The Morbidity & Mortality Conference is

held each Friday for Residents in the UH

OB-GYN Residency Program

Mobile Audience Response Appsin Medical Education - the M&M Conference

The OB-Gyn Residency

Program

The University of Hawaii

Obstetrics and Gynecology

residency is a four year,

post-doctoral training

program for individuals

planning to specialize in

womens health. The 24

residents are evenly

divided between the four

progressive years of

instruction.The M&M Conference

Each week the program

hosts a Morbidity and

Mortality conference (M &

M Conference) dedicated

to reviewing unexpected

and unfortunate outcomes

related to care on the four

primary services of low-risk

obstetrics, maternal-fetalmedicine, benign

gynecology and

gynecologic oncology.

The senior resident oneach service creates a list

of patients from the

previous week. The

moderator selects the most

"instructional" cases and

calls on the residents

involved to come to the

podium and present each

of them.As the

presentation progresses,

the moderator will often

interrupt to probe their

understanding of the case

by asking questions. At

the end of the presentation,

audience members can ask

questions as well.

A brief discussion of the

case follows the

presentation. Residents

who are shy, non-confrontational or lacking

in knowledge-base

confidence often are

reticent about participating.This reluctance to

participate also makes it

difficult to make formative

assessments of the

learning experience for the

audience as a whole.

Purpose and Rationale

The purpose of this project

is to increase engagement

and participation of theresidents who do not

usually respond using a

free mobile audience

response application. The

assumption is that

increased engagement and

participation will enhance

the value of the M & M

Conference as an

important learning tool in

the residents medical

education.
