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.
Computer-based Teaching and Testing of 12-Lead ECG for Medical Students and House Officers Interpretation Jeff Kohlwes, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, Director PRIME Residency Program, Associate Program Director of Internal Medicine Residency Training Program The current, paper-based ECG curriculum for residents at UCSF will be adapted for high-resolution, computer-based display that uses onscreen calipers, six-second ruler, and ladder diagram for analysis. The same online display for teaching will also allow for remote testing of ECG interpretation skills, using a validated test. Developing a Benchmarking and Outcomes Reporting System for Graduate Medical Education Programs: An Evidence-Based Approach to Educational Improvement Bridget O'Brien, PhD, Assistant Adjunct Professor of Medical Education, Medicine Although most graduate medical education programs collect multiple forms of data for accreditation purposes, there is no system in place to efficiently and effectively use these data to help improve the educational experience for each resident and fellow. The project will identify a set of educational quality indicators and set benchmarks for each indicator. Web-based Modules for Pediatric Procedural Skills Training Sandrijn van Schaik, MD, PhD, Health Sciences Assistant Clinical Professor in Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine and Associate Program Director of the Pediatric Intensive Care Fellowship Program at UCSF, Medicine; Thomas Shimotake, MD, Health Sciences Assistant Clinical Professor in Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology and Associate Program Director of the Neonatology Fellowship Program at UCSF, Medicine; Jennifer Plant, MD, Fellow, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Many institutions, including UCSF, lack a formal curriculum for pediatric procedural skills training, although acquisition of such skills is important for health care professionals in pediatrics. We propose the development of web-based education modules containing knowledge content and video demonstrations, which prepare learners for real-life and lab-based instructions and practice. Development of a Series of Short, Web-Based Video Tutorials on Prenatal Nutrition Counseling Katie Clark, MPH, RD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Family Health Care Nursing Nutrition recommendations during pregnancy are plentiful; however, primary care providers acknowledge existing challenges in translating these scientific nutrition principles into practical advice. We propose to develop short, web-based video tutorials highlighting realistic applications of reproductive nutrition science to improve primary care provider nutrition counseling techniques for expectant mothers. The Virtual Birth Center Project Amy Levi, Associate Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Medicine The increased interest in adapting online gaming technology to educational purposes has extended to the use of multi-user virtual environments (Second Life) for introducing students to virtual learning experiences in anticipation of real-life exposures. This project proposes to develop a virtual Birth Center in which students can explore a virtual clinical environment prior to their actual clinical experience. Evaluation of Compliance With and Attitude Towards Daily Grading in Patient Simulation and Patient Care Teaching in the School of Dentistry at UCSF Sheila Brear, Division Chair, General Dentistry Evaluation is an essential component of dental education. The proposal is to implement immediate feedback and self evaluation on a continuous basis during teaching sessions using Faculty dedicated terminals and implementation of detailed online grading criteria. Effectiveness will be evaluated using student and faculty surveys before and after implementation.
