|

|
Text: |
A learner-centered course focused on each student’s specific
learning objective, which are described in the students
learning contract. Along with student objectives, the
learning contract identifies the resource needs, timeline
for learning, and evaluation measures |
|
Goal: |
Subinternships in inpatient general medicine or medical
intensive care. Medicine subspecialties including
cardiology, pulmonary, infectious disease, rheumatology,
endocrinology, gastroenterology and courses of
individualized content based upon unique student interest. |
|
|
Longitudinal Clinic |
|
Status: |
Voluntary pilot project (92-98% of students each year),
participants are randomly selected with remainder of
students as controls. This is a joint project along with
Family Practice and Pediatrics. |
|
Length: |
Bi-weekly for two years. |
|
Number of Students: |
Twelve in Internal Medicine and eight in Family Practice. |
|
Rationale: |
Longitudinal responsibility for the comprehensive care of
patients is the defining experience separating generalist
practice from specialist care. Several medical schools have
experimented with longitudinal clinics for medical students
that have been successful at providing students with
long-term relationships with attending physicians, but much
less successful at providing ongoing relationships with
patients. This experiment implements a unique model of care
(practice groups within faculty private practice) that
provides the opportunity for long-term continuity between
the patient, student, and the attending, thus facilitating
the learning of the primary care principles of
comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous care.
At OU, Tulsa, a pilot MSLC was began in 1995. It is highly
popular with students, with more than 95% of beginning MS3’s
volunteering to participate each year. At present, the Tulsa
MSLC accommodates about a third of students. After two years
in MSLC, students typically have followed, along with their
attending, a continuity panel of 25-35 patients. The Tulsa
MSLC has strong support from the Dean, Chairs, Clerkship
Directors, and Program Directors.
|
|
MSLC Goal: |
To form a triadic relationship over time between medical
student, attending, and patient. Maintaining continuity to
patients through commitment to the group practice is the
essential element in this project. |
