Strengthening Behavioral & Social Science in Medical School Education (R25)

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在开发和加强行为和社会科学（BSS）的医学院课程，该课程被医学研究所视为医学教育的高度优先事项。具体来说，叶史瓦大学（爱因斯坦）的阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院，在其先前的K 07赠款的基础上，将与布朗大学（AMS）的沃伦·阿尔珀特医学院合作实现这一目标。他们还将与美国医学院联盟合作：在过去5年中，9所学校在K 07项目上合作，在未来5年内，这个新的R25联盟将扩大到18所学校。Einstein/AMS计划将主要关注人口健康，这是BSS课程的一个组成部分，需要关注，但要建立在两个机构的互补优势之上。通过这项工作，我们将解决以下具体目标：联盟具体目标：将目前的行为和社会科学联盟从9所学校扩大到18所学校，继续我们的合作和国家传播工作，并在协调中心的支持下加强我们的集体评估。1.在爱因斯坦和AMS之间建立一个课程开发学院。我们将在第一年通过一系列精心构建的会议在机构之间交替实现这一目标。2.制定和实施全面的四年制人口健康课程。3.根据2004年国际移民组织关于行为和社会科学教育的报告，加强两所学校现有的沟通技能和专业精神课程。4.培养行为和社会科学方面的健康相关奖学金。该目标将通过课程规划，教师支持，创新的教学方法，以及周到和严格的评估活动内，学校之间和跨实现。通过这一努力，我们将帮助培训下一代医生，使他们掌握BSS知识和技能，从而改善患者护理、重要研究和公众健康的整体改善。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project proposes to develop and enhance the medical school curriculum in the behavioral and social sciences (BSS), noted as a high priority for medical education by the Institute of Medicine. Specifically, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University (Einstein), building upon the foundation of its previous K07 grant, will partner with the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University (AMS) achieve this goal. They will also work in partnership with a consortium of US medical schools schools: 9 schools that have worked together on the K07 program over the last 5 years, expanded to 18 schools in this new R25 consortium for the next 5 years. The Einstein/AMS program will primarily focus on population health, a component of the BSS curriculum that requires attention but builds upon complementary strengths of both institutions. Through this work, we will address the following Specific Aims: CONSORTIUM SPECIFIC AIM: Expand the current behavioral and social science consortium from 9 to 18 schools, continue our collaborations and national dissemination efforts, and enhance our collective evaluation under the aegis of a coordinating center. 1. Establish a curriculum development collegium between Einstein and AMS. We will accomplish this aim during Year 1 through a series of carefully constructed meetings alternating between institutions. 2. Develop and implement a comprehensive, 4-year curriculum in population health. 3. Enhance the existing curriculum in communication skills and professionalism at both schools, consistent with the 2004 IOM report on behavioral and social science education. 4. Foster health related scholarship in the behavioral and social sciences. The Aims will be achieved through curriculum planning, faculty support, innovative teaching approaches, and thoughtful and rigorous evaluation activities within, between, and across schools. Through this effort, we will help train the next generation of physicians to have the BSS knowledge and skills that will translate into improved patient care, important research, and an overall improvement in the health of the public.
