The first Faculty Innovation in Education Awards were presented in 2014–15, and there have been nineteen recipients thus far. Four Research Awards have been granted, three for 2017–18 and one for 2018–19. The most recent recipients and their projects are listed below.The awardees have hailed from a broad range of U.S. medical schools, and while most have been junior or midlevel faculty, some more senior educators/researchers have also received funding. The projects have focused on a range of topics including clinical skills assessment and using innovative simulation and online technologies for teaching and assessment across the continuum from residency to practice.Final reports have been received from two of the three Faculty Innovation in Education Award cohorts whose funding cycles have been completed. The recipients noted the scarcity of funding for educational endeavors and were appreciative of the opportunity to pursue such activities and for the visibility the award provided within their institutions. In terms of their career trajectories, the projects generated results that served as the basis for presentations and publications and helped to establish an agenda for ongoing professional pursuits. In terms of challenges, the projects, especially IRB approval, often took longer than anticipated, and some technical issues with specific technology and software were encountered.Overall, the ABPN Directors have concluded that the projects met the objectives of the award program to provide models of innovative and sound educational and assessment practices in psychiatry and neurology and to support the professional development of educational practitioners/researchers in these fields.Larry R. Faulkner, MD, ABPN President and CEO, notes that, “The ABPN is very aware of the financial pressures facing many academic departments and the difficulty faculty often have in obtaining protected time to pursue innovative education and research projects. Hopefully, these awards will help especially younger faculty in initiating their academic careers.”The 2017 award committees included ABPN Directors and educational leaders in neurology and psychiatry. The members of the Faculty Innovation in Education Award Committee, chaired by Robert Golden, MD, were Drs. Allison Brashear (Vice Chair), Chandlee Dickey, Steven Epstein, David Fink, Laurie Gutmann, Ralph Jozefowicz, Jaffar Khan, and Christopher Thomas. The Research Award Committee, also chaired by Robert Golden, MD, included Drs. Kerry Levin (Vice Chair), L. John Greenfield, Jr., Ruth Levine, Michele Pato, Devon Rubin, Sanjay Singh, and Lowell Tong.Additional information, including specific objectives for each award and application forms, are posted on the ABPN website, with applications due in August 2018.Current Faculty Innovation in Education Award RecipientsDara V.

These examinations feature four major changes: disease-centered content, criterion-referenced cut score, a standardized score scale, and a new score report that electronically provides candidates more meaningful and user-friendly performance feedback.The redesigned content outlines require that examinations be constructed around a list of carefully selected disease categories. In addition, the outlines dictate that disease-oriented test questions focus on a physician’s abilities to understand, identify, analyze, and manage these medical problems.An examination cut score is used to decide who should pass or fail the certification examination. How the cut score is determined is critical to the examination defensibility. To set new cut scores for the 2017 certification examinations, committees with many physicians with diverse professional and demographic backgrounds reviewed every question in the assigned examination to determine the knowledge level that they collectively believed represents the passing performance. The decision-making body of the certification examinations reviewed the committee-recommended cut scores and finalized these scores.The ABPN certification examinations are standardized tests and, starting in 2017, scores for these examinations were standardized on a scale with a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 50. The score standardization means that scores for examinations in future years will be on this same scale. An important implication of the standardized scoring is that the standardized cut scores for the 2017 certification examinations will be applied to the subsequent examinations. A consistent passing and failing standard is the core to fairness for standardized tests. The standardization of cut scores will provide vital protection of ABPN’s certification examinations.The score reports for the 2017 primary certification examinations changed substantially. Instead of delivery by mail, ABPN sent score reports electronically. Examinees conveniently received scores in their secure and personal ABPN Physician Folios accounts. The electronic score report provides the standard score for the total test, the mean and standard deviation of first-time test takers, and the cut score. Thus, examinees can know how they performed relative to their first-time test taker peers. In addition, the score report provides graphic profiles of an examinees’ performance on the subtests relative to the minimum passing level, which is designed to help examinees identify their strengths and weaknesses. This paperless and more user-friendly score reporting is one of ABPN’s recent efforts to provide better services to its candidates.The results of the redesigned primary certification examinations are encouraging. All the primary certification examinations had high reliability. The end-of-examination survey results reflected examinees’ positive reactions. The ABPN believes that the changes and improvements greatly enhances the validity and defensibility of its primary certification examinations.Ambassadors Reinforce Life-Long Learning to Professional GroupsThe ABPN MOC Ambassador Program was developed in 2011 in anticipation of launching the Continuous MOC Program in 2012. With this program, trained volunteer diplomates communicate a consistent positive message about life-long learning and maintenance of certification to our diplomates via professional organizations, group practice settings and other groups. Our goal is to work together with the MOC Ambassadors to continue to keep the field informed about ABPN policies and programs.Thank you to the following psychiatrists and neurologists:Psychiatry AmbassadorsCarol Bernstein, MDJames Boehnlein, MDMelissa Buboltz, MDCarlyle Chan, MDKristen Dunaway, MDSteven Epstein, MDRichard Frierson, MDRita Hargrave, MDChristopher Lange, MDMary Lu, MDBarbara Lubrano Di Ciccone, MDGail Manos, MDAnnette Matthews, MDElinore McCance-Katz, MD, PhDAida Mihajlovic, MDSahana Misra, MDJonathan Morris, MD, MPHSandra Sexson, MDG.

