• Identify gaps in available curricular materials

• Recognize solutions to common challenges

What is population health?

Definition of population health

“The health outcomes of a group ofindividuals, including, the distributionof such outcomes within a group”

Medical education:

Flexner’s principles • The training, quality, and quantity of physicians

should meet the health needs of the public

• Collaborations between the academic medicine and public health communities… benefits both

HQ Pathway 5: Resident/fellow, faculty education on

reducing health care disparities.

Focus

• Extent to which individuals receive education on clinical

site’s priorities/ goals for addressing health care disparities in

its patient population.

• Extent to which individuals receive training in cultural

competency relevant to patient population served.

• Proportion aware of clinical site’s progress in

meeting its goals/priorities.

Our vision is to:

• Collaborate

• Align with what we’re already doing

• Identify/Develop Relevant Population Health

Milestones

• Match to available curricular, assessment, and

evaluation tools

What are you doing well?

What is your biggest challenge?

Let’s tackle one or two together.

Q-Sort “Game”

We asked “your help” prioritizing some potential population milestones

Where did we find them?

• Extracted from existing specialty milestones

• Identified from literature review

• Editorial license . . .

What is Q-Sort?

Q-Sort Findings

Competency Domains PH 1-4

• Applies principles of public health

• Applies principles of community engagement

• Utilizes critical thinking to address

population health

• Demonstrates team and leadership

skills for population health

Small Group Task

• You are seated within small

groups at your table by

“milestone”

• Introduce yourself

• Analyze/Edit your milestone

(use worksheet)

Small Group Task

Analyze/Edit your milestone (use worksheet)

• Is it relevant at some level for all/most resident specialties?

• Can you make it more so?

• Are levels appropriately progressive?

• Are levels sufficiently robust? Too hard? Too easy?

Is 5 “a stretch”; is 3-4 where “most residents might be at

program completion”?

• How might this be best “assessed”?
