A Day in the Life of the CCC: An Annual Resident Workshop to Develop a Culture of Professionalism

Course Overview

It is a common belief that professionalism is a core measure for all successful physicians. In recent years in graduate medical education, professionalism has become one of the key competencies that must be achieved in order to succeed. Despite this continued understanding of its importance, many programs continue to struggle with learners who appear to violate or cause a breach in professionalism. To decrease these breaches and create a general consensus around expectations of professionalism, one recommendation is developing a common culture in the learning environment.

We have designed a flipped classroom workshop for our residents where they get to act as the Clinical Competency Committee (CCC). In small groups they are presented with real-life scenarios containing breaches of professionalism. As the CCC, they are then tasked to evaluate what could have contributed to the breach in professionalism from a systems standpoint and a resident standpoint. The residents strategize what remediation should be developed for the learner. Faculty leaders help guide the small groups in their discussion and are available as references. Afterwards, a representative presents their findings to the larger group.

This conference session will utilize small group to allow attendees to learn the skills of facilitating the flipped classroom design. Attendees will leave with curriculum that includes common situations reviewed by CCC's that they can adapt at their home institutions.
