Faculty have experienced significant differences in expectations from their own among contemporary learners regarding orientation to a career as a doctor, balance of the personal and professional, and preferences for learning methods. At a high level this is about the implicit social contract between faculty and learners. At an operational level it has to do with teaching methods suited to adults of generations different than faculty and finding new balances between things like accommodation and performance. Engaging New Learners is a work in progress that entails A) A department statement of philosophy about the social contract between faculty and learners; B) A toolkit of resources for effective pedagogy and faculty development; C) A spread or implementation model for local tailoring and use; D) Faculty development consultation modalities; and E) a tracking and evaluation function.

Specialty disrespect is “one element of the hidden curriculum, encompassing unwarranted, negative, and denigrating comments made by trainees and physicians about different specialties”(Allston 2019). Though negatively impacting our Departments, few know about it or have taken action to reduce it. We’ll define the issue and its impact, share experiences at our home institutions, and interventions that we tried. We’ll focus the discussion on opportunities for collaboration and next steps that Departments can take individually and together.

This breakfast discussion will explore the valuable lessons that can be learned from failure. Through open dialogue and shared experiences, we can collectively identify strategies for overcoming challenges, building resilience, and driving innovation. This discussion will lean into defining failure, embracing vulnerability, identifying root causes, learning from mistakes, and building resilience. By understanding different perspectives on failure, creating a safe space for sharing experiences, analyzing contributing factors, extracting valuable insights, and developing emotional resilience, we can collectively contribute to the advancement of family medicine leaders. Sharing experiences will allow participants to contribute to a collective understanding of failure and its impact on professional growth. Those with less experience can gain valuable insights and strategies from the shared experiences of others. The discussion will reinforce community, support attendees, and nurture collaboration. This presentation aligns with the ADFM's values of excellence, integrity, inclusion, respect, and partnership. By creating a space for open dialogue and shared learning, we can empower each other to overcome challenges, build resilience, and drive positive change.

Harmonizing the missions of the department can sometimes be challenging (Peek, 2024). In particular, the research mission remains siloed in many departments, even when departments have active clinician researchers. At this breakfast discussion, Chairs and Research Directors at two institutions will describe their programs that facilitate the integration of clinical and research missions. Participants will be invited to share their experiences with this challenge as part of the group’s learning.

Previously, Morbidity and Mortality conferences (M&M) at our institution were simply sessions where cases that had a bad outcome were presented and blame was often assigned, with little productive conversation about process improvement. Residents and faculty often left those conferences feeling guilty and more stressed. We have refocused our Morbidity and Mortality conference into one that centers on practice and quality improvement. In our new approach, each case is presented and all cognitive and system issues are addressed with a Fishbone Diagram, with a significant amount of time devoted to the discussion of identified problems and potential solutions. We believe this discussion is the most important part of the presentation. We continually stress our philosophy to our residents that these processes are not meant to be punitive, but are meant to promote self, departmental and systemic introspection to continually build a safe culture for learning and patient care improvement. Our department’s change has led to better teaching opportunities in patient safety and quality improvement to meet ACGME program objectives and to continuously improve the quality of our patient care. With our interventions, we have sought to foster this philosophy in not only our inpatient care but, equally importantly, our outpatient care too. We hope to inspire similar adoption of this process at other academic and non-academic practices.
