      <title>Essential Elements to Planning and Conducting a Research Project</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/OfficeofEducationResearch/EssentialElementstoPlanningandConductingaResearchProject.aspx</link>
      <description>We have grouped activities integral to developing and conducting a research project into three “tracks”: science, feasibility, regulatory. We have chosen these particular groupings because they serve to organize related and essential elements of conducting human subject research in an academic medical setting. While these tracks may seem distinct, in many ways they intersect, as you will see. Addressing each thoroughly and properly can help you move your project along smoothly, while not doing so can result in flawed research and delays.</description>

      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/OfficeofEducationResearch/Step1DevelopYourResearch.aspx</link>
      <description>The purpose of this first step in the process of developing your research project is to find a topic that engages you and to develop a well-defined research question. This will require a comprehensive and careful review of relevant research literature.</description>

      <description>Identify a Theoretical Framework or Model 
Have you been able to identify a theory or model that addresses your topic of interest? A scientific theory should identify an abstract concept or set of concepts, the relationships between those concepts, and the conditions under which one can reliably expect the relationships to exist. Scientific theories are NOT statements of fact, predictions, conjecture, or “common sense.” They are also not intended to answer questions dependent upon a specific time and place; however, they may specify contextual conditions. Models are similar to theories in that they identify and define concepts, but in a diagrammatic way. A theory or a model is very useful because it can help you refine and frame your research question by prompting you to consider alternative explanations. You might find that your research will advance the explanatory power of an existing theory by exploring new terrain, or refute the explanatory power of an existing theory.

      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/OfficeofEducationResearch/Step2RefineYourResearchIdea/Regulatory.aspx</link>
      <description>Do you foresee the need for preliminary work at this stage? This could be as simple as informal conversations with colleagues. It could require developing a small research study that involves testing methods, such as a survey or testing coding procedures. It could even involve a preliminary review of medical record data to determine whether there are enough patients with a particular condition that would be relevant to your research intervention. If so, you may need formal approval from the IRB or from the institution. If you do need to review medical records in order to determine if there are enough cases related to the medical condition that relates to your medical education question, you will need to obtain an approval to conduct a Review Preparatory to Research. You can also contact the CCI or the OER for more information about this application process. </description>

      <description>You are now ready to develop a full research proposal by integrating the various parts of the developed in Steps 1 thru 3. We have provided a research protocol template to assist you – this template is one variation on a fairly traditional format for a research proposal intended to help you compile and organize the work you have done so far. It is not intended to constrain your thinking and can be adapted to meet your needs. Your research protocol should consist of a purpose or problem statement, background and significance – including a literature review and theoretical framework, if applicable – a general description of your measures, your general research design and data collection methodology, your a priori hypotheses if appropriate to the study design, and your data analysis plan. As an added bonus, the template includes notes that provide references to corresponding sections the CCI-IRB application.</description>

      <description>Hopefully you have built some pretesting into your research proposal. Conduct the pretesting BEFORE you begin enrolling research subjects into your study and collecting research data. If you find that you must modify study procedures or materials, do so before you collect data. To modify your research protocol, you must first submit an amendment to the IRB and receive full approval for the amendment before you proceed.</description>

      <title>Internal Review Process</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/GraduateMedicalEducation/InternalReviewProcess.aspx</link>
      <description>All programs accredited by the ACGME in the United States are required to undergo regular ACGME reviews. The cycle of these reviews is determined by the RRC following a visit and evaluation of the program.  Cycle length varies from 1 to 5 years.  The RRC also determines the program status; most programs are fully accredited, but occasionally or a program is placed on a warning or probationary status. The latter results in a short cycle length. In between the formal ACGME reviews all programs are required to undergo an Internal Review.  This must occur at exactly the midpoint between the last ACGME review and the projected date of the next visit.

