Helping You Help Them: Innovative Strategies to Remediation: A Case Based Workshop

As internal medicine programs continue to refine and improve their assessment processes, more and more residents are being identified for performance improvement andremediation. Crafting individualized and achievable plans for struggling residents is challenging when starting from scratch. This workshop brings the experience of program leaders from three different internal medicine residency programs to explore strategies that will help programs develop their own remediation/coaching plans. Through an interactive small-group exercise, participants will review a case series that dissects key components involved throughout the remediation process. Workshop presenters will guide participants through commonly experienced challenges and innovative solutions. The outcomes of these real cases will be reviewed and best practices will be highlighted. Balancing resident wellness and remediation will also be explored. Finally, we will lead a discussion around new ideas both inside remediation and potential ways to avoid remediation via early intervention with coaches.
