| Title | Development of an Undergraduate Medical Education Professionalism Remediation Module |
| Background/Purpose | Professionalism is a foundational component of medical education and core value in the Undergraduate Medical Education (UGME) program at the University of Ottawa. Occasionally, a student may demonstrate a lapse in professionalism for which remediation is warranted. Reflection is a key component of Professional Identity Formation (PIF), as it allows students to develop insight into their past behaviour and how others may perceive it. The purpose of this project was to create an online remediation module, intended as a supplementary tool for reflection to support the process of PIF in medical students who exhibit a professionalism lapse. |
| Methods | Common professionalism lapse themes were identified based upon a review of documented professionalism lapses within the Faculty of Medicine UGME office, input from UGME Program content experts, and a review of the literature. Ten case-based animated video scenarios were created. |
| Results | Ten common themes of professionalism lapses were identified. The animated scenario format allowed the utilization of several evidence-based learning elements including open-ended questions prompting reflective responses and case-specific feedback. Completion of the module also requires a reflective essay submitted to the faculty member responsible for the student's remediation, with further opportunity for discussion. |
| Discussion | Reflection is a key learning element in remediation of behavioural lapses. An online animated video format permitted a multi-targeted approach to provide insight, reflection, and feedback for ten common themes of professionalism lapses in UGME. Future studies may aim to validate the use of these modules and to provide a framework by which remediation success over time may be evaluated. |
