Research Description
Dr. Wilson’s research focuses on stress, coping, and quality of life. In clinical populations, including patients in pain, primary care patients, and medical students and residents. His current research interests focus on doctor-patient communication, the role of social support and social obstruction in health and illness and quality of life in professional education.
2011 Accomplishments
My effort in 2011 was heavily focused on continued development of the department’s medical student teaching program. The infrastructure for the department’s primary course, Introduction to Clinical Medicine, a year-long 12 credit course for M1 students, was enhanced through development of a new video access resource, improved user interface for the department’s online student portfolio system, increased use of simulation, and first use of our own productions of video interviewing training materials. Course evaluations improved substantially with “outstanding” ratings for the overall evaluation of 45% and “less than adequate ratings” of less than 1%. Overall faculty ratings increased to 81% “outstanding” and 0% “less than adequate”.
Further steps were taken to publish medical education research and obtain grant funding to help evaluate the teaching program. Educational data from the course resulted in two recently submitted manuscripts, presentation at national Internal Medicine meetings, and seven submissions to next year’s SGEA regional AAMC meeting. A refereed letter of intent to the Stemmler Fund for Medical education was accepted (one of 11/71 accepted) for a full submission for a 100K grant in January.
In terms of individual productivity, three refereed journal articles and five conference presentations occurred in calendar 2011, and the one grant submission. I participated in multiple committees related to the accreditation process and am currently a member of the M1 oversight committee and Chair of the ICM sequence committee for the curriculum revision. Three doctoral committees were completed this year, and I am a member of three other ongoing committees. I was selected to receive a Provost’s Outstanding Teacher award for 2011.
