Cleveland Cl inic Lerner Col lege of Medicine

InSight Issue 21|Winter 2012

On May 8, 2008, Delos Cosgrove, MD, announced to all Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine students that Cleveland Clinic was providing all its students with full tuition scholarships, beginning with the July 2008 incoming class. This decision was based on recent national reports that indicated that fewer medical students and graduate medical education matriculants were going into research as a result of their large undergraduate and medical school debt that had been accrued. At the time, the debt was estimated to be around $150,000 for students graduating from private schools.

Tuition scholarships are essential for high quality education programs to ensure student diversity and equal opportunity. They are particularly important in the College Track so that students have minimal or no educational debt providing greater incentive to pursue a career as an academic physician investigator. The College Track provides full tuition scholarships for all students. (Scholarships do not include living expenses, stipend, or other educational expenses such as books and supplies.)

Behind the scenes, the College provides for these scholarships by ensuring that (1) Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) tuition charges for each student are paid to CWRU and (2) that there are sufficient resources available for general College operations, either from generous donors or from the operating budget of the Cleveland Clinic. Although Lerner College had been

endowed since its inception by the generous donations from the Lerner Family, the Lerner Family support has been used primarily for supporting College operations: curriculum development, admissions, faculty time, among other items.

James Young, MD, and others have been working to expand the philanthropic support for College tuition scholarships and enrich the College curriculum. He and

others have been successful, for example, in garnering support for a humanities curriculum.

However, to maintain the quality of education, the College has set a goal for every College

student to receive a

tuition scholarship endowed by a specific donor. There have already been several awards established towards this goal. KeyBank has provided very generous support for this effort, allocating over $1 million dollars to recognize underserved communities and minority students. Dr. Don Dohn, John and Frances Kane, and John Tishman have been leaders in establishing endowed scholarships. Recently the Bernadine Healy, MD Fund was established to support the ongoing education of the future leaders in medical research who will graduate from the College.

We greatly appreciate the recognition and support provided by these forward-thinking benefactors.

Our Students

On November 6, the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine students took on a team comprised of house staff from the Departments of Urology, Orthopaedic Surgery and Internal Medicine in the Fish Bowl, the annual football game named in honor of the founding Lerner College Dean, Andrew J. Fishleder, MD.

After suffering a devastating defeat last year at the hands of the students, the house staff devised a plan to redeem themselves this year. During the first half of play, the students dominated the action, scoring on nearly every series and making a number of impressive defensive stops. After intermission, it was determined by various levels of subterfuge that a redistribution of wealth would improve the overall quality of play. The students were guilted into parting ways with the talents of Lenny Buller (Class of 2013) and Warren Swegal (Class of 2013). With these new additions, and the advantage of having an extra player on the field at all times, the House Staff rattled off a scoring streak to even the score and then take a decisive lead, resulting in a poorly deserved victory.

Game MVP honors go to Lenny Buller, who was able to rack up several key interceptions and withstood several acts of aggression. Special mention goes to the quartet of 5th-year students who fell short of leaving with a perfect record in the Fish Bowl.

The students extend a special thank you to the house staff that came out to join us for a wonderful day of flag football and to Jennifer McBride, PhD, whose young daughter turned out a solid performance as referee, cheer squad, and adorable team mascot.

Fish Bowl Flag Football Tradition Continues!

All accepted applicants for admission to the entering class (Class of 2017) will be invited to return to Lerner College of Medicine on March 29-30, 2012. Current medical students, faculty and administrators are excited to have this opportunity to provide additional information about the College and are planning a series of events, including panel discussions with students and faculty, receptions, and a city tour. They are excited about recruiting the ninth class to Lerner College and hope that you share their enthusiasm about this important event.

Applicant Revisit Scheduled March 29-30

Students Host Annual Thanksgiving Luncheon Medical students of Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine showed their appreciation for everything the faculty and administrative staff have contributed to the school and to their education by hosting a Thanksgiving Pot Luck Luncheon held on Wednesday, November 16. There were traditional turkey and fixings, along with some dessert options, vegetarian alternatives, and a few specialty surprises, all cooked up by Lerner College students. The faculty and staff thank the students for putting together this wonderful feast!

Doc Opera 2011: Another Success!

