Closing the gap between undergraduate medical education and practice realities of today and tomorrow
Presenter: Lotte Dyrbye, MD, MHPE, FACP
September 24, 12 PM ET

During this session Dr. Dyrbye, the PI on Mayo Medical School’s Accelerating Change in Medical Education Grant, will describe efforts to design, implement, and evaluate a new model of science of health care delivery (SHCD) education, generate milestones specific to SHCD and novel assessment tools, and a ‘resiliency toolbox’ of resources and to better prepare students to care for themselves and each other.

IAMSE Web Seminar: "A Developmental Pursuit of Foundational Scientific Knowledge"

A Developmental Pursuit of Foundational Scientific Knowledge

Presenter: Kim Lomis, MD, Vanderbilt School of Medicine

September 17, 12 PM ET

This session will describe efforts at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine to inculcate attention to the scientific foundations of medicine during the post-clerkship phase (years 3 and 4 in our revised “Curriculum 2.0”). We will discuss “Integrated Science Courses,” which intertwine ongoing foundational learning with clinical experiences to enhance student perception of relevance. We will discuss a model to intentionally foster master workplace learners by articulating a process for ongoing learning throughout one’s medical practice. Finally, we will discuss the use of shared developmental milestones throughout the entire curriculum to measure students’ approach to learning and ongoing knowledge acquisition.

IAMSE Web Seminar: "Value Added Student Roles that Align Education and Health System Needs"

"Value Added Student Roles that Align Education and Health System Needs"

 Presenter: Jed Gonzalo, MD & Britta Thompson, PhD, MS
 September 10, 12:00 PM ET

This session will describe Penn State College of Medicine’s new Systems Navigation Curriculum (SyNC) which involves building relationships and collaborating with leaders of affiliated health systems in central Pennsylvania to design educational experiences that align medical education with health system needs. SyNC, launched in August 2014, combines a course in the Science of Health Systems with an immersive experience as a patient navigator. We will focus our discussion on the patient navigation component which provides opportunity for value added student roles in clinical settings in the Penn State Hershey Health System and other health systems throughout central Pennsylvania. In addition, we will discuss how the longitudinal curriculum integrates core systems sciences such as health policy, high-value care, and population and public health with two threads related to evidence-based medicine, along with teamwork and leadership training throughout seven modules. Both the curriculum and patient navigation component are designed to allow students to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to function effectively amid the complexities of an evolving health system.
