Our plan is to design and
implement sound educational interventions to increase medical
students’ mix of competencies and skills via increased participation
in interdisciplinary teams and clinical experiences while increasing
the number of medical students that choose a primary care
residency. We propose to develop structures and resources in the
department to permit major enhancements to the entire predoctoral
curriculum and faculty support.
Goal I: Develop,
implement, and evaluate an interdisciplinary, evidence-based
medicine curriculum. This longitudinal curriculum, spanning the
entire four years of medical students’ education, will be an
integral part of the new “patient-centered learning” curriculum with
administration conducted by DFM. Students will be taught to
properly frame and answer clinical questions; provided instruction
and access to authoritative evidence-based research databases; and
instructed and facilitated in the performance of chart
reviews/surveys of clinical care (Goal II).
Goal II: Develop,
implement and evaluate a practice-based chart review of clinical
care program. Students will use the principles of evidence-based
medicine to conduct problem-based, faculty-guided, chart reviews of
clinical care family practice clerkship sites and other practices
throughout North Dakota.
Goal III: Enhance the
Department of Family Medicine’s capabilities to coordinate, support,
and facilitate interdisciplinary medical education and
practice-based inquiry. |
