DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop an innovative, comprehensive curriculum designed to increase medical students' knowledge and skills in the behavioral and social sciences (BSS) related to health. Curriculum development in this area will contribute to OHSU's long-held dedication to providing the best medical education possible in primary care. The efficacy of this curriculum will be evaluated through measures of student BSS knowledge, skills, and attitudes prior to and after the new curriculum is implemented. Building upon existing strengths, current offerings and teaching methods will be expanded to create a curriculum in the six BSS domains and all 26 specific issues identified by the IOM as essential to the sensitive and effective practice of medicine. (1) The new BSS curriculum will be fully integrated with and serve as the new patient-centered core of the OHSU required four-year curriculum. Its design will ensure that content and activities may be disseminated to other medical schools. Our specific aims include: 1 - Develop, implement, and evaluate a four-year curriculum designed to increase medical students' knowledge and skills in the BSS related to health. 2 - Increase the knowledge and skills of faculty, residents, other researchers, and practicing physicians in the BSS related to health. 3 - Disseminate BSS curriculum and accompanying teaching materials to other medical schools as well as other health care professional schools. 4 - Evaluate the impact of the new curriculum on medical students' knowledge and skills in the BSS related to health by means of valid evaluation measures and procedures. 5 - Foster health-related BSS research and careers within OHSU and catalyze further development of BSS training for health care professionals with the ultimate goal of advancing the health of the nation. The strength of this proposal is that the process of curriculum development will provide OHSU and potentially other medical schools across the country with a full four-year curriculum with an integrated, developmentally appropriate and rigorously tested BSS curriculum. It will also engender faculty research, peer-reviewed publications, and national presentations regarding the importance of medical student training and physician knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the behavioral and social sciences.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的总体目标是开发一个创新的，全面的课程，旨在提高医学生在行为和社会科学（BSS）与健康相关的知识和技能。 这方面的课程开发将有助于OHSU长期致力于提供最好的初级保健医学教育。 本课程的效果将通过学生BSS知识，技能和态度的措施之前和之后的新课程实施评估。在现有优势的基础上，将扩大现有的课程和教学方法，以创建六个BSS领域的课程，以及IOM确定的所有26个具体问题，这些问题对敏感和有效的医学实践至关重要。 (1)新的BSS课程将与OHSU要求的四年制课程完全整合，并作为新的以患者为中心的核心。其设计将确保内容和活动可以传播到其他医学院。 我们的具体目标包括：1.制定、实施和评估一个四年制课程，旨在提高医学生在BSS中与健康相关的知识和技能。 2 -增加教师，居民，其他研究人员和BSS中与健康相关的执业医生的知识和技能。3.向其他医学院和其他卫生保健专业学校传播BSS课程和配套教材。4.通过有效的评估措施和程序，评估新课程对医学生在BSS中与健康有关的知识和技能的影响。5.促进OHSU内与健康相关的BSS研究和职业生涯，并促进BSS培训的进一步发展，以促进国家健康的最终目标。该提案的优势在于，课程开发过程将为OHSU和全国其他可能的医学院提供完整的四年制课程，包括综合的，适合发展的和经过严格测试的BSS课程。 它还将产生教师的研究，同行评审的出版物，并就医学生培训和医生的知识，技能和态度在行为和社会科学的重要性国家介绍。