      <title>Millennium Conference</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/CarlJ,-d-,ShapiroInstituteforEducationandResearch/MillenniumConference.aspx</link>
      <description>The Carl J. Shapiro Institute for Education and Research at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) have co-sponsored these working conferences, entitled Millennium Conferences, intended to improve the clinical education of medical students by catalyzing and facilitating educational innovation and reform at North American medical schools.  These conferences are designed to engage teams from a relatively small number of medical schools in addressing issues of importance to the clinical education of medical students.  The conference participants are selected based on the school team's submission of a complete application in response to the sponsors' request for applications.  The Millennium Conference format, a combination of plenary sessions, small inter-institutional working groups proves particularly effective.  There are wonderful opportunities for cross-institutional brainstorming and sharing of ideas. </description>

      <title>Millennium Conference 2009</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/CarlJ,-d-,ShapiroInstituteforEducationandResearch/MillenniumConference/MillenniumConference2009.aspx</link>
      <description>The 2003 Institute of Medicine’s report “Health Professions Education: a Bridge to Quality” argued for the education of health professionals in patient safety, a topic that is indisputably a fundamental goal of medical education. In response to this call, a number of medical school consortia and consensus meetings have developed frameworks and/or fully drafted patient safety curricula (1-3). These documents provide the educational foundation essential for learning about patient safety. However, there is limited guidance on actual teaching methods, learner experiences, and strategies for implementation of curricula that an institution might use to integrate, sustain, and evaluate such programs.

      <title>Celebration of Diversity</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/CenterforFacultyDevelopment/CFDCommittees/CommitteeforMulticulturalFaculty/CelebrationofDiversity.aspx</link>
      <description>There are many reasons why a diverse faculty is important in a major teaching hospital. The most important include the provision of high quality patient care in an environment welcoming to individuals from all backgrounds, nationalities and origins. 


“Having a diverse faculty enables us as an institution to think creatively and share different points of view while focusing on excellent patient care,” said Rosemary B. Duda, MD, MPH, Director, Center for Faculty Development. “Some patients are more likely to seek, or are more comfortable with, physicians who are similar in ethnicity, culture, race and/or gender – or those physicians who are sensitive to these differences. A diverse faculty brings to the institution an expansion of the research focus that encompasses health issues as they relate to women and underrepresented minorities.”</description>

      <description>The Mission of this committee is to facilitate the BIDMC community to perform volunteer work in the areas of health services and human rights.
Many BIDMC faculty and staff volunteer their time in the local community as well as internationally to improve the lives of others.  A new committee was organized in 2008 at BIDMC that includes physicians, scientists, interpreter services, and nursing personnel. Their goal is to identify opportunites to volunteer, identify the means to offset some of the costs of volunteering, identify supplies that can be donated and expand the role of the BIDMC community in volunteer efforts.

      <description>Our vision for education in the BIDMC Department of Neonatology is the natural extension of our culture of collaborative patient care: a group-learning environment in the forefront of newborn medicine. In the process of caring for newborns, the many people involved - medical students, neonatology fellows, neonatal nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, nurses, dietitians, and social workers, as well as each baby's parents - benefit from asking questions and learning together. As HMS faculty members, attending neonatologists are able to facilitate this educational process while learning from the other participants.</description>

      <description>The Residency Program in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical School in Boston, MA is a major teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School. Our major clinical site is in the Longwood Medical area, adjacent to Harvard Medical School. A program of 20 residents, we are the small college teaching experience in obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School. Known for its patient centered care, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center is also a major research institution, with over 100 million dollars in research awards in the last year. From their very beginnings, both Beth Israel and Deaconess hospitals reached out to welcome practitioners and patients who were excluded from other medical facilities. That legacy of inclusion continues today with BIDMC's commitment to diversity and to providing exceptional care that reaches out to all members of our community.

      <title>A Message from the Program Director</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/ObstetricsGynecology/Residency/AMessagefromtheProgramDirector.aspx</link>
      <description>Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), a flagship teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School (HMS), is known for its exemplary patient care, leading-edge clinical and basic science research, and outstanding educational programs.  The department of obstetrics and gynecology takes great pride in providing cutting-edge care for women, delivered with a personal touch and respect for diversity. As a major teaching hospital of HMS, we offer a residency program in obstetrics and gynecology that consists of 20 residents (5 residents per year).  We teach women's health to a third of HMS students, and I currently chair the Executive Committee for OB/GYN at HMS, a position that rotates among the three major Harvard teaching hospitals. The size of our residency program allows us to have a feeling of smallness and individuality that is partnered with an emphasis on evidenced based medicine and research. Our unique blend of academic rigor, combined with empathic and individualized care, is what makes us unique.  We are the "small college" residency experience of HMS.</description>