The 27th annual production of Doc Opera transported the audience to the Hogwarts School of Medicine on December 10, 2011. Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine’s Doc Opera is a completely student-run variety show parodying medicine and medical school life that benefits The Free Clinic of Greater Cleveland. Some highlights from this year’s show include the faculty dance “My Epi-Pen” (to the tune of “It’s Raining Men”), “The Way You Make Me Heal” (to Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel”), and “Neurosyphilis” (to the cult classic “Time Warp”). Congratulations to the many Lerner College students and faculty who helped make the show yet another success!

Mark Your Calendars – 2012 Graduation Celebration! In just a few months, Lerner College of Medicine will be celebrating the graduation of our fourth class, Class of 2012. The Cleveland Clinic celebration will take place on Saturday evening, May 19, 2012, starting at 6:00 p.m. On Sunday, May 20, Lerner College graduates will join their colleagues at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine to receive their diplomas from CWRU. Please plan to participate in this very special weekend.

It is with much sadness that we report that Dr. Iva Dostanic (Class of 2011) passed away on December 27, 2011 after a short, but courageous battle with cancer. Dr. Iva Dostanic touched our lives in so many ways. Iva came to the College with her PhD in Molecular Genetics, Biochemistry and Microbiology from the University of Cincinnati. She was one of those brilliant individuals who never made anyone else feel less intelligent or less worthy. She always had a sunny disposition and kind word for all she met. Whenever the College needed a volunteer to meet with prospective students, faculty from other schools or donors, Iva was there.

In March of 2011, she matched as a resident into the Internal Medicine/Physician Scientist Track at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Discussion is currently underway regarding the development of a fund research or scholarship in her memory. More information will be forthcoming about this.

Remembering Dr. Dostanic

The fragility of life is experienced daily we step away touched but rarely scarred or torn until it's one of our own not just one we love but one who has our tools who mirrors us in life and then we cry in fear it could become us we bleed in regret were the sacrifices for naught?

too many missed memories neglected family and friends we wonder if our passion is displaced if the lesson’s in misguided careers eventually, we’ll heal and form a deeper scar the true lesson eternalized in tissue our learned empathy shared at a glance future encounters blessed by her memory it’s the cornerstone of medicine only she could teach

At the 67th annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) in Orlando, Florida, Brittaney Wilson (Class of 2014) presented a poster titled "Long term fertility outcomes after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain in late adolescents." This poster presentation was based on an abstract about the research she continued to perform with Tommaso Falcone, MD, after her clinical research summer.

ASRM is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to the advancement of the art, science, and practice of reproductive medicine. This society accomplishes its mission through the pursuit of excellence in education, research, and advocacy. The theme of the meeting this year focused on Realizing Scientific Dreams. Faculty, residents, and fellows within the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Women's Health Institute, as well as medical students who have conducted research in the field, submitted abstracts and videos encompassing groundbreaking research and surgical techniques.

Throughout the meeting Brittaney was able to meet with researchers from across the globe to discuss her research project and help further understand the burden of adolescent endometriosis.

In collaboration with the University Track at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU), we asked residency program directors to assess the performance of Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine graduates following the first year of residency training.

We obtained an overall response of 71% from program directors for graduates in the Classes of 2009 and 2010 (n = 40/56) after sending program directors two e-mails and a direct mail follow-up.

Key findings include:

Responding program directors rated over 50% of Lerner College graduates above expectations when compared to other interns in patient care, professionalism, medical knowledge, and interpersonal and communication skills.

When asked, over 90% of responding program directors would still actively recruit the same Lerner graduates as interns.

Finally, over half of the program directors said Lerner College alumni matched into graduate training programs with a portfolio requirement (58%) and/or a research requirement (53%).

We will continue to survey residency program directors each year to identify their perceptions of Lerner College graduates’ abilities.

Feedback from Residency Program Directors about Lerner College Graduates


Neil Mehta, MD, FACP, was a co-director of a week-long module on “Advances in Information Technology & Support Systems to Enhance Medical Education” for physicians in Singapore. This module was part of a five-week course for Essentials for Clinician Teachers Organized by the National HealthCare Group and NHG College (Singapore) in collaboration with the Harvard Macy Institute and Partners Harvard International.

Dr. Mehta was invited by the Harvard Macy Institute to take the lead on this module that focused on technology in medical education. The module was attended by about 45 participants from October 24-28, 2011, at the Raffles Town Center in Singapore.

The module covered various aspects of technology in learning including instructional design principles, software for creating interactivity, creating collaboration in e-learning, Social Media and Web 2.0 tools, theories of learning and knowledge, the community of inquiry model and tools for lifelong learning.

