How a Team Effectiveness Approach to Health Systems Science Can Illuminate Undergraduate Medical Education Outcomes
Open AccessJung G Kim, Jed D Gonzalo et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2024
Health care delivery requires physicians to operate in teams to successfully navigate complexity in caring for patients and communities. The importance of training physicians early in core concepts of working in teams (i.e., “teaming”) has long been established. Over the past decade, however, little evidence of team effectiveness training for medical students has been available. The recent introduction of health systems science as a third pillar …

Breaking Down Silos Between Medical Education and Health Systems
Open AccessJames B Reilly, Jung G Kim et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2024
The complexity of improving health in the United States and the rising call for outcomes-based physician training present unique challenges and opportunities for both graduate medical education (GME) and health systems. GME programs have been particularly challenged to implement systems-based practice (SBP) as a core physician competency and educational outcome. Disparate definitions and educational approaches to SBP, as well as limited understan…

Non-physician and physician preceptors in Landscapes of Practice
Open AccessJed D Gonzalo, Deanna Graaf et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2023
Medical education has traditionally relied on physician educators. With expanding Health Systems Science competencies, non-physician healthcare providers are required. To investigate preceptor-role types, communication frequency, and importance of preceptors in value-added patient navigator roles (PN) and clinical preceptorships (CP). Using a mixed-methods approach, medical students participating in PN and CP during the first year of medical scho…
The Effect of Bedside Rounds on Learning Outcomes in Medical Education
Open AccessJohn T Ratelle, Caitlyn N Gallagher et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022
PURPOSE: To determine if bedside rounds, compared with other forms of hospital ward rounds, improve learning outcomes in medical education. METHOD: For this systematic review, the authors searched Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus from inception through February 20, 2020. Experimental studies were included if they (1) compared bedside rounds to any other form of rounds in a hospital-based setting, and (2) reported a quantitative comparison of a le…
Demonstrating Health Systems Science Across Residency Learning Environments
Heather Ridinger, Heather A Ridinger et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022
Purpose: The American Medical Association’s Accelerating Change in Medical Education consortium defined health systems science (HSS) as the study of how health care is delivered, how health care professionals work together to deliver that care, and how the health system can improve patient care and health care delivery. 1 This framework is increasingly being adopted into undergraduate medical education (UME) to prepare graduates for success as th…
“Finding My Piece in That Puzzle”
Andrea N Leep-Hunderfund, Andrea N Leep Hunderfund et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022
PURPOSE: Health systems science (HSS) curricula equip future physicians to improve patient, population, and health systems outcomes (i.e., to become "systems citizens"), but the degree to which medical students internalize this conception of the physician role remains unclear. This study aimed to explore how students envision their future professional identity in relation to the system and identify experiences relevant to this aspect of identity …
Evolving the Systems-Based Practice Competency in Graduate Medical Education to Meet Patient Needs in the 21st-Century Health Care System
Jed D Gonzalo, Daniel R Wolpaw et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2022
Medical education is increasingly recognizing the importance of the systems-based practice (SBP) competency in the emerging 21st-century U.S. health care landscape. In the wake of data documenting insufficiencies in care delivery, notably in patient safety and health care disparities, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education created the SBP competency to address gaps in health outcomes and facilitate the education of trainees to b…
Health systems science education
Open AccessJeffrey Borkan, Jed D Gonzalo et al.ARTICLEMedical Teacher2021
The foundations of medical education have drawn from the Flexner Report to prepare students for practice for over a century. These recommendations relied, however, upon a limited set of competencies and a relatively narrow view of the physician's role. There have been increasing calls and recommendations to expand those competencies and the professional identity of the physician to better meet the current and future needs of patients, health syst…
Health Systems Science in Medical Education
Jed D Gonzalo, Anna Chang et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2020
Medical education exists in the service of patients and communities and must continually calibrate its focus to ensure the achievement of these goals. To close gaps in U.S. health outcomes, medical education is steadily evolving to better prepare providers with the knowledge and skills to lead patient- and systems-level improvements. Systems-related competencies, including high-value care, quality improvement, population health, informatics, and …

Contributions of Health Professions Students to Health System Needs During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Nathaniel Long, Daniel R Wolpaw et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2020
The COVID-19 pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge to U.S. health systems, particularly academic health centers (AHCs) that lead in providing advanced clinical care and medical education. No phase of AHC efforts is untouched by the crisis, and medical schools, prioritizing learner welfare, are in the throes of adjusting to suspended clinical activities and virtual classrooms. While health professions students are currently limited in their co…
How Medical Schools Can Promote Community Collaboration Through Health Systems Science Education

A Developmental Approach to Internal Medicine Residency Education
Open AccessJed D Gonzalo, Daniel R Wolpaw et al.ARTICLEMedical Education Online2019
Lessons learned included challenges in coordination of observations, identifying disorienting dilemmas, and creating a shared mental model between residents, faculty, and program leadership. The coaching program resulted in professional learning plans aligned with IM EPAs, in addition to other professional development topics. Operationalization of aspects of these results can inform the development of similar programs in residency education
Eliciting local voices using natural group interviews
Susan Beckerleg, Susan E Beckerleg et al.ARTICLEAnthropology and Medicine1997Cited by: 4References: 15
As part of a 5 year intervention study to improve maternal and child health care, natural group interviews were carried out amongst a minority group of Israeli citizens, Palestinian Arabs of Bedouin origin living in the Negev. This paper argues that the use of individual questionnaires, in this setting, is inappropriate in that it would ignore the views of other household members, likely to be crucial to the parents’ decisions about health care u…
