Beyond Cognitive Competence:
Linking Community Experiences to Advocacy and Professionalism
October 13-17 2010
AVIA Savannah
Savannah, GA
Medical
schools and residency programs are
striving to meet the challenges of teaching and assessing the core
competencies. But it’s time to move BEYOND the cognitive aspects of
these competencies to focus on methodologies that bring real-world
substance -- a face -- to patient-centered care, cultural
sensitivity, public health and prevention, advocacy, and
professionalism. The 2010 ABSAME Annual Meeting will provide a lively,
interactive forum for behavioral scientists,
other health care professionals, and community
leaders to brainstorm about forming
partnerships to create novel educational
and service opportunities for trainees. The focus will be
on showcasing instructional models based on community
initiatives outside the familiar health care arena. Our goal
is to capitalize on the power of non-traditional experiential
learning to increase knowledge, enhance
skills, heighten awareness, and -- most
importantly -- change attitudes .