      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/ObstetricsGynecology/MaternalFetalMedicineFellowship.aspx</link>
      <description>The Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship Training Program at (BIDMC) is a comprehensive clinical and research fellowship, designed to accommodate each fellow’s special interests. The fellowship offers two tracks: a traditional MFM fellowship track and a Master in Public Health track. The first year of fellowship is essentially the same for both tracks. In the second and third years, fellows choose which track they would like to follow based on their own interests and goals. The Master in Public Health track allows the fellow to get a Masters Degree in Public Health from Harvard University School of Public Health with a total of 24 months research time. The traditional MFM track gives the fellow 18 months of dedicated research time with 6 months of additional clinical time for electives and further exploration of subspecialties. The fellows are guided by a “mentoring team” which will be tailored for each fellow. The team consists of a basic science or clinical research mentor, a clinical MFM faculty mentor and the Director of the fellowship. The assignment of the mentors depends on the goals and interests of each fellow.</description>

      <title>Medical Student Clerkship</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/ObstetricsGynecology/MedicalStudentClerkship.aspx</link>
      <description>This course offers a core clerkship experience that exposes the student to the varied types of clinical practice in OB/GYN. One week is spent in the ambulatory setting, two weeks in labor and delivery, and three weeks in the gynecologic operating room. This allows for a breadth of experience in both types of patients encountered and faculty specialists. The ambulatory experience is based upon a preceptor model in which each student is paired with a general OB/GYN faculty preceptor who directs his or her outpatient experience. This outpatient experience is longitudinal throughout the clerkship - the student has an ambulatory session once a week with their core preceptor. This maintains continuity in both patient care and the student's own learning under the preceptor's guidance. In addition, students have a week-long outpatient experience that includes sessions with a reproductive endocrinologist, a maternal fetal medicine specialist, a gynecologic oncologist, a urogynecologist, a colposcopy and laser specialist, and a general gynecologist.</description>

      <description>The Department of Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), a major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, is committed to providing state-of-the-art training to prepare physicians and scientists for leadership roles in pathology and academic medicine. First, we offer four resident training pathways: Our combined anatomic pathology/clinical pathology (AP/CP) pathway provides comprehensive training in all areas of tissue diagnostics and laboratory medicine. Our AP only pathway prepares residents for careers as academic surgical pathologists. Our CP only pathway prepares residents for careers as future leaders in laboratory medicine. Finally, our physician-scientist pathway combines AP or CP only training with an extended interval of post-doctoral research training.  Second, we offer ACGME-approved fellowship training in selective pathology, cytopathology, dermatopathology, hematopathology, medical microbiology, transfusion medicine, and molecular genetic pathology.

      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Residency.aspx</link>
      <description>The Department of Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), a major teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, is committed to providing state-of-the-art training to prepare physicians for leadership roles in pathology and academic medicine.  We offer four resident training pathways:  First, our combined anatomic pathology/clinical pathology (AP/CP) pathway provides comprehensive training in all areas of tissue diagnostics and laboratory medicine.  Second, our AP only pathway prepares residents for careers as academic surgical pathologists.  Third, our CP only pathway prepares residents for careers as future leaders in laboratory medicine.  Finally, our physician-scientist pathway combines AP or CP only training with an extended interval of post-doctoral research training.  All pathways include extensive opportunities to participate in research projects with world-renowned experts in pathology or related disciplines.</description>

      <title>Anatomic/Clinical Pathology Track</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Residency/AnatomicClinicalPathology.aspx</link>
      <description>Years 1 and 2 introduce fundamentals in Anatomic and Clinical Pathology. Years 3 and 4 serve as  a time to consolidate and integrate skills. Specifically, PGY-1 is devoted entirely to Anatomic Pathology. In each month, residents train in both Surgical (~75% of the work time) and Autopsy Pathology (~25%).  In Surgical Pathology, residents are exposed to different organ systems and the broad range of specimens, both small and large.  Of note, in our program there is only limited organization of Surgical Pathology into subspecialties.  We believe this provides a significant training advantage as residents are continually exposed to disease entities throughout the year, thereby reinforcing learning.   Importantly, to promote optimal acquisition of diagnostics skills, we give residents time to study and diagnose their slides prior to signing out their cases with attending staff pathologists.</description>

      <title>Anatomic Pathology Only Track</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Residency/AnatomicPathologyOnlyTrack.aspx</link>
      <description>The major educational goal of this program pathway is to train future leaders in academic surgical pathology.  The first year is the same as the combined AP-CP program described above.

