Effective Strategies to Maximize Student Match Success through Career Advising and Development
This interactive workshop presented by the Council on Residency Placement (CORP) will examine and present best practices on the transition from undergraduate medical education to graduate medical education (GME), focusing on the residency selection and matching participation processes. The target audience is osteopathic medical school student advisors, academic affairs personnel, deans and faculty, administrators, program directors, program coordinators and others who interact and advise students in the residency selection and matching process. It is designed to facilitate a robust discussion around how to best advise students to succeed in the residency matches, identify tools and resources to make the transition successful, discuss national data and trends on enhancing match success, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the residency recruitment and selection process.
Objectives

Innovative Technology-Assisted Faculty Development
This workshop will provide opportunities for audience members to learn about innovations in technology-assisted faculty development (TAFD) and how they aid in providing effective, barrier-free, customized on-demand resources for multiple needs and audiences. Innovations from three schools will be described including Just in Time Training (JiTT) mobile technologies, automated faculty development/CME, and online programming including blogs, podcasts, and YouTube. Participants will not only be exposed to the technologies but also the design templates, processes, procedures, mechanisms, pros/cons, tip/tricks and so on that are used or important to these technologies. Success measures in the form of usage, satisfaction, and testimonials will be shared. The power of this workshop is that participants will get to explore multiple technology-assisted faculty development options and the success of each to help them pick a technology to try at their home institution. The skills learned in this workshop can be used for solutions beyond faculty development.
Objectives:
- Describe the elements of faculty development that are challenging and how technology assisted faculty development can meet those challenges.
- Outline at least three new innovations in faculty development including JiTT mobile technologies, automated faculty development/CME, or online learning technologies such as blogging or YouTube.
- Discuss the success and pros/cons of each of these new innovations in faculty development.
