“…Together, these three categories encompass the entire CanMEDS framework to help make students medical experts (Figure 2). (16,27) Specifically, the category of communication directly connects to the communicator and collaborator traits (Figure 2). ( 16 Theatre encourages awareness so trainees can understand how eye contact, body language, and facial expressions emphasize their intended messages and feelings, traits that will help medical students understand "how empathy is experienced and expressed."…”

“…The CanMEDS framework focuses on how physicians are to be healthcare leaders, a trait which connects to strong medical education and communication skills. (16,27) Theatre and drama as experiential education allow students to expand their didactic healthcare knowledge and clinical skills, which they can carry for-ward in leadership positions (Figure 2). Notably, plays (applied theatre) allow undergraduate medical students to appreciate various perspectives of a scene.…”

Background: Thematic arts have been integrated throughout various undergraduate medical education programs to improve students’ clinical skills, knowledge, and behaviours to be clinically competent physicians. Applied theatre and drama use theatrical performances and exercises respectively to guide education. Several medical schools across Canada and the United States have incorporated applied theatre and drama within their curriculums, but there is currently no compilation of these initiatives. Methods: Using Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework for scoping reviews, the two authors searched journal databases for articles pertaining to theatre/drama activities being used in undergraduate medical education in Canada and the United States; search terms revolved around applied theatre and undergraduate medical education. Twenty articles were read in full, 14 were included in this review. The articles were subjected to content analysis to understand how these studies connected with the CanMEDS framework to understand the impacts and merits of applied theatre and drama in undergraduate medical education. Results: Content analyses generated three parent-categories of how theatre and drama can help medical students improve their communication skills, creative medical learning, and aid their professional development. These three categories touched upon all seven aspects of the CanMEDS framework, indicating the values of drama being included in medical education. Conclusion: This scoping review illustrates the intersections of thematic arts in undergraduate medical education by highlighting how applied theatre or drama activities connect to the entire CanMEDS framework. This review provides insights to current theatre and drama initiatives to aid medical faculty with their undergraduate medical curricula developments.

“…Resident wellness curricula (RWC) aim to add support to residents rather than detract from hours of experience. Ideally, the support offered in an RWC should include initiatives that are both active and passive, preventive and responsive, and address the spheres of physical, mental, educational, social, financial, and lifestyle wellness [7,14-15]. Given that RWC are a relatively new concept, there is currently a lack of literature demonstrating efficacy with validated instruments.…”

BackgroundRecent literature highlights the alarming prevalence of burnout, depression, and illness during residency training; a trend that is also linked to suboptimal patient care. Dedicated wellness curricula may be one solution to this concerning issue.PurposeTo determine the effect of a multi-faceted wellness curriculum during emergency medicine residency training on wellness scores and to assess resident satisfaction with the program.MethodsThis study was conducted via a longitudinal survey. In 2009, a faculty-derived resident wellness curriculum (F-RWC) was initiated. This program was then bolstered with a parallel resident-derived curriculum (R-RWC) one year later, in 2010. Emergency medicine residents were surveyed in 2009, 2010, and 2011 to assess wellness at baseline, after one year of the F-RWC, and after one year of combined RWCs, respectively. Surveys included two validated assessment instruments (the Brief Resident Wellness Profile (BRWP) and the SF-8TM Health Survey), a satisfaction Likert scale, and a demographics information sheet.ResultsThe survey response rates were 89% (n=17), 100% (n=17), and 83% (n=24) from 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively, for a total of 58 participants. From baseline in 2009, there was a significant improvement in resident wellness, with the addition of parallel RWC by 2011, as measured by the BRWP (p=0.024). The faces scale, a subset of the BRWP, showed a trend toward benefit but did not reach statistical significance (p=0.085). There was no evidence of a statistically significant change in SF-8TM scores over time. Participants consistently reported positive satisfaction scores with RWC initiatives.ConclusionsDedicated RWC, with input from both faculty and resident physicians, improved wellness during residency training with a high degree of participant satisfaction. Such programs are needed to support resident physicians during their training.