Activities in Anatomic Pathology continue in the second and third years, and include rotations in Pediatric and Forensic Pathology, Cytopathology, Molecular Pathology and Cytogenetics, Hematopathology, Laboratory Administration, further exposure to other subspecialties, and opportunities for research. The third year is modified to suit subspecialty interests.  Here residents polish their skills as diagnostic surgical pathologists in preparation for a career in academic surgical pathology.  Typically, electives involving clinical or translational research projects enable the resident to develop a subspecialty research interest.</description>

      <description>The major educational goal of this program pathway is to train future leaders in Laboratory Medicine. It is especially intended for those who wish to develop leadership capabilities in a clinical pathology subspecialty in combination with extensive research training in our physician-scientist track. The first year is the same as the clinical pathology core year in the combined AP-CP program. The second and third years include rotations in Molecular Pathology and Cytogenetics, additional rotations in the four basic laboratory modules, and time for extensive subspecialty training in a laboratory medicine discipline. Subspecialty training opportunities may be combined with fellowship training to obtain an especially in depth and goal oriented educational experience. For physician-scientst track residents, postdoctoral research experience will be integrated with residency and subspecialty training to develop a compelling academic portfolio.

      <title>Physician-Scientist Track</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Residency/PhysicianScientistTrack.aspx</link>
      <description>This pathway prepares residents for the role of physician-scientist by emphasizing basic science research during pathology training in the context of a AP or CP only training pathway. Residents complete PGYs 1 and 2 for the AP or CP track in which they are enrolled and additional clinical rotations as may be required to satisfy board requirements. For those residents who demonstrate a strong interest and potential for success in basic science research and have received evaluations that attest to their excellence, the additional time in the third year and beyond will consist of a full-fledged post-doctoral research fellowship.  The goal of this training experience is to prepare residents for entry level faculty positions as physician-scientists in pathology.  The Department of Pathology will provide 2 years of full salary support to allow trainees to develop a significant body of original work and to undergo the transition from post-doctoral fellow to independent faculty member.  Generally, this training experience will require more than 2 years of scientific training. </description>

      <title>Medical Microbiology</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/Fellowship/MedicalMicrobiology.aspx</link>
      <description>ACGME-approved Medical Microbiology Fellowship positions will be available starting July 1, 2008. The program is one year in length and will qualify fellows to sit for the Medical Microbiology Board Examination, a subspecialty board of the American Board of Pathology. A pre-requisite for fellowship training is successful completion of either a pathology residency training program (in AP and/or CP) or an infectious disease fellowship. The goal of the program is to train fellows to assume leadership roles in academic, tertiary care, or publich health microbiology laboratories.   Philosophically we believe that this education is best accomplished through hands-on instruction in microbiological methods, direct participation in the consultative and administrative activities of the microbiology laboratory, and participation in activities of the infectious diseases, pharmacy, and infection control/hospital epidemiology departments.   The organization of the program reflects these goals.  Fellows will have rotations at Children's Hospital Boston and the Massachusetts State Laboratory to ensure sufficient exposure to pediatric and public health microbiology respectively.  A detailed description of the fellowship program will be posted in the next few months.   Applications may be obtained from Joan Allin, Residency and Fellowships Training Coordinator (jallin@bidmc.harvard.edu ).

      <title>Medical Student Elective</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Pathology/MedicalStudentElective.aspx</link>
      <description>The Department of Pathology offers a month-long introduction to the practice of anatomic pathology and laboratory medicine as a medical student elective under the auspices of Harvard Medical School (HMS PA 501.5). Medical students from both Harvard and outside institutions are welcome.  (Students out of Harvard Medical School, please refer to the exchange clerkship program for visiting medical students for information on how to apply.)   The elective is tailored to students’ interests, and generally consists of three weeks in the division of anatomic pathology and a one week in the major laboratories in the division of clinical pathology (aka laboratory medicine). In anatomic pathology, students spend time on both the autopsy and surgical pathology services during which they participate in gross dissection and microscopic interpretation of both autopsy and surgical specimens. The clinical pathology experience is composed of one-day introductions to each of the major clinical laboratories (hematopathology, microbiology, clinical chemistry, and transfusion medicine). Students also participate in the department’s daily conferences and are asked to give a short case presentation to the department at the conclusion of their rotation.</description>

