This meeting is supported under a cooperative
agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the
Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), grant number 5U36CD319276. Overview:As
part of AAMC and CDC's interest in building bridges between medicine and public
health, Regional Medicine-Public Health Education Centers (RMPHECs) were established
to improve the teaching of population health to medical students. In 2003, seven
medical schools became pilot sites through a competitive process. Applicants were
required to partner with at least one state or local public health agency to enhance
population health/public health education for all of their medical students. In
early 2006, AAMC and CDC embarked on a second phase of the RMPHEC project. A Call
for Proposals was developed that requested applicants to "fully integrate population
health into the medical school curriculum". As in the pilot, medical schools were
required to collaborate with public health practitioners at state or local public
health agencies. By May 2006, 11 schools were chosen from a field of 47 applicants.
This meeting is gathering of the RMPHEC schools and invited leaders in
medical education and public health practice. The meeting objectives are
to: - Facilitate networking among the RMPHEC grantees.
- Discuss
evaluation approaches at the student, school, and initiative levels.
-
Learn how to more successfully engage public health partners
- Plan and
discuss future activities of the RMPHEC initiative
- Work together on OSCEs
that incorporate and feature population health content.
