The 88th Seminar
| “Comparing Small Group Teaching Methods: Team Based Learning, Problem Based Learning and Case Based Learning” |
| SPEAKER: Malathi Srinivasan, MD, FACP (Professor of Medicine, University of California, Davis School of Medicine) |
| DATE: 28.3.2016 |
| SUMMARY: In this seminar, Dr. Srinivasan will take the audience through three distinct ways of conducting small group learning. The audience will actively participate in groups, to solve three different dilemmas – discovering whether an art piece is forged or real (using problem based learning), competing for correct group answers about team based learning, and working as a group with young graduate student returning to Japan (using case based learning). Each of these active learning formats varying in the degree of advanced preparation by the learner, and the degree of guidance during the seminar by the faculty. By the end of this seminar, participants will have a clear understanding of the differences between these teaching method and how to implement these techniques within their professional schools . The session will be 2 hours in direct experience of these techniques, followed by 30 minutes of discussion.． |

| “Revising the Japanese Medical Education Model Core Curriculum: Pathways to the Future of Medicine” |
| SPEAKER: Malathi Srinivasan, MD, FACP (Professor of Medicine, University of California, Davis School of Medicine) |
| DATE: 3.2.2016 |
| SUMMARY: The Japanese Ministry of Education and leading Japanese educators are reviewing the 2012 Japanese medical education model core curriculum – which has served as the content template for Japanese medical education for the training of all Japanese physicians. Until the last revision, the model core curriculum has focused mainly on biomedical and clinical content. At the last revision, behavioral sciences, public health, professionalism and self-directed learning content were added, with a strong recommendation to include participatory decision-making clerkships. The 2016 revision holds the promise to revolutionize Japanese medical education, with bold strides forward. Dr. Srinivasan has been a consultant for the 2016 model core curricular revision process, and will potential approaches (“evolutionary” and “revolutionary”) to meet the current and future healthcare needs of the Japanese public, healthcare learners and the Japanese Schools of Medicine. |

| “Creating Change in Academic Medicine – The Role of Leadership Strategies” |
| SPEAKER: Malathi Srinivasan, MD, FACP (Professor of Medicine, University of California, Davis School of Medicine) |
| DATE: 14.1.2016 |
| SUMMARY: Complex health care organizations must evolve to meet population needs, yet have a hard time changing focus or direction to spearhead new initiatives. In this seminar, we will discuss how organizations can create innovation that is evolutionary (change leadership) or revolutionary (disruptive innovations), along with the role of change management. We will address different leadership strategies that can be used for different institutional needs. |

The 85th Seminar
| “Admissions as a Curricular Tool: The Utility and Limits of Multiple Mini Interviews in Medical School Admissions” |
| SPEAKER: Malathi Srinivasan, MD, FACP (Professor of Medicine, University of California, Davis School of Medicine) |
| DATE: 21.12.2015 |
| SUMMARY: Who you admit into your university has profound impact upon the resources you need to train your learners, and the type of “final product” who will leave. During admissions, how much effort should you place in identifying the traits which are desirable in a practicing physician – such as communication skills, emotional intelligence or teamwork? To what extent can these skills be taught? A multiple mini interview (MMI) is a series of 10 very short encounters focusing on interpersonal skills and problem-solving, that occurs during the medical school admissions/interview process. In this session, we will explore sentinel issues in medical school admissions, and consider the role of the MMI in helping to shape the physician graduate characteristics of your medical school class. |

| “Addressing the Needs of the Struggling Medical Learner” |
| SPEAKER: Malathi Srinivasan, MD, FACP (Professor of Medicine, University of California, Davis School of Medicine) |
| DATE: 16.11.2015 |
| SUMMARY: As with other medical schools, the University of California, Davis has struggled with a variety of critical questions regarding medical education. In this discussion, weʼll share some approaches to the following questions: 1) How do we train physicians for new population and workforce needs? 2) What is an optimal duration of medical training? 3) How do we help struggling learners, while ensuring high quality education for all? 4) How do we integrate cutting edge science, while not losing core clinical skills? 5) How do we train and support medical educators, who have multiple competing needs? |
