Instructional Grants Program - Funded Proposals
The Instructional Grants Program awards grants to fund innovative projects to improve teaching and learning at UCSF. The program combines the Instructional Improvement Projects (IIP) grants and the Instructional Technology Development (ITD) grants to fund a wide range of projects in all aspects of education.
Multimedia Instruction of Cardiac Arrhythmia Mechanisms II Melvin M. Scheinman, MD, Professor, Cardiac Electrophysiology, School of Medicine This project will expand upon the arrhythmia tutorial developed for 3rd and 4th year medical students on rotation in the Cardiac Electrophysiology Department. To complement the material covered in the existing tutorial, an interactive module will help students in the process of analyzing unknown ECG tracings and building "ladder" diagrams. Translating Knowledge into Practice: The Behavioral Medicine Point-of-Care Toolbox Sara L. Swenson, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor; Lisanne Burkholder, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor; Jason Satterfield, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor; Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine Dr. Swenson and her collaborators will develop a web-based tool for use by students and residents during the clinical encounter to improve their skills and comfort in diagnosing and treating mental illness and effecting behavioral change. This outline "Toolbox" will assist learners to cement concepts learned in didactic sessions. Cyber Mentoring in Gerontological Nursing: Meeting the Needs of Our Preceptors Lynda A. Mackin, RN, CS, MS, ANP, Assistant Clinical Professor, School of Nursing; Physiological Nursing, Gerontological Advanced Practice Nursing Program The primary objective of this project is to develop an educational and communication resource (using WebCT) for Gerontological Advanced-Practice Nursing clinical preceptors. The specific aims are to increase communication with preceptors; to provide a resource and source of continuing education credits for preceptors; and to promote the development of preceptor/mentorship skills. Likelihood Ratio Calculator Roni Zeiger, M.D., Resident, Internal Medicine/Primary Care, Division of General Internal Medicine, Department of Medicine; Jeffrey A. Tice, M.D., Assistant Adjunct Professor of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine The proposed Likelihood Ratio Calculator will provide trainees with a tool on their handheld computers containing evidence-based likelihood ratios for common diagnostic tests. When the user selects a test and pre-test probability, the calculator provides the post-test probability. Development of a WebCT Module for a Multidisciplinary Clerkship in Clinical Toxicology Thomas E. Kearney, PharmD., Clinical Professor of Pharmacy and Managing Director, California Poison Control System - SF Division The California Poison Control System will develop a WebCT platform to administer and teach a clinical clerkship in Toxicology. The modules will utilize a multimedia venue of illustrative cases, lectures, and linked quizzes. Students and preceptors will evaluate the program to measure improvements in learning and ease of administration. Web-based Instruction of Advanced Clinical Procedures Jeffrey Tabas, M.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine, Emergency Services, SFGH; Hugh Patterson, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor of Anatomy, Department of Anatomy; Carol S. Hodgson, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine, Director, Office of Educational Research and Development, UCSF School of Medicine; Malkeet Gupta, MS4; Joanne Feldman, MS4; UCSF School of Medicine Dr. Tabas and colleagues will develop a web-based curriculum to provide online instruction in six emergency procedures -- internal jugular, subclavian, and femoral vein catherterization; tube thoracostomy; sapheous vein cutdown; and emergency cricothytomy -- emphasizing clinically relevant anatomy, techniques to minimize risk, technical skills, and common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Teaching Clinical Psychiatry through Web-based Case Modules Sudha Prathikanti, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor, SFGH Department of Psychiatry These Web-based interactive clinical psychiatry case modules will provide a unique and long-overdue means of teaching psychiatric assessment skills to primary care residents. Making ample use of video-clip vignettes, and taking a familiar algorithmic approach to differential diagnosis and treatment, interactive modules will guide trainees in "working up" common outpatient psychiatric complaints. A Web-enhanced Course for Teaching Cultural Issues in Health Care in a Multidisciplinary Context Shelley R. Adler, Ph.D., Assistant Adjunct Professor, Anthropology, History, and Social Medicine Dr. Adler will design, implemement, and evaluate a WebCT-enhanced, multidisciplinary course on cultural issues in health care. Developing a new multimedia platform for an existing successful instructional program will enable the integration of innovative content, processes, and resources in a format accessible to students in all four Schools. Cadaver Lab and Web-based Instruction of Musculoskeletal Physical Exam Hugh Patterson, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor, Department of Anatomy; Calvin Chou, M.D., Ph.D., Director, SFVAMC Medical Consultation Service; Kimberly Topp, P.T., Ph.D., Associate Professor, Anatomy and Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Science Training medical students to do a competent physical exam of the spine and limbs requires that the students have a thorough grounding in the relevant anatomy and have the opportunity to practice the skills involved. Currently, students learn the anatomy of the spine and limbs in the first year with little or no review in subsequent years. To improve this part of the curriculum, we plan to develop a series of web-based, standardized resources to teach elements of the musculoskeletal physical exam. An Integrated Workshop and Web-based Program for Preceptor Development in the Context of the New Medical School Curriculum William B. Shore, M.D., Professor of Family and Community Medicine, Director, Office of Community-Based Education; Cynthia Irvine, M.Ed., Jane Phillips, M.D., Lowell Tong, M.D., Mitchell Feldman, M.D., Maria Wamsley, M.D., Margo Vener, M.D. We plan to develop a Community-based Education website, integrated with regional preceptor development workshops, focusing upon the new medical school curriculum. Preceptor familiarity with curricular changes is critical to providing appropriate clinical correlations for students. Our proposal uses the new curriculum as an opportunity for expanded preceptor communications and development. Testing Testing: Improved Approaches to Assess Student Progress Linda S. Mitteness, Ph.D., Professor in Residence, Department of Anthropology, History and Social Medicine, School of Medicine This project will develop better integrative approaches for assessing student critical thinking skills, knowledge and application of cultural and behavioral materials. A variety of approaches will be identified through the pedagogical literature, refinded and tested both in the classroom and outside, and then distributed to course co-directors via guidelines and faculty development sessions.
