ELEARNING PROGRAM (http MOODLE://moodle.org/) http://pathology-ed.aecom.yu.edu.
• Moodle is our course management systemcourse management system - a software package designed to help educators create quality online courses. Such e-learning systems are sometimes also called Learning Management Systems or Virtual Learning Environments. One of the main advantages of Moodle over other systems is a strong grounding in social constructionist pedagogysocial constructionist pedagogy. Moodle is Open Source software.

MOODLE Philosophy (http://moodle.org/doc/?frame=philosophy.html):
• The design and development of Moodle is guided by a particular philosophyparticular philosophy of learning, a way of thinking that you may see referred to in shorthand as a "social "social constructionist pedagogy".constructionist pedagogy".

MOODLE 4. Connected and MOODLE 4. Connected and Separate:Separate:
• Separate behavior is when someone tries to remain 'objective' and 'factual'. In general, a healthy amount of connected behavior connected behavior within a learning communitywithin a learning community is a very powerful stimulant for learning, not only bringing people closer together but promoting deeper reflectiondeeper reflection and re-examination of their existing beliefs.

• A 'teacher' can change from being 'the source of knowledge' to being an influencer influencer and role model of class cultureand role model of class culture, connecting with students in a personal way that addresses their own learning needsown learning needs, and moderating discussions and activities in a way that collectively leads students towards the learning goals of the class.

• MOODLE MONTEFIORE & Community of Community of InformationInformation: The Residency maintains active bulletin boards on jobs, meetings, and issues in pathology and medicine. This coupled with numerous mailings on issues numerous mailings on issues like competencylike competency creates the connectivity glue that a thriving residency and faculty wants, benefit from and maintain spiritmaintain spirit. The numerous events as the residents’ research night, the pathology annual retreat, the winter gala, the farewell and awards dinner, and the incoming breakfasts maintains this sense of communitysense of community.

MOODLE MONTEFIORE – our “Virtual Community of MOODLE MONTEFIORE – our “Virtual Community of Learning” :Learning” :
• Over the past two year we have actively met monthlyactively met monthly, met as a group and had a retreat to institute construction, fielding, implementation, usage, and analysis of our Competency evaluations, goals & curricula, and self-assessment/eTests. This is all via our MOODLE Site. This has been highly successful as a way of expanding our goals via the expanding our goals via the CompetenciesCompetencies, and impacting resident & faculty education. This modality has richly enhancedrichly enhanced all aspects of our educational initiative and could be a “Best Practice”“Best Practice” opportunity for all programs (we have shared this information with programs across North America & exhibited this at ACGME via posterACGME via poster & individual sessions with Drs. Leach, Nestler & the ACGME MIS group).

Competency is an exercise in departm ental partnership & collaboration. To that end, the Faculty, R esidency & Associates of Pathology at A ECOM /M M C (600 staff with 84 faculty, 23 residents & fellows), a mid -sized organization, began on the road to competency two years ago. Initial stimuli stemmed from the GM E C ommittee, relaying information from ACGM E generica lly & by specific involvement in AC GME comm ittees. The ACGM E itself broadcast & unfurled it’s competency banner high. National m eetings (A PC/PRO DS) held ACGM E competency seminars. The Greater N ew Y ork Hospital Association (GNY HA ) supplied critica l high profile seminars & hardcopy competency information that were inva luable. This in formation w as summ arily hard cop y circulated to all faculty with economy, & res idency responsible faculty in detail & repetitively. Email competency information was com municated with all parties in a similar m ode. C omp etency reports & news were verbally presented by the cha ir (a key supporter & cata lyst), program director & resident representative a t four layers of faculty/residency meetings: general faculty meetings, departm ental executive sessions, divisional fa cu lty meetings, residency advisory & oversight meetings, i.e., residency “board of trustees.” Sm all goal oriented working groups are narrowly task ed to develop specific divisional “toolb oxes” for com petency application, m anagem ent & m easurem ent. Computer based learning & self-assessm ent devices (Etests) are being developed. Div isional faculties are now reaching out to discipline specific colleagues to share & develop tools. Lastly, faculty/residents are involved in cityw ide, regional, national organization com mittees overseeing & instituting competency. In sum :competency developm ent & imp lem entation is a reflection (R ors chach) of fa culty/residents’ self-study, sense of community, & broader national influences. Implementation can be enhanced by understating tha t a complicated social structure exists defining an academic & clinical faculty. Recognition of this complex reality is a determinant of competency success.

Competency: Where we are….• Competency Working Group• Evaluations, eTests, Curriculum • Opportunities for Resident Input
– Residency Town Hall Meetings– CP Town Hall Meeting– Resident Surveys
• Opportunities to provide feedback – Mid-year review– Chief Residents Meetings – End-of-rotation evaluation of rotation and faculty
Montefiore Pathology Residency 30
National Resident Perspective: Our Participation
• AAMC – Organization of Resident Representatives
• USCAP, ASCP – future directions• CAP – Residents Forum
– Retreats with residents involved in revising/modifying goals & objectives
– Addition of Ethics, Professionalism, and Health Care Delivery & Management to Didactic Lecture Series
– Re-structuring of Departmental Conferences
Montefiore Pathology Residency 31
Future Directions (1)
• Patient Care (Related Activities)– Practicum-based evaluations– Conferences that document “Learning Curve”
• Medical Knowledge– DETAILED CORE– Full cadre of Etests
• Practice Based Learning & Improvement– Resident Portfolios– Quality Assurance/Improvement Studies
Montefiore Pathology Residency 32
Future Directions (2)• Interpersonal & Communication Skills and
Professionalism– 360° evaluations – support staff, techs, supervisors, lab
managers, clinicians from other services, as well as supervising Pathology attending(s)
– Simulated “professional” interactions– Ethics
• Systems-Based Practice– Expanded Laboratory Management Component with
emphasis on Pathology’s role in health care delivery– More inclusive Didactic Lecture Series
Montefiore Pathology Residency 33
Competency Leadership: Why us?
In a few short years residents and fellows will be Attending Pathologists at institutions with
residency training programs and will be (to some extent) responsible for that program remaining
accredited on the basis of their ability to produce “COMPETENT” pathologists.
If we are part of the process now, we will understand and control what we need to do
later!!
