MPCCOctober 12, 2012

Drivers: Local needs/challenges• Physician shortage current – perhaps 1,800• By 2020: 4,000-6,000• Closing the gap and the ongoing loss of physicians to

their communities through retirement, etc.• Distributional issue

• Recruiting to rural environment• Retaining physicians in rural environment• Who will come, who will stay?• Pipelines-AHEC

• Inability to recruit and retain in central-north region• Let’s start our own medical school!

Challenge: Criticality of retention

• Retain currently practicing physicians• Retain our trainees• Issue of access to care

• Physician supply: global, by specialty – general surgery, psychiatry, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics

• Physician distribution – geographic• Distribution - specialties

Medicine’s Challenges/Drivers of change:

(Reports: Macy, HHMI, AAMC)• Accelerating pace of scientific discovery• Calls for more public accountability• The economy• Rising cost of health care• Shortfalls in health care quality: IHI call for care that is safe, effective, pt-ctrd., timely, equitable (personal, evidence-based, holistic)

• Racial/ethnic disparities• Rising burden of chronic illness/disability (boomers)

Challenges/needs – improving medical education• Re-define foundation sciences of medicine

• Psychology, social science, quality improvement, decision science, epidemiology, EBM…

• Social determinants of health/wellness• CQI and Evidence-based practice

• Facilitate problem solving and self-directed learning skills

• Assure students experience continuity of care• Emphasis on community-based education rather than the hospital (reality, retention)

Improving medical education

• Prepare students to work as team members (inter-professional teams)

• Increase knowledge of public health and non-biological determinants of health and disease• CQI in practice• Reporting publicly, and for MOC

• Develop teaching and mentoring skills of faculty – lecturing does not facilitate learning…

Improving medical education

• Proper learning environment• Hidden curriculum and professionalism (Hafferty)• Learning in simulated and actual clinical environment

• Simulation• Patient presentation model (rich case model, digital presentation)• Standardized, simulated patients• Teaching OSCE – actual patients• Computer simulations

• Integration of instruction• Clinical relevancy of content

Carnegie 2010-Med Ed System Expectations• Creates opportunities for integrative and collaborative

learning• Inculcates habits of inquiry and improvement• Provides a supportive learning environment for

professional formation (students and residents)• Advances health of patients and populations• Standardizes learning outcomes• Integrate formal learning with clinical experience –

community engagement• Develops habits of inquiry and improvement into medical

education at all levels• Focuses on progressive formation of professional identity

The CMU plan• Location of the college• Holistic admissions process• The curriculum• The teachers and mentors• The training sites• Control debt• AHEC

Mission

•Prepare exceptional physicians• Improving access to individualized, essential care (health care delivery)

•Focus in rural and medically underserved regions of Michigan

• Rural/small community focus• Differentiated skill set• Generalist focus: (FM,IM, Peds, Gen Surg, Ob/Gyn, Psych, EM,

PM&R)

Vision

• Excellence in instruction/active learning• Team-based learning experiences• Early patient contact • Student-centered environment/program• Patient-Centered care• Residencies (new, distributed)• Community-based, 11 affiliations thus far

Future Practice of Medicine• Patient-centered care

• Patients as individuals and member of population to be cared for supporting health assessment, patient outreach, illness prevention strategies

• Systematic assessment and improvement of quality indicators for physicians, hospitals, systems, patient populations

• Coordinates and delivers care through organized systems

• Places value on cost-effective care• Helps address constraints on health care resources

Helps to define physician skill set for future

Formal Knowledge/ Courses embedded in:

Clinical Experience (real and virtual), in an environment of:

Inquiry, Discovery, Innovation
