INJURY AND VIOLENCE PREVENTION

SURGERY 973

An in-depth understanding of the key concepts of value, quality and safety is critical to the education of future physicians. The majority of adverse events experienced by hospitalized patients occur in surgery. Surgery offers the ideal setting to explore these three components critical to improving the US healthcare system. Examine factors that influence the care we provide and critically consider the value of this care. Observe efforts to improve value in surgery focusing on quality, safety and appropriate utilization of critical resources and consider areas for improvement. Follow patients in all processes of care from clinic, to the operating room, through their postoperative course, to discharge, and consider how important measures to secure safety and quality are encountered and impact care in the clinical arena. Consider price and allocation of scarce resources. Gather information for their analysis of the patient experience.

KINES 651

Addresses the intersection of athletic training and public health by exploring population-based approaches to injury prevention and challenges students to explore how population-level problems impact individual health. Introduces and explores specific policies (e.g. concussion, athletic pre-participation, catastrophic injury) that impact the provision of effective patient-centered care and introduces skills required for management of these conditions.

PHYASST 670

An introduction to the role of the physician assistant in surgery, fundamental principles of pre-, intra- and post-operative surgical care, operating room aseptic technique, and common strategies to avoid and to treat surgical complications.

FAMMED 913

Overview of population health interventions to promote firearm injury prevention. Gain an understanding of the epidemiology of firearm injury and death in the US. Recognize the role of clinicians in catalyzing firearm injury prevention. Establish relationships with community partners working on firearm injury prevention. Develop model interventions in collaboration with a community partner to reduce firearm injury in the community. Clinical and community interventions discussed.

SURGERY 982

Learn effective methods of teaching procedural skills and of small group case-based learning (CBL) facilitation. Demonstrate effective teaching strategies when instructing more junior medical students in in-person procedural skills (e.g., suturing, knot-tying, ultrasound/doppler, intubation) and facilitating virtual CBL learning. Bolster mastery in surgical and procedural education.
