Out of the wilderness: flipping the classroom to advance scholarship in an internal medicine residency program

Hawaii J Med Public Health. 2014 Nov;73(11 Suppl 2):2-3.

Abstract

Residents in an internal medicine residency program "flipped the classroom" in a series of learner-centered activities which included the creation of a medical student interest group, a continuing medical education symposium, and a journal supplement focused on wilderness medicine topics in Hawai'i and Asia Pacific. The project encompassed both scholarly activities (discovery, integration, application, and teaching) as well as scholarship (writing for publication). The project advanced the professional formation of residents by developing competencies and producing outcomes that are key features of the ACGME Next Accreditation System.
