    Assessing a Longitudinal Educational Experience for Continuous Quality Improvement
    (Indiana University School of Medicine Education Day, 2024-04-26) Masseria, Anthony; Birnbaum, Deborah R.
    This presentation explores the use of assessment tools to promote adaptability and continuous quality improvement (CQI) in a large educational program. The Scholarly Concentrations Program is a statewide program complementing the core medical school curriculum and empowering students to delve into topics of personal interest. The pilot was launched with a “CQI” mindset, and after three years, a robust assessment plan is gathering feedback. While “building the plane as we fly it”, the program has grown from 100 students in its first year to over 400 in its third. A robust, longitudinal evaluation plan is critical. The intended goal is to use this program example to replicate it with other large educational programs anywhere.

    Effects of Functional Movement-Based Myofascial Release Therapy on Shoulder Range of Motion in a Collegiate Pitcher: A Case Report
    (2025-04-25) Heumann, Ryan; Waltz, Matt; Garcia-Hosokawa, Marcel; Chlebowski, Arthur
    Strong, repetitive forces sustained by the shoulder joint during overhead throwing sports can cause alterations in range of motion (ROM) of the joint itself, which can lead to risk of injury. Currently, there are several established therapies to increase ROM and decrease injury risk. This case report investigates the use of combinational functional myofascial release and chiropractic therapies, and its effect on throwing shoulder ROM and pain in a collegiate baseball player. After twelve sessions of therapy, external rotation increased by 20.64° (16.98%) and internal rotation increased by 18.51° (61.30%). This increase in ROM provides evidence for a less common therapeutic technique and its possible effect on decreasing risk of injury in overhead throwing athletes.

    Regional Medical Campuses: Leveraging our Structure
    (2020-03-06) Birnbaum, Deborah R.; Walvoord, Emily; Ryan, Elizabeth R.
    The focus of this session presentation at the 2020 IU School of Medicine Education Day is on how the School is leveraging its regional campus model. The School is the nation’s largest by enrollment, with nine campuses, eight of which are considered regional campuses. After a review of various regional campus models, an example of scholarship that reports on how IU School of Medicine regional campus students perform in the Match compared to main (Indianapolis) campus students is shared. The session presentation also examines the unique way IU School of Medicine is leveraging a Scholarly Concentrations Program for educational enhancement, reputational focus for regional campuses, deeper community engagement, and increased student and faculty scholarship.

    Scholarly Concentrations Program: A PRIME Approach to Addressing Care for the Medically Underserved and Vulnerable Populations
    (2022-04-28) Birnbaum, Deborah R.; Rojas, Michelle; Allen, Bradley L.; Wallach, Paul M.
    Examine how well the structure of the Scholarly Concentrations Program and content of each concentration relates to the goals of the federal Health Resources and Services Administration grant received to create more interest and prepare more medical school graduates to care for medically underserved and vulnerable populations. The grant funds the Primary Care Reaffirmation for Indiana Medical Education, or PRIME. project. A review of how concentrations align with the grant was conducted by reviewing program, concentration and course learning objectives and mapping to the grant objectives. Numerous concentrations were found to be an excellent fit, creating a PRIME opportunity to enhance the SC Program and move the needle on the grant objectives.