      <description>Medical student education receives heavy emphasis at BIDMC and its affiliate, the Massachusetts Mental Health Center. We teach introductory psychopathology to Harvard medical students in the second year and offer a wide variety of clinical experiences for students in their core and elective rotations. Third-year students may work on a locked inpatient unit in a general hospital, a consultation team to the medical/surgical services, or in an intensive partial hospital program in a public hospital setting. Fourth-year students may choose an advanced experience at any of the above settings or may do a community psychiatry elective, working closely with homeless outreach programs. </description>

      <title>Rose and Jacob Ruderman Post Masters Fellowship in Gerontological Social Work</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/SocialWork/RoseandJacobRudermanPostMastersFellowshipinGerontologicalSocialWork.aspx</link>
      <description>The Rose and Jacob Ruderman Post-Master’s Fellowship in Gerontological Social Work was originally developed at Beth Israel Hospital by a group of senior clinical social workers who were committed to teaching advanced level specialty skills of working with the elderly in a health care setting. The Program design is based on the philosophy that advanced practice with the elderly requires looking at the elderly individual in the context of his or her family, community and the developmental and physiological forces that impact on his or her wellbeing. The Fellowship trains social workers who will assume clinical and programmatic leadership in the field of aging. A generous gift, given to the Department in 1995 by the Morton Ruderman family, allows for the continuation of this innovative program. The Fellowship is a ten-month, 32 hours per week program.</description>

      <title>Surgery Mentorship Program</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/Departments/Surgery/GeneralSurgery/SurgeryMentorshipProgram.aspx</link>
      <description>The John Warren Surgical Society is an organization dedicated to supporting all HMS students by allowing them to explore their interest in surgery. Our role is vital in that the HMS pre-clinical curriculum has very few surgery-related opportunities for enrichment. We are here to fill the gap and to begin a tradition of more senior surgeons providing guidance to those of us beginning our careers as physicians. JWSS will be offering a variety of novel activities this year. The seminar series features local, prominent surgeons speaking about an assortment of surgery-related topics. A formal panel of surgeons will be held in the fall to provide students a stage to explore and learn about the surgical profession and its various specialties. These "social gatherings" will also allow you to start establishing a rapport with some of these local surgeons. A web-based shadowing and mentor program linking students with attending and resident surgeons will be established so that students may observe procedures in the operating room and interact with various surgical specialists in a one-on-one setting. The JWSS will also introduce HMS students to the Skills Lab located in the BIDMC. The skills lab features a 70-seat theater, 8 laparoscopic simulators, suturing workshops, and a video databank of surgical procedures. One of our most exciting uses of the skills lab will be our live video teleconferences of surgical procedures. We will also be holding a variety of skills sessions that will introduce key abilities that any surgeon must master, such as suturing, knot-tying, and the use of laparoscopes. We hope that we can help introduce you to the surgical profession with these activities, and ask you to become an active member of JWSS.</description>

      <title>Integrated Simulators</title>
      <link>http://www.bidmc.org/MedicalEducation/ShapiroSimulationandSkillsCenter/SimulationandSkillsTrainers/IntegratedSimulators.aspx</link>
      <description>The SASC utilizes computerized, whole-body mannequins programmed to respond to the learner's actions in real-time. Integrated simulators allow learners to practice cognitive reasoning and multiple physical procedures at once, just as they would with a live patient.

METI® Human Patient Simulator™ (HPS)
This full-sized mannequin is ultra sophisticated and highly versatile with programmed cardiovascular, pulmonary, pharmacological, metabolic, genitourinary (male and female), and neurological systems. It blinks, speaks and breathes; it has a heartbeat and a pulse, and accurately mirrors human responses to procedures such as CPR, intravenous medication, intubation, ventilation, and catheterization.

METI® Emergency Care Simulator™ (ECS)
Specially designed to support emergency care and trauma scenarios, this full-sized mannequin is portable, creating the opportunity to train learners in any environment. The ECS offers much of the same technology as the HPS, but optimizes emergency scenarios to expose students to the most complicated and high-risk situations.

Laerdal SimMan™
This full-body mannequin offers scenarios similar to the METI simulators with the addition of an anatomically accurate bronchial tree, providing learners the opportunity to respond to airway complication scenarios and practice advanced procedures relative to the training needs of anesthesia, ACLS, ATLS, and difficult airway management.</description>
