Abstract:
The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (VTCSOM) is a 4-year allopathic medical school in Roanoke, VA. The curriculum is organized into four learning domains: basic science, clinical science, research, and interprofessionalism (IPE). A recent curriculum renewal effort allowed the school to embark upon a redesign of the IPE learning domain to incorporate new core content from health systems science (HSS). We describe how our unique approach to IPE is being preserved as we innovate to produce graduates who are future thought leaders and "systems citizens," prepared to deliver patient care with an expanded knowledge of the health systems in which they will eventually practice.
