********************************************** ALL RESIDENTS: QI
PROJECT ON STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS BACTERIURIA – SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE
Increasing the proportion of blood cultures collected amongst
individuals with Staphylococcus aureus bacteriuria: a quality
improvement initiative Staphylococcus aureus is not a typical
pathogen in the usual ascending pathogenesis of urinary tract
infection but representing multiple processes ranging from isolated
urinary tract colonization to a marker of S. aureus bacteremia
(SAB) or deeper-seated infections. Between 2010 – 2013 there was
2054 individuals within the CHZ who had S. aureus bacteriuria
(SABU) detected, of which 175 (6.9%) were found to have SAB. SAB is
associated with a 25% mortality rate within the CHZ. Diagnosis of
SAB requires the collection of blood cultures. Unfortunately, only
42.2% of hospitalized and emergency room patients with SABU
detected had blood cultures drawn. Although certain factors can
increase one’s risk of having SAB when SABU is detected, not one
single factor or combination of factors is sufficient to exclude a
diagnosis of SAB. As part of our study, we have advocated for
Calgary Laboratory services to include a written comment stating
“S. aureus bacteriuria may be associated with severe systemic
disease such as bacteremia- Clinical correlation is advised,” on
all urine culture reports reporting S. aureus. We wish to determine
whether the insertion of this comment will change front-line
physician behavior and increase the proportion of blood cultures
drawn on SABU patients. We have a 6-question survey we would be
keen on having family medicine physicians participate in. It will
take approximately 1 minute to complete.

goal setting; and relationship building within and amongst
residents, new-to-practice physicians and preceptors.
Wellness Avengers 2.0 Team Description: The Wellness Avengers
are a team of University of Calgary Family Medicine (Calgary)

interested in modeling wellness in independent practice. • Resource
Attendees: Consider inviting Resources for Students in Distress as
detailed in Wellness BASICS Curriculum
(e.g. PFSP, PGME Wellness Office, Ombudsperson, etc.) to be

conference, depending on logistics and group consensus. • Possible

Calgary Region (stretch goal: on a SHIELD Helicarrier)
• Possible Retreat Content: o Presentation from PGME Wellness
Office – focusing on Individual Resiliency Skills o A Near-Peer and
Faculty Wellness Café – including discussing Wellness SMART Goal
Setting, mentorship, Q&A, etc. o Interactive Workshop on
Thriving in Practice Skills Development –Gratitude Exercises,
Narrative Medicine, etc. o Note: Our core work will be to
collaborate on a shared vision for the End-Year Wellness Retreat –
please bring your
awesome ideas and passion to the group to make it the best

Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology Pearl of the Week DRESS:
Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms
DRESS is a severe hypersensitivity reaction to a medication
and/or its metabolites. It can occur anywhere from 2-6 weeks
following drug exposure. Mortality is 10-15% in those affected. It
is thought to arise from:
• host genetic predisposition • immune activation by culprit
drugs • alterations in drug metabolism • drug-induced viral
reactivation (HHV-6)
The most common drugs include: • Antiepileptics: carbamazepine,
phenytoin, lamotrigine • Antibiotics:
trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, minocycline, dapsone • Other:
allopurinol, abacavir, sulfasalazine
Most common initial sign is a morbilliform or maculopapular
“measles-like” rash (image 1) Hematologic, hepatic, renal,
pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, gastrointestinal and endocrine
systems can be affected. The diagnosis is clinical, using one of
three scoring systems: RegiSCAR, Boquet or J-SCAR Differential
diagnosis includes:
• Other drug-related reactions: Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, Toxic
Epidermal Necrolysis, Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis
and Hypereosinophilic
• Viral infections: Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus •
Rheumatologic: Adult-onset Stills Disease • Graft-Versus-Host
disease.
Treatment involves stopping the culprit drug, supportive
measures, symptom control and initiation of corticosteroids for
severe disease with organ involvement.
Patients should be monitored for the complication of
hypothyroidism for up to two years following diagnosis of
DRESS.
The Calgary Clinical Pharmacology physician consultation service
is available Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm. The on-call physician is listed in
ROCA. Click HERE for clinical issues the CP service can assist
with.
The Poison and Drug Information Service (PADIS) is available
24/7 for questions related to poisonings. Please call