The American Psychiatry Association and the American Academy of Neurology were solicited for names of committee volunteers. The group consists of practicing board certified psychiatrists and neurologists who provide input on how MOC impacts their practice and potentially improves patient care.Thank you to the following psychiatrists and neurologists:PsychiatryValerie Arnold, MDJ. Robert Batterson, MDLama Bazzi, MDL. Russell Pet, MDNeurologyCharlene Gamaldo, MDElaine Jones, MDEddie Patton, MDMichael Rosenbloom, MDPhysician Wellness and Burnout Explored at 2017 Crucial Issues ForumThe 2017 ABPN Crucial Issues Forum was held on April 9–10, 2017 in Chicago. The objective of the forum was to bring together ABPN directors and senior staff, representatives of major organizations in psychiatry and neurology, selected diplomates in clinical practice, and selected psychiatry and neurology residents and fellows to discuss factors contributing to physician wellness and burnout and what might be done to promote physician wellness and decrease burnout by medical schools, residencies, specialty boards, and professional societies. The meeting was chaired by Dr. Kerry Levin, ABPN Chair.On the first day, three plenary speakers gave summaries of the key factors associated with physician wellness and burnout. In the keynote address, Dr. Tait Shanafelt (Mayo Clinic) discussed what is known and not known about physician wellness and burnout. Afterward, Drs. Kerry Levin and Joan Anzia presented the ABPN’s perspective on what drives these factors for physicians. Later, small groups discussed specific drivers of wellness and burnout. Their conclusions are below:What are the specific drivers of physician wellness and burnout?Ten Drivers of Wellness.Peer support and connectednessSense of autonomy and controlProfessional culture at all levels that values and supports provider wellnessAvailability of effective tools to assess burnoutTraining on strategies to manage adverse eventsSupport systems, including familiesAppropriate work-life balanceLongitudinal relationships with patientsSense of professional life progressPersonal characteristics, including ResilienceTen Drivers of Burnout.Isolation, lack of connectedness, and lack of collegialityLoss of autonomy, authority, and controlLack of respect and statureLack of professional meaning and purposeLack of time and pressure to increase clinical serviceDecreased sense of professionalism in medicineEconomic pressure, including student debtElectronic health records and regulations without discernible valueLack of leadership, empathy and understandingPersonal characteristics, including perfectionism and obsessivenessOn the second day, two keynote panels discussed the role of specific professional groups in promoting physician wellness and decreasing physician burnout. Drs. Darrell Kirch (AAMC), Thomas Nasca (ACGME) and Mira Irons (ABMS) presented the perspectives of medical schools, residencies and specialty boards, respectively. Small group discussions afterward focused what these groups should do to promote physician wellness and decrease burnout. Following are their conclusions:What should medical schools, residencies, and specialty boards do to promote physician wellness and decrease physician burnout?Ten Medical School Strategies.Emphasize life experiences in student selection.Assess and improve the medical school culture concerning student wellness.Foster a sense of peer support and community among students.Encourage student self-awareness and recognition of strengths and limitations.Implement student and faculty wellness programs.Mentor students with faculty and residents.Minimize competition among students for grades and Step 1 scores.Increase meaningful student involvement with patients.Provide students with “boot camps” to prepare for residencies.Provide faculty with adequate time for student teaching.Ten Residency Strategies.Assess and improve the institutional culture concerning resident wellness.Foster a sense of peer support and community among residents and faculty.Implement a resident curriculum on burnout prevention and recognition.Establish a “buddy system” for new residents.Encourage resident self-awareness and recognition of strengths and limitations.Implement resident and faculty wellness programs.Mentor residents with faculty and senior residents.Encourage resident involvement in committees and teaching.Provide back-up for resident personal health and life event needs.Provide faculty with adequate time for resident teaching and supervision.Ten Specialty Board Strategies.Provide MOC credit for faculty education, teaching, and mentoring.Provide MOC credit for current activities of diplomates.Provide MOC credit for