Biographical summary
Dr. Kelm's research focus is on how to improve medical education
for physicians-in-training. Much of her educational focus is geared to the
intensive care unit, which is a high-stakes environment with critically ill
patients. Her research includes procedural skills training and competency and simulation-based
education for procedures and infrequent events such as cardiopulmonary
resuscitation. The purpose of this research is to guarantee that our future
doctors are trained adequately and appropriately for urgent invasive bedside
procedures and medical emergencies; in addition, with this research, Dr. Kelm
hopes to improve patient safety and patient outcomes with a reduction in
post-procedural complications.
- Procedural skills. Dr. Kelm is looking into what makes
effective procedural teachers so that physicians-in-training are appropriately
trained. This will include the creation of an assessment tool and validation of
that tool. The goal of this line of research is to create effective invasive
bedside procedural teachers.
-
Procedural Competency. Procedures are common in the
intensive care unit and often occur in an urgent manner. This line of research
will evaluate how to determine if physicians-in-training are competent in their
procedural skills. The goal of this is to ensure the highest level of patient
safety and improvement in patient outcomes.
-
Simulation-based education. Dr. Kelm has prior experience
using simulation as a means of teaching physicians-in-training for both invasive
bedside procedures as well as cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The focus of this
research has been on interprofessional education, teamwork, and communication. She
has used novel techniques such as mindfulness meditation as a means to improve
teamwork for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
