Changing the Culture of a Medical School by Orienting Students and Faculty Toward Community Medicine

et al. 2014

Oklahoma's health status has been ranked among the worst in the country. In 1972, the University of Oklahoma established the Tulsa branch of its College of Medicine (COM) to expand the physician workforce for northeastern Oklahoma and to provide care for the uninsured patients of the area. In 2008, the Tulsa branch launched a distinct educational track, the University of Oklahoma COM's School of Community Medicine (SCM), to prepare providers equipped and committed to addressing prevalent health disparities.The authors describe the Tulsa branch's Summer Institute (SI), a signature program of the SCM, and how it is part of SCM's process of institutional transformation to align its education, service, and research missions toward improving the health status of the entire region. The SI is a weeklong, prematriculation immersion experience in community medicine. It brings entering medical and physician assistant students together with students and faculty from other disciplines to develop a shared culture of community medicine. The SI uses an unconventional curriculum, based on Scharmer's Theory U, which emphasizes appreciative inquiry, critical thinking, and collaborative problem solving. Also, the curriculum includes Professional Meaning conversations, small-group sessions to facilitate the integration of students' observations into their professional identities and commitments. Development of prototypes of a better health care system enables participants to learn by doing and to bring community medicine to life.The authors describe these and other curricular elements of the SI, present early evaluation data, and discuss the curriculum's incremental evolution. A longitudinal outcomes evaluation is under way.

The likelihood of prevention providers and consumers adopting and implementing evidence-based HIV prevention interventions depends on the strategies employed in translating, packaging, and disseminating the findings from research to practice. Lessons from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Replicating Effective Programs project have shown that to smoothly transfer HIV prevention technology from research to practice, researchers need to prepare for possible transfer during research trials. Preparation should include documenting details of the intervention beyond what is published in journals, including important details regarding what the intervention was about, how preparations for it were made, and how it was delivered. Researchers should also ensure that all relevant stakeholders are integrally involved in all aspects of the research and technology transfer process. Such collaborations encourage exchange of ideas and can make certain that interventions are designed to be relevant and acceptable to community agencies and feasible for them to implement.
