Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Systems Science
  • Internal Medicine Training

Background:

  • The evolving healthcare landscape necessitates that new medical graduates understand complex health systems.
  • Oregon Health & Science University's internal medicine residency program introduced a health systems curriculum in 1999.
  • A gap existed in residents' ability to actively apply learned health systems concepts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a practical component to the existing health systems curriculum.
  • To develop residents' skills in assessing healthcare systems and delivery issues.
  • To foster a deeper understanding of health systems concepts through self-directed projects.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of the Health Systems Independent Study Project (HSISP) in 2001 as a second curricular component.

  • HSISP involves third-year residents undertaking self-directed assessments of healthcare system or delivery challenges.
  • Projects culminate in presentations to all curriculum participants.

    • Main Results:

    • Residents gained focused understanding of health systems concepts and developed related skills.
    • Projects enhanced residents' systems knowledge and linked theory to clinical practice.
    • The initiative fostered networking and early career development opportunities for residents.

    Conclusions:

    • The Health Systems Independent Study Project effectively complements didactic learning in health systems science.
    • This experiential learning approach improves residents' comprehension and application of health systems principles.
    • The HSISP model supports professional growth and practical skill development in internal medicine residents.
