#MCGConf2021CP Bridges are complicated. Travel is dangerous. Some designs work better than others. @AUG_EII

Just like implementation.
Gene Hall gave us a great overview of the change process, and how hard change is to manage successfully. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

Oops! Some bridges look great but are not sturdy enough. Others look simple but are rock solid. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

When crossing we sometimes are burdened and the bridge has to be up to the task. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

Sometimes it looks like the implementation is just clipping along until ….
All this and more applies to change efforts and implementation processes and structures. Which is why Dr. Hall helped us understand the importance of the change process. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

AJ Kleinheksel in their presentation, Data Driven Support of Change Management, described how the data they collected using CBAM instruments was used locally to adjust the curriculum change process. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

Tami Morgan helped us look at moving towards a “pull” rather than a “push” approach to curricular change using movement behavior for medical students as an example. I’m familiar with the adage, “You can’t push with a rope!” #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

Emily Scanlan & Angela Bergene: support for faculty moving to on-line courses helped make the transition. They created just-in-time fac dev resources explaining best practices on teaching & implementing active learning strategies in a virtual environment. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

D’Eon et al explored how medical educators rate & select content. Having extracted data from 141 articles, few provided convincing justification for what they did to select content. More (any?) validity evidence is desperately needed. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

AJ Kleinheksel returned us to the CBAM world with their work on the Innovation Configuration Map. They showed how the use of the IC Map helped build and guide the curriculum change process at the Medical College of Georgia, and is still ongoing. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

Michael Madson introduced us to the McKinsey 7-S model for change. This way to help build the bridge between here and there focuses on faculty development. We know faculty need support since organizations don’t change, people do. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

Larry Hubertise explained his work with Universal Design for Learning. This approach to supporting all learners moves us beyond admissions when aiming for diversity and inclusion. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

Malshi Karunatilake et al’s study focused on improving the filtering of course content for med schools, the criteria by which we ask judges to rate the content. This is perfecting STUDY part of decision making cycle: building a better the microscope. #MCGConf2021CP @AUG_EII

For details on CBAM approach to change, check out excellent resource, 5th edition. I love the title: alliteration & contrasting terms. Patterns and principles sound precise and academic. “Potholes” is earthy and common place. Change is all that.
Thanks,