The participants worked in small groups to create an e-learning lesson that utilized the principles of learning theory, instructional design, community of inquiry, social constructivism and connectivism, assessment and evaluation. On the final day, the teams presented their projects that were evaluated by their peers.

Mehta Co-Directs Module on Technology in Learning in Singapore

Participants in the Technology in Learning session worked in very active small groups to create e-learning lessons.

On Tuesday, October 25, 2011, 29 Cleveland Clinic Staff members came together to learn more about the College and the competency-based approach to medical education that defines Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine.

The morning started with Alan Hull, MD, PhD, Associate Dean for Curricular Affairs, explaining the structure of the medical school and the unique philosophy and principles that lead to the development of “physician investigators.” Next, Christine Taylor, PhD, facilitated a discussion on “participatory learning” followed by a description of examples of participatory learning in the Basic Sciences (Phillip Hall, MD) and Clinical Teaching (J. Harry Isaacson, MD). In the last of the morning’s presentations, Elaine Dannefer, PhD, introduced the participants to the portfolio approach to student assessment and shared an excerpt from an actual portfolio.

The morning session was ended with a bag lunch and discussion of a number of faculty roles available to the participants. Julie Tebo, PhD, and Clemencia Colmenares, PhD, provided insight into the areas of Problem-Based Learning and the Research Curriculum respectively. Eileen Hilton from the Faculty Affairs Office provided guidance on how to apply for a faculty appointment.

By the end of the morning session, the participants were enthusiastic about contributing in some way with 20 of the 29 identifying specific teaching roles that they would like to pursue. The morning was a great success. Another New Faculty Orientation will be scheduled for spring 2012.

This past summer, 401 members of the professional staff who participated in teaching and/or assessment activities were surveyed using a web-based evaluation system to identify their perceptions of the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine. Director of Evaluation, Beth Bierer, PhD, organized the survey and reported the findings.

The selection criteria for respondents included the active participation during the 2010 – 2011 curriculum year in one or more of the following areas:

Preceptors, small group facilitators, seminar/journal club facilitators, thesis committee members, Deans’ dinner speakers, and/or physician advisors.

Course directors, thread leaders, PBL case writers, CAPP graders, OSCE raters, and/or Lerner College administrators.

Members of the Joint Clinical Oversight Group, Advanced Clinical Education Committee, Clinical Education Committee, Research Executive Committee, Foundations of Clinical Medicine Committee, and/or Medical Student Promotion and Review Committee.

Some key findings from this survey include:

Faculty reported having significant (40%), moderate (42%), or minimal (18%) involvement with the Lerner College program during the past year.

The majority of faculty surveyed planned to maintain (77%) or increase (12%) their involvement with the Lerner College program next year.

More faculty indicated they were intellectually stimulated by their Lerner College work (91%) and contributed to implementation of the Lerner College program (77%) than faculty surveyed in 2009 (84% and 70% respectively).

86% of respondents indicated their department chairs valued their Lerner College activities.

73% agreed that Lerner College appropriately recognized faculty for their contributions to the Lerner College program – a 15% increase when compared to 2009 faculty survey.

90% indicated that they improved their ability to give trainees targeted, constructive feedback.

More faculty agreed with the effectiveness of Lerner College’s assessment practices (narrative comments, no grades, portfolio approach, etc.) than respondents in 2009.

96% of faculty agreed that the Lerner College program enhanced the Cleveland Clinic’s overall reputation.

Over 70% of respondents think the Lerner College program helped attract “academic” staff recruits (76%) and residents/fellows (72%).

49% of respondents indicated more formal communication is needed about the Lerner College program.

The 66% response rate in 2011exceeded those obtained for previous faculty surveys.

A full copy of the report is available to anyone wishing to view it. Please contact Beth Bierer, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation, or Jeff Shivak, Evaluation Coordinator, with your request.

Highlights of Survey Results about Perceptions of Lerner College by the Professional Staff

Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine


The Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs, Gene Barnett, MD, and the Office of Faculty Affairs Coordinator, Eileen Hilton, are making every effort to ensure that all Cleveland Clinic staff involved in any teaching role have a CWRU faculty appointment through the Lerner College of Medicine. (A few staff may have primary appointments in the CWRU School of Medicine separately, but these need to be documented.) Faculty appointments for staff is an accreditation mandate and good practice to ensure that staff feel a close tie and understanding of the Lerner College’s purpose and teaching and assessment approach.

