For Medical Students
Medical schools shift focus to team-based care
As the nation's health care system concentrates more on team-based care and the medical home model, medical schools are working to provide their students with the skills needed to use these approaches.
A story by American Medical News features the interprofessional training offered at several schools, including the Medical University of South Carolina, Quillen College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University and Loyola University Chicago. Interprofessional training also is offered or being developed at the University of California San Diego, Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and the University of Kentucky, American Medical News reports.
The story also tackles the national focus on interprofessional training through the Interprofessional Education Collaborative, which aims to better integrate and coordinate the education of nurses, physicians, dentists, pharmacists and other health professionals to provide more collaborative care.
