I wanted expertise and while UNMC had great mentors and educational culture for modeling best teaching practices, it was missing the structured support that HEAL now offers.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Work started with informally surveying the needs and interests of multiple trainees, program directors and esteemed clinical educators across campus. Conversations revealed other colleges were craving this type of training as well and HEAL eventually gained support from the Interprofessional Academy of Educators (IAE) leadership, Dean of the College of Medicine and Assistant Vice Chancellor. Then COVID hit.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Creating a community of practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As pandemic restrictions fundamentally changed the way we teach, learn and interact, HEAL was (in many ways) offering an antidote to such isolation \u2013 a community of practice. By building this support network for future medical educators in a way that aligns with institutional, program director and learner goals, the first HEAL cohort was launched in 2021 with overwhelming excitement. Since then, over 50 mentors, coaches and seminar leaders have been recruited from five colleges on campus to support the first two cohorts of 26 trainees. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the coolest things about HEAL is its ability to break silos within GME by way of the shared language of medical education,\u201d said T.J. Welniak, MD, associate professor in the department of emergency medicine.&nbsp;\u201cParticipants in HEAL have instant access to mentorship, expertise and collaborative opportunities from across departments and disciplines. It takes a village to cultivate well-rounded educators by way of diverse skillsets and perspectives and HEAL truly embraces this philosophy.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With plans for additional expansion in the next academic year, residents and fellows from internal medicine, anesthesia, emergency medicine, psychiatry, neurology, pediatrics, radiology, pathology, general surgery, dermatology, family medicine and PMR will have the opportunity to develop best educational practices while pursuing master\u2019s level credits at UNMC. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cultivating the next generation of medical educators<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through self-reflective scaffolding and robust mentorship support, HEAL is designed to prepare young professionals who aspire to be innovative leaders in\u202fhealthcare education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHEAL has given me a foundation in best teaching practices to build upon as I continue my career as a health professions educator,\u201d said Dr. Hall, part of the inaugural&nbsp;HEAL cohort. \u201cIt has helped me know that there is a tremendous amount I do not know when it comes to adult learning and education, but it has also helped direct me to resources to close those gaps.\u201d &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two-year\u202fcurriculum offers various types of mentorship, coaching video review, interactive workshops, asynchronous on-line coursework and scholarship opportunities as trainees develop a formalized teaching portfolio parallel with their medical training. It also boasts two different tiers, with varying time requirements, to meet the individual needs of its participants. Those who complete the program will earn a professional certificate in medical education.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe HEAL program fosters the development of crucial skills that emerging educators and their learners benefit so much from having,\u201d said Ryan Mullane, DO, division of nephrology assistant professor.&nbsp;\u201cThe trainees get exposure to a wide variety of topics such as curriculum development, emotional intelligence and ways to maximize teaching opportunities. It is such a wonderful addition to and natural fit within the department of internal medicine and UNMC.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Encouraging results and excitement for the future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inaugural HEAL cohort is now more than halfway through the curriculum and Dr. Rohlfsen said preliminary results are encouraging. HEAL participants cite improved confidence in teaching and giving feedback along with a heightened sense of belonging and wellness. While the downstream effects for medical students and other stakeholders in the clinical learning environment remain to be seen, HEAL is already delivering on its mission of making UNMC a national leader in clinical educator development.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStudents are looking for ways to enhance their training in medical education and HEAL is bringing them to UNMC,\u201d said Allison Ashford, MD, med-peds residency program director and assistant professor in the division of hospital medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal medicine residency program director Tammy Wichman, MD, confirmed that HEAL has benefited the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt helps recruit outstanding residents from across the country who are interested in medical education and academic leadership,\u201d said Dr. Wichman, associate professor in the division of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine. \u201cI think the participants benefit immensely from early mentoring from fantastic faculty educators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next cohort of applicants will begin applying in January of 2023 and finalized in April of 2023 followed by an annual HEAL orientation and meet and greet next summer. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJoining the HEAL track at UNMC was one of the best decisions I have made during my time in residency, and it will be helpful throughout my future career,\u201d said Clayton Oakley, DO, internal medicine ambulatory chief resident. \u201cIt has really helped me improve as an educator, communicator and physician.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about or apply to HEAL by clicking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/intmed\/education\/residencies\/im-residency\/curriculum\/tracks\/heal.html\">here<\/a>.
