Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Rural Health
  • Interdisciplinary Studies

Background:

  • Global shortage of healthcare professionals in rural areas necessitates targeted training programs.
  • The Rural Health Interdisciplinary Program (RHIP) successfully trains students for rural US practice.
  • Student-developed problem-based learning (PBL) cases are a core component of RHIP's educational model.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To retrospectively analyze 222 student-developed PBL cases from the RHIP.
  • To assess the extent to which these cases reflect rural New Mexico's demographics and health conditions.
  • To evaluate the cases' success in representing rural interdisciplinary healthcare issues and practices.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 222 problem-based learning (PBL) cases.

  • Evaluation of case content against rural New Mexico demographics and health profiles.
  • Assessment of case relevance to interdisciplinary rural healthcare practices.

    • Main Results:

    • PBL cases accurately reflect rural New Mexico's population demographics and prevalent health issues.
    • Cases effectively address interdisciplinary and rural clinical concerns.
    • Cases show limitations in addressing public health, financial, legal, ethical, and non-medical topics.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhance PBL case development by ensuring diverse interdisciplinary membership and specialized training.
    • Encourage faculty to guide students in addressing a broader range of health-related topics, including non-medical aspects.
    • Student-developed PBL cases offer a valuable method for learning rural healthcare and can be adapted for various educational settings.