All procedures and forms necessary for either an initial faculty appointment or promotion are available on the Lerner College of Medicine internet website

http://portals.clevelandclinic.org/cclcm/Faculty/FacultyAffairs/tabid/4314/Default.aspx

under the “Faculty Affairs” tab or by going to the Education page on the Intranet and clicking on “Faculty Appointments and Promotions” in the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine section.

Here are a few points to follow:

If you have had a CWRU appointment in the past, contact Eileen Hilton to determine if this can be re-instituted.

You need to apply for an initial appointment if you do not have and have never had a CWRU or Lerner College of Medicine appointment.

These are processed on a continuous basis throughout the year. Identify the track (clinical versus regular) and level (assistant, associate, or full professor).

Check with Eileen Hilton if you have any questions after reading the descriptions on the web site.

Confirm the track and level with your Department or Institute Chair who will write the nominating letter.

Collect the information required for your track and level.

You only have to provide names and addresses for referee letters. (The Office of Faculty Affairs will contact the referees.) Make sure you identify referees at the appropriate academic level (usually professor) for the level/track you are applying for. There is a list of Cleveland Clinic staff with Lerner College appointments on the web site which you can use for “colleague” letters.

Prepare your CV using the CWRU format - the document is on the web site.

If you select “education” as your area of expertise, you will need to compile an educational portfolio. (Directions are on the web site.) This is not necessary if you choose “clinical” or “research” areas of expertise.

Once you have your materials together and your Chair’s nominating letter, it is best to hand deliver them to Eileen Hilton. If you send the materials in the mail, please notify Eileen Hilton that you are sending them so that she can acknowledge receipt of the materials when they arrive in her office.

You can apply for a promotion if you currently have a Lerner College appointment, but this is only done once a year – all materials must be submitted by January 31 of each year for a review process that requires 18 months to complete.

You can follow the progress of your initial application (or promotion) as it goes through the centralized data collection and review process by logging into the Lerner College of Medicine portal, going to the “My Info” tab, then clicking on “Faculty Appointment.”

Please contact Eileen Hilton with any questions about the faculty appointment/promotions process.

Curricular Update

The Basic Core 2 team at Cleveland Clinic, led by Camille Sabella, MD, has explored an opportunity to send students to Wooster, Ohio for a 16-week experience in Pediatrics, OBGYN, and Family Medicine. Students selected for this program (1-2 students per 16-week block) will have an opportunity to provide care to patients in a rural setting.

The goal for the students will be a longitudinal experience in all three disciplines over the 16 weeks, allowing for continuity of care and collaboration between disciplines. Rather than performing these three rotations in separate blocks of time, the rotation has been designed to have experiences in

all three disciplines every week for all 16 weeks. As part of the curriculum plan, Dr. Sabella envisions a student taking call on labor and delivery and then performing a delivery, providing care to the mother post-partum, and examining the baby in the newborn nursery.

Faculty from Wooster Hospital will also have the opportunity to participate in weekly didactic sessions offered in Cleveland every Friday morning. The Hospital owns a house adjacent to the property, and students will be provided housing during the 16 weeks of Basic Core 2. We are excited to offer this experience to students who have an interest in exploring medicine in this beautiful rural setting.

Basic Core 2 Offers Students the Opportunity for Patient Care in a Rural Community

The first two-week Capstone Session for Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine students will be held for the Class of 2012 from March 12, 2012 to March 23, 2012. All graduating students are asked to attend so that they can participate in Match Day activities (March 16), the second Lerner College Research Day (March 23), a 2-day course to complete requirements for ACLS Training (required by many residency programs now), and completion of several exit requirements including a mandatory financial aid session.

The first week will also focus on preparing for residency with panel discussions by Lerner College graduates currently in residencies and another with Cleveland Clinic Residency Program Directors on what to expect and how to prepare for the transition to residency.

The first week of the Capstone session will begin with a workshop on Emotional Intelligence which

will be followed by a variety of skills sessions for which students can sign up to brush up skills they feel are important for their discipline. There will also be an optional session for graduates and their spouses/significant-others to talk about how to prepare for the transition to residency.

The second week includes the ACLS training and Research Day; the other days will focus on professionalism and humanities topics and meetings with physician advisors. The planning group will be contacting Lerner College graduates and the graduating class to determine specific content and activity areas.

Please contact Alan L. Hull, MD, PhD, ([email protected]) with any suggestions and/or questions regarding the Capstone Session.