HEALTH AND MEDICAL EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP SYMPOSIUM PROGRAM
2019
Health and Medical Education Scholarship Symposium 2019 3
SYMPOSIUM LEARNING OBJECTIVES Appraise the dissemination of
current health and medical education research at the University of
Calgary. Discuss health and medical education research with
faculty, students and health care professionals. Demonstrate the
approaches faculty, students and health care professionals can take
in building a profile in educational scholarship and the support
afforded them by OHMES and other groups. Explain to peers good
practices in health and medical education research. KEYNOTE
ADDRESSES Realizing the Promise of Competency-Based Medical
Education Using Milestones Data in Postgraduate Medical Education
Stan Hamstra, PhD, Vice President – Milestone Research &
Evaluation, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical
Education
To many clinician educators, PGME Deans and faculty, it feels
like CBME has been thrust upon us for no obvious reason. We are
left to try and figure out exactly what the mandate is, and how to
implement it without any additional resources or support. Yet there
is an historical context for this massive change, and good reasons
why we needed to change the way we were educating future
physicians. This presentation will focus on implementation
challenges, as well as strategies and tools for success. Examples
of large-scale datasets from the accreditation system for graduate
medical education in the US will be used to illustrate how
competency data for individual residents can inform changes at the
national level. Appropriate contextual comparisons to the Canadian
context and the mandate of the Royal College will be made. By the
end of this plenary participants will be able to: Describe the
historical context and rationale for Competency-Based Medical
Education (CBME) Describe the current challenges to implementation
of CBME at the local level Discuss the value of using large-scale
datasets for improving PGME for learners, faculty, and patients
Competence or Excellence? Pedantics, pendulums, pedagogy, and
the essential role of medical education research Shelley Ross, PhD,
Associate Professor and Director of Research & Innovation for
the Competency-Based Achievement System, University of Alberta
There is a history in education of jumping on bandwagons and
following trends, with the result that there are often sudden
paradigm shifts that appear to come out of nowhere. Suddenly,
everyone is adapting or adopting curricula or assessment or policy
(and sometimes all three) to align with the latest approach. Just
as suddenly, there is often pushback (sometimes valid, sometimes
not), and a new trend replaces the old one. Medical education is no
exception. Since the Flexner report, there have been a series of
big new ideas in how we should be training our medical students and
residents. Problem-based learning, portfolios, and now
competency-based medical education are just some recent examples of
ideas that have been introduced and embraced, then critiqued and
(potentially) abandoned. Medical education research has an
essential role to play in breaking this cycle, and ensuring that
good evidence-based ideas and innovations gain traction. Specific
examples of how medical education research can be a driver for
rigour, reality, and excellence in the training of future health
professionals will be presented and debated. By the end of this
plenary, participants will be able to: Describe how and why
education often experiences cycles of trends and pendulum shifts
Critique the pros and cons of at least one example of a recent
trend in medical education Evaluate the ways in which medical
education research can play a role in ensuring that best practices
are
adopted for health professions training

Health and Medical Education Scholarship Symposium 2019 4
Medical Student Mistreatment Kevin O’Brien, MD, FACP, Associate
Professor, Morsani College of Medicine, University of South Florida
Medical student mistreatment is a real and common problem at
medical institutions across the globe. Mistreatment occurs in both
high-income and low-income nations. The consequences of
mistreatment are not trivial. Sadly, mistreatment continues into
residency training and beyond, even involving faculty physicians at
teaching institutions. Despite increased awareness of mistreatment,
data from the literature have demonstrated that the
incidence/prevalence has remained constant since the 1990’s. We
will be discussing a multi-institutional study that is taking a
proactive response to this prominent phenomenon in the hidden
curriculum. By the end of this plenary, participants will be able
to: Define what is medical student mistreatment Discuss the
prevalence of medical student mistreatment Discuss the consequences
of medical student mistreatment Interpret and assess the severity
of mistreatment using vignette scenarios (as compared to a national
data set) Propose action plans on how to deal with a potential
student mistreatment scenario (as compared to a national
data set) WORKSHOPS Getting into the Weeds of CBME: Tools for
Implementation and Improvement Stan Hamstra, PhD, Vice President –
Milestone Research & Evaluation, Accreditation Council for
Graduate Medical Education Sometimes program directors and faculty
are faced with genuine uncertainty about one of their residents,
and have difficulty making the right decision for promotion or
graduation. In this workshop, we will demonstrate how the quality
of data for making decisions about learners depends on how well
faculty educators understand and believe in the assessment process
and the tools they use to rate learners’ competence. This workshop
will help participants identify struggling residents earlier, and
demonstrate models of highly usable and valid assessment tools. We
will use examples that tie program-level data in with
national-level data to help faculty make better decisions about
individual learners, and for program-level educational quality
improvement.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Describe the characteristics of valid and usable assessment tools
Describe how national-level data can be used to help make decisions
about individual learners Discuss entrustment scales and how they
contribute to more valid assessment data
If it’s all about the learners, why aren’t they involved in the
research? The perils, pitfalls, and rewards of involving end users
in medical education research Shelley Ross, PhD, Associate
Professor and Director of Research & Innovation for the
Competency-Based Achievement System, University of Alberta Great
research happens regularly in medical education. The findings from
those projects are shared in various ways with the intention of
ensuring that best practices can be incorporated or continued
across the training continuum. Rarely, however, are learners,
preceptors, or directors of education programs actually involved in
the research beyond acting as participants. In this workshop,
participants will have the opportunity to debate the merits of
involving end users and stakeholders in research at all stages, as
well as the challenges of doing so. By the end of this workshop
participants will be able to: Describe the importance of including
end users in research projects List ways in which stakeholders and
users of medical education research findings can be involved in
research
projects Identify at least one approach to involving users in
research that can be applied in your research program

