描述(由申请人提供)：我们建议在阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院开发一门全面的、创新的、垂直整合的课程，内容是作为医学实践基础的行为和社会科学。这一教育计划的总体目标是培养具有医患沟通、专业精神和伦理、心身医学、行为医学、健康中的社会和文化问题、健康经济和政策方面的知识、态度和技能的医生，这些知识、态度和技能是治疗艺术的杰出实践者。次要目标包括加强行为和社会科学研究，在我们附属的住院医师计划中改善这些学科的教学，发展师资，以及传播课程材料和最佳实践。为了实现这些目标，我们已经确定了一位经验丰富、成就卓著和尽职尽责的教育工作者担任首席调查员，并组建了一支由教员专家组成的专门团队，担任领导、教师、评估者和顾问。这些教师来自许多不同的系和附属机构，包括我们的心理学和社会工作研究生院。成立了一个由国际知名专家组成的外部咨询委员会，以提供监督和指导。执行委员会将对这一课程进行日常监督，该课程将贯穿本科医学教育计划的所有4年。大部分学习将在现有课程中进行：加强当前的活动、更改现有课程以包含此内容，以及创建新课程。此外，一项全新的10小时“办事员准备”课程已在2年级末推出，在该计划的第一年，一项新的60小时纵向“办事员间课程”将在3年级期间推出。教职员工的奉献精神、院长的支持和新课程时间的设立表明了学校对这一教育计划的承诺，以及学校提供的广泛财政支持：学校在过去一年里开始努力开发这门课程，并承诺在资助期结束时继续开展这项课程。凭借其悠久的社会医学历史和对布朗克斯缺乏服务的人群的关怀，其教职员工的奉献精神和专业知识，以及其领导人的承诺，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院处于独特的地位，能够有效地实现这一教育计划的目标。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop a comprehensive, innovative, vertically-integrated curriculum at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the behavioral and social sciences fundamental to the practice of medicine. The overall goal of this educational program is to graduate physicians with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills in doctor-patient communication, professionalism and ethics, mind-body medicine, behavioral medicine, social and cultural issues in health, and health economics and policy required to be outstanding practitioners of the healers' art. Secondary goals include the enhancement of behavioral and social science research, improvement of teaching in these disciplines in our affiliated residency programs, faculty development, and dissemination of curriculum materials and best practices. To accomplish these goals, we have identified an experienced, accomplished, and committed educator to serve as Principal Investigator, and have assembled a dedicated team of faculty experts to serve as leaders, teachers, evaluators, and advisors. These faculty come from many different departments and affiliates, including our graduate schools of psychology and social work. An external Advisory Committee of internationally known experts has been created to provide oversight and guidance. An Executive Committee will provide day to day oversight of this curriculum, which will run across all 4 years of the undergraduate medical education program. Much of this learning will occur within existing courses: enhancing current activities, changing existing sessions to include this content, and creating new sessions. In addition, an entirely new 10-hour "Preparation for the Clerkships" curriculum has been introduced at the end of Year 2, and a new 60-hour, longitudinal "inter-clerkship curriculum" will be introduced throughout Year 3 during the first year of this program. The dedication of the faculty, the support of the Dean, and the creation of new curriculum time speak to the School's commitment to this educational program, as does the extensive financial support the School has provided: the School has begun efforts to develop this curriculum over the past year, and is committed to its continuation at the conclusion of the funding period. With its long history of social medicine and the care of the underserved population of the Bronx, the dedication and expertise of its faculty, and the commitment of its leaders, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is uniquely positioned to effectively achieve the goals of this educational program.
