"Celebrating Women in Family Medicine"
Cherie Glazner, MD, MSPH, Poudre Valley Hospital; Joan Bedinghaus, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin; Katherine Patterson-Neely, MD, Forbes Regional Family Practice Residency; Elizabeth Naumburg, MD, University of Rochester
Family medicine faculty bring unique skills and experiences to their professional workplaces, but the dual role of woman and physician continues to create a tension between work, family and personal obligations. Systems of practice and education do not inherently support the multifaceted role of women physicians nor in general acknowledge the vital importance of personal balance. This preconference workshop is designed to be a forum for exploration of the multiple roles and responsibilities faced by women physicians. There is time for group and individual problem solving, for improving professional/personal balance, and for developing action plans. Participants will be encouraged to look critically at the systems in which they work and identify areas where they can implement change to support women’s multiple roles and non-traditional career paths.
No fee but pregistration is required. Please Mark the appropriate space on the registration form to preregister.

Kathryn Chappelle, MA, Oregon Health & Science University

In this workshop, you will explore the characteristics of learners and teachers and learn the microskills model of clinical teaching and how to give meaningful feedback. The goal of this workshop is to enhance participants’ ability to effectively teach a variety of learners in a clinical setting. Workshop Objectives: (1) Describe the traits of effective teachers and their approach to today’s learners; (2) Discuss the 5-Step Microskills Model of Clinical Teaching; (3) Demonstrate the process of getting a commitment and providing for support; (4) Distinguish giving feedback from the process of evaluation; (5) Describe three levels of feedback and explain their effect on learners; (6) Demonstrate the ability to give both positive and negative feedback as required in the Microskills.
Fee: $100; Enrollment for this workshop is limited to 25. Please mark the appropriate space on the registration form to preregister.
