Integrating Social and Behavioral Sciences into Undergraduate Medical Education

描述(由申请人提供)：医学教育的主导模式不能充分培养医生，以满足多样化人口快速发展的需求。了解行为和社会因素在健康中的作用，如何改变这些因素，以及认识到自我是治愈的工具，是高质量医学教育的基本组成部分。该项目以LOM关于医学教育中的社会和行为科学(SBS)的报告为基础，将为所有年份的医学教育开发SBS课程，特别关注将SBS知识“发扬”到三年级和四年级，并“接种”学生对贬低SBS的隐藏课程的认识。“管道”的学生和教职员工将通过特殊的集中领域和教师发展计划接受SBS教学、领导力和研究方面的高级培训。基于技能的能力评估和学员档案将提供形成性反馈，并推动持续质量改进。传播模块化的教育产品和流程将扩大价值和影响。 该项目的广泛目标是为所有年份的本科医学教育创建新的课程，在全国传播SBS课程，并在SBS促进与健康相关的研究和职业发展，这将通过四个具体目标在五年内实现：1)扩展加州大学旧金山分校的本科医学学生课程(MS1-4)，以确保充分覆盖6IOM的内容领域。将特别关注在临床助理(MP3)和进修年(MSC)为所有学生发展和“发扬”社会和行为科学培训；2)发展学生选择的集中领域(MS1-4)，目标是有希望成为SBS研究、教育和病人护理领导者的特殊“管道”学生。为新的教师发展和导师招聘计划准备“流水线”教师。与健康和社区中心协调，在学生和教职员工中促进SBS研究；3)开发、实施和评估基于社会和行为科学技能的能力和能力评估，并按学员年份进行评估。评估已开发的课程材料和整体项目影响；4)向其他医疗和卫生专业学校传播教育产品--包括SBS案例手册和教学指南。该项目通过提高医生在面谈、促进行为改变和建立治疗关系方面的技能来影响公共健康。受支持的SBS研究将有助于提高对健康和疾病中的社会和行为因素的理解。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dominant models of medical education do not sufficiently prepare physicians to meet the rapidly evolving needs of a diverse population. Knowledge of the roles of behavioral and social factors in health, how to change these factors, and awareness of the self as an instrument of healing are essential components of a quality medical education. Building from the lOM's report on the social and behavioral sciences (SBS) in medical education, this project will develop SBS curricula for all years of medical education with a particular focus on "carrying forward" SBS knowledge to the 3rd and 4th years and "inoculating" students against a hidden curriculum that devalues SBS. "Pipeline" students and faculty will receive advanced training in SBS teaching, leadership, arid research through special Areas of Concentration and faculty development programs. Skill-based competency assessments and learner portfolios will provide formative feedback and drive continuous quality improvement. Dissemination of modular educational products and processes will broaden value and impact. This project's broad goals of creating new curricula for all years of undergraduate medical education, nationally disseminating SBS curricula, and fostering health-related research and careers in SBS will be achieved through 4 specific aims over five years: 1) Expand the UCSF undergraduate medical student curriculum (MS 1-4) to ensure adequate coverage of the 6IOM content domains. Special focus will be given to the development and "carrying forward" of social and behavioral science training in the clinical clerkships (MP3) and in the advanced studies year (MSC) for all students; 2) Develop the student-selected Areas of Concentration (MS 1-4) that target special "pipeline" students with promise to be SBS leaders in research, education, and patient care. Prepare "pipeline" faculty in new faculty development and mentor recruitment programs. Promote SBS research in both pipeline students and faculty in coordination with the Center for Health and Community; 3) Develop, implement, and evaluate social and behavioral science skill-based competencies and competency assessments by year of learner. Evaluate developed curricular materials and overall project impact; 4) Disseminate educational products - including an SBS case book and teaching guide - to other medical and health professional schools. This project impacts public health by improving physician skills in interviewing, promoting behavior change, and building therapeutic relationships. Supported SBS research will help improve the understanding of social and behavioral factors in health and disease.