Getting the most out of the faculty evaluation process: Pearls,
pitfalls, and situated feedback in a group setting Kevin O’Brien,
MD, FACP, Associate Professor, Morsani College of Medicine,
University of South Florida By the end of this workshop
participants will be able to:
Describe a formal process to help faculty better understand the
evaluation schema Describe a common platform by which students’
skills can be assessed by faculty Describe a method of helping
faculty construct an informative narrative Understand their own
strengths and weaknesses as evaluators and teachers
Designing Educational Escape Games Anthony Seto, BHSc(Hons) MD
CCFP(EM), University of Calgary In the entertainment industry,
escape games are activities where a group of people are placed in a
room. They are tasked with completing a series of puzzles until
they ultimately find a way to escape this room, under a
pre-determined time limit. This type of game can be adapted for use
in a directly-observed, educational activity to foster skill
development in teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and other
medical education learning objectives. A post-game debrief can then
be used for feedback and discussion, self-reflection, and
reinforcement of learning points. This workshop will demonstrate
how escape games can be designed to suit medical education learning
objectives, where participants can engage in learning in an
innovative, collaborative, and fun way. The workshop draws from the
facilitator’s prior experience in developing a teamwork simulation
inside a medical school’s simulation theatre, in the form of an
escape game, for the purpose of teamwork skills training of second
year medical students. Workshop participants will have the
opportunity to observe an escape game demonstration and debrief.
Steps required to design and execute an escape game will be
outlined, and participants will begin the process of designing
escape games in breakout groups for learning objectives of their
group’s choice. The workshop facilitator is an escape game
enthusiast who has played over 70 escape games, led the design of 2
complete escape games, and contributed to the puzzles of 2 escape
games.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Observe an escape game demonstration Discuss the steps in
designing an escape game Design escape game puzzles to achieve
learning objectives
The Calgary Interprofessional Challenge: A Novel Model for
Interprofessional Education Rahim Kachra, MD, University of Calgary
Nishan Sharma, PhD, University of Calgary
During this interactive workshop, participants will work
together to solve problems using an approach to interprofessional
education used at the Calgary Interprofessional Challenge. After a
short competition, the facilitators will engage participants in a
discussion to further explore how we can refine interprofessional
education in medical education. By the end of this workshop,
participants will be able to:
Describe how a successful interprofessional education event may
be conducted Identify the importance of university-wide
interprofessional education Describe strategies to incorporate this
event into learning opportunities for your own students

OVERVIEWAlthough coming to terms with death and dying is part of
our work as physicians, it is not uncommon for us to have
considerable difficulty with the subject, especially when we are in
training and when we lose one of our own. Dr. Myers will discuss
the ways in which physicians typically react and cope with the
death of a colleague and explain the underlying biological,
psychological, socio-cultural and spiritual mechanisms that we use.
Despite the disequilibrium, pain and heartache of loss, it is
possible to grow and mature through such tragedy.