diplomate self-assessment of burnout.Provide MOC credit for diplomate wellness activities.Increase opportunities for professional involvement in Board activities.Increase the relevance of MOC requirements.Minimize the burden and cost of MOC requirements.Simplify the process of MOC.Support research on physician resilience and burnout.Support the development of a “tool kit” for burnout assessment and management.Later, Drs. Anita Everett (APA), Terrence Cascino (AAN) and Patrice Harris (AMA) summarized the topic from the professional society perspective and discussed initiatives they are spearheading around this issue. Afterward, small groups discussed strategies for professional societies to address wellness and burnout for the physician. Their conclusions were:What should professional societies do to promote physician wellness and decrease physician burnout?Ten Professional Society Strategies.Collaborate with other medical organizations and advocacy groups to increase recognition of the importance of physician well-being and the dangers of burnout.Disseminate information on best practices for promoting physician wellness and preventing burnout.Disseminate information on best practices for practice management and electronic health records.Advocate for reasonable governmental regulations and reimbursement for physicians.Provide opportunities for physician professional engagement.Conduct and support research on physician resilience and wellness and on strategies to identify and mitigate physician burnout.Advocate with the FSMB to minimize the effect of physician help seeking on medical licensure.Provide on-line resources for wellness education and sources of help for physicians.Advocate for the destigmatization of physician help seeking.Provide leadership training on issues related to physician wellness and burnout.More information on the 2017 Crucial Issues Forum is available in a separate publication on the ABPN website.Test Development Committee Names and membersAddiction PsychiatryWilliam Haning, MD, ChairKaren Miotto, MD, Vice ChairJames Berry, DOStuart Gitlow, MDGrace Hennessy, MDBrian Hurley, MDEugene Kim, MDBrain Injury MedicineDavid Baron, DOJodi Hawes, MDMichael Jaffee, MDGregory O’Shanick, MDDavid Ross, MDDavid Ruskin, MDSeth Tuwiner, MDFelise Zollman, MDChild and Adolescent Psychiatry CertificationLee Ascherman, MD, ChairJanice Forster, MD, Vice ChairDonald Bechtold, MDPeter Daniolos, MDAmanda Elliott, DOEllen Heyneman, MDClinton Martin, MDKathleen McKenna, MDAdair Parr, MDSandra Rackley, MDKenneth Rogers, MDCynthia Santos, MDDavid Schonfeld, MD *Cynthia Telingator, MDChild and Adolescent Psychiatry Maintenance of CertificationJeffrey Hunt, MD, ChairRobert Harper, MD, Vice ChairIrena Bukelis, MDRegina Bussing, MDJames Cullinan, DOTerry Lee, MDAlvin Lewis, MDJulie Sadhu, MDChild Neurology Maintenance of CertificationJohn Bodensteiner, MD, ChairNina Schor, MD, PhD, Vice ChairElizabeth Bebin, MDPatricia Crumrine, MDKara Lewis, MDJonathan Mink, MD, PhDShannon Standridge, DOAnn Tilton, MDClinical NeurophysiologyKerry Levin, MD, ChairJohn Kincaid, MD, Vice ChairLaurie Gutmann, MDIoannie Karakis, MDAdriana Palade, MDMark Quigg, MD, MScDevon Rubin, MDLinda Selwa, MDJinny Tavee, MDConsultation-Liaison PsychiatryJames Levenson, MD, ChairSteven Epstein, MD, Vice ChairMadeleine Becker, MDCatherine Crone, MDPaul Desan, MD, PhDMaryland Pao, MDMarcella Pascualy, MDTerry Rabinowitz, MDPeter Shapiro, MDEpilepsyPatricia Crumrine, MD, ChairKerry Levin, MD, Vice ChairImran Ali, MDRitu Bagla, MDDavid Dunn, MDAlica Goldman, MDAlison Pack, MDPatricia Penovich, MDJoseph Sirven, MDWilliam Theodore, MDForensic PsychiatryJeffrey Metzner, MD, ChairJeffrey Janofsky, MD, Vice ChairLiza Gold, MDMartin Guerrero, MDAnnette Hanson, MDDonald Meyer, MDRaymond Patterson, MDDelaney Smith, MDGeriatric PsychiatryRita Hargrave, MD, ChairElizabeth Santos, MD, Vice ChairJosepha Cheong, MDAriel Gildengers, MDHelen Kyomen, MDCindy Marshall, MDDinesh Mittal, MDIrene Ortiz, MDShilpa Srinivasan, MDHospice & Pallative MedicineThomas Strouse, MDInternational Examination–USGeorge Keepers, MD, ChairBeth Ann Brooks, MD, MSAJasvinder Chawla, MDIrving Kuo, MDPaul Leung, MDGail Manos, MDJames Shore, MDNeurodevelopmental DisabilitiesBruce Shapiro, MD, Chair *John Bodensteiner, MD, Vice ChairPeter Blasco, MD *Keith Coffman, MDSandra Friedman, MD *Imad Jarjour, MDAmy Newmeyer, MD *Max Wiznitzer, MDNeurology Maintenance of CertificationLaurie Gutmann, MD, ChairAllison Brashear, MD, Vice ChairImran Ali, MDZeina Chemali, MD, MPHJulie Hammack, MDAnn Killoran, MDMichelle Mauermann, MDMaryAnn Mays, MDLuis Mejico, MDMaria Sam, MDChristopher Skidmore, MDAndrew Southerland, MDGeneral Neurology (Neurology Part A)J.
