Teaching Public and Population Health in Medical Education: An Evaluation Framework.

Curriculum models and training activities in medical education have been markedly enhanced to prepare physicians to address the health needs of diverse populations and to advance health equity. While different teaching and experiential learning activities in the public health and population health sciences have been implemented, there is no existing framework to measure the effectiveness of public and population health (PPH) education in medical education programs. In 2015, the Association of American Medical Colleges established the Expert Panel on Public and Population Health in Medical Education, which convened 20 U.

A curriculum in health systems and public health for internal medicine residents.

Background: Medical educators and accreditation organizations recognize that healthcare professionals in the future will depend on working knowledge of the larger contexts and systems of health care, including population and public health. Little published guidance on medical education in health systems and public health exists, particularly for graduate medical education.

Purpose: This study describes the evaluation of a curriculum in health systems and public health which was successfully implemented in an internal medicine residency training program.

"The mirror" and "the village": a new method for teaching practice-based learning and improvement and systems-based practice.

Purpose: Practice-based learning and improvement (PBLI) and systems-based practice (SBP) may be conceptually difficult for both residents and faculty. Methods for introducing these concepts are needed if PBLI and SBP are to be incorporated into education and practice.

Method: In 2001, PBLI and SBP were introduced at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland, using the metaphors "the mirror" and "the village.
