For example, recently we encountered a patient who could not afford any of her medications for the treatment of hypocalcemia. Our fellow was able to contact a social worker at the hospital and was able to secure some medications for her. This patient also made frequent visits to the Emergency Room due to hypocalcemia. Since this patient required frequent calcium infusion, the fellow was advised to contact the infusion center. She was able to arrange with the infusion center of the hospital for the patient to receive calcium infusion, thus essentially eliminating her emergency room visits and netting substantial cost savings.

The fellows also coordinate the care of patients after discharge from the hospital, when follow-up is needed in the Endocrine/Diabetes clinic. Similarly they also coordinate the care, if patients need procedures in Radiology (1-123 uptake/scan) or treatment with 1-131 for hyperthyroidism.

In addition our nurses have educated our fellows on how some very expensive medications can be obtained for patients who cannot afford these through the programs sponsored by pharmaceutical companies. Some of our patients with acromegaly are receiving Sandostatin through the pharmaceutical company which they otherwise could not afford.

Goals for upcoming year:

1. Retaining key faculty

2. Helping junior faculty develop their research interest and become productive. This will insure that the publication record of key faculty is not cited by the next ACGME review.

Core competency highlight:

1. Patient care

No Report

2. Medical knowledge

No Report

3. Practice-based learning

One of the learning activities in which the fellow's strengths, deficiencies and limits in their knowledge and expertise are evaluated is their presentations at the Michigan State University's Hematology/Oncology Seminar. The goal of this exercise is to help the fellow learn how to present a "State of the Art" lecture on a hematology/oncology topic of their choice.

The fellow must choose a hematology/oncology topic that is focused enough so that primary reports as well as review articles can be used in a logical presentation. Through the use of Michigan State University's electronic library the fellow must assemble a bibliography using one of several medical databases that rely on the national library of medicine. Primary reports as well as review articles from peer reviewed journals are reviewed.

The information from these readings is then organized into a logical lecture. In addition, fellows are encouraged to use appropriate graphics to either introduce the audience to a new concept such as a biochemical signal transduction pathway or survival data from a clinical trial evaluating new therapies. The use of "PowerPoint" is encouraged. Fortunately, the fellows are facile with computer retrieval of specific information and the use of "PowerPoint" slides.

These lectures are critiqued by Dr. Schwartz and other faculty members. Usually, fellows have problems with organizing and assembling data into a clearly understandable format. Occasionally, concepts and facts that are presented reflect poor understanding by the fellow. Learning and improvement goals are then set for the fellow's subsequent presentations.

These exercises in learning how to collect, assimilate, organize and present information are skills that the fellow will use in part or together for the rest of their medical care. Life-long learning is enabled by helping the fellows develop the skills necessary for finding and incorporating new information. Fellows who have trained in the program have voluntarily given very positive feedback for teaching them how to prepare for and deliver a focused lecture. I believe it is true that the person who learns the most from a lecture is the lecturer.

4. Communications skills

Fellows must rotate through the in-hospital rotation that takes care of the MSU Hematology and Oncology hospitalized patients. In addition, consultations are provided for other hospital groups such as surgery, general medicine and intensive care units. During this in-hospital rotation fellows develop skills that competently allow them to effectively communicate with patients, families, physicians, other health professionals and health related agencies.

5. Professionalism

Professional behavior by fellows and faculty is promoted via role modeling. Senior faculty as well as experienced oncology nurses demonstrate appropriate professional behavior in their interactions with patients and health care colleagues.

Professional behavior is modeled in the outpatient clinic, during in-hospital rotations, during educational lectures, journal club and other attending fellow interactions. It is also passed down from second and third year fellows to fellows beginning the program. It may be demonstrated as simply as an unstated standard of dress or a greeting or a polite thank you. Our experienced oncology nurses also help faculty and fellows promote professional behavior. These seasoned health care professionals serve as role models that faculty and fellows either consciously or subconsciously emulate.

Faculty serve as role models demonstrating for fellow’s appropriate professional behavior. Modeling occurs during interactions with patients, nurses and other health care professionals. This is also demonstrated during educational and other meetings when faculty displays the polite way to disagree with a colleague. It is the job of the supervising attending to correct breaches of professional behavior as they occur.

6. Systems-based practice

Fellows attend tumor boards at the different hospitals and tumor multidiscipline clinics. Surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, radiation therapists, psychologists and medical oncologists attend these conferences. A particular patient is discussed with the group coming to a consensus as to the best diagnostic and therapeutic plan. It is during these experiences that fellows learn how to work effectively in inter-professional teams to enhance the quality and safety of the patient's care.

Learning about systems based practice is integrated into the fellow's patient care experiences. Faculty, social workers, discharge planers and physicians from other disciplines help with this aspect of the fellows' education.
