Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Systems
  • Interprofessional Collaboration

Background:

  • Systems-based practice is crucial for physicians but teaching methods are not well-established.
  • Effective interprofessional communication and understanding are vital in modern healthcare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an elective course designed to enhance fourth-year medical students' systems-based practice knowledge.
  • To assess the impact of an immersive, interprofessional experience on student and staff knowledge and communication.
  • To gauge the satisfaction levels of both participating students and interprofessional staff.

Main Methods:

  • A 2-week elective course for fourth-year medical students at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.
  • Students integrated into various non-physician, administrative, and interprofessional roles within the hospital.
  • Pre- and post-elective assessments of systems-based knowledge and interprofessional communication; staff surveys were also conducted.

Main Results:

  • All 14 participating students demonstrated quantitative improvements in systems-based knowledge.
  • Students reported a high value of the elective for understanding interdisciplinary care and communication.
  • 77% of surveyed staff reported high satisfaction, with many noting improved job satisfaction from student interaction.

Conclusions:

  • An immersive, hands-on interprofessional experience offers significant benefits for both medical students and healthcare staff.
  • This elective model is scalable and recommended as a standard component of medical student curricula nationwide.
