3 A Short History of Osteopathic Medicine

4 What is Osteopathic Medicine? - American profession - Grew from a need and a question - Brought a new way of thinking and a new tool to modern Western medical practice - Built on the following premises: - Unity - Structure and function are related - Homeostasis - Rational care related to first three

5 Comparisons To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease. He should make the grand round among the sentinels and ascertain if they are asleep, dead or have deserted their posts, and have allowed the enemy togetintotheircamps their camps AT Still, MD, DO, Philosophy of Osteopathy, 1899.

18 The PCSOM Model

19 WCUCOM MISSION STATEMENT The Mission of William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine is to prepare men and women to become osteopathic physicians through an emphasis on primary care, lifelong l learning and scholarly activity. By using a community based training model, it will produce graduates who are committed to serving the health care needs of the medically under-served and diverse populations p of the state, region, and mission field.

20 Hub Sites Students move to their respective hub sites Remain in the area for two years Integrate into the community Work, Schools, Churches, Little League, Scouts, etc Perhaps from the area originally Enculturated to local medical community

21 Hub Sites Qualifying Criteria Community Based Curriculum Hub Site Criteria: Support all required rotations 2-Family Practice 2-General Surgery 2-Pediatrics 2-General Internal Medicine 2-ER 1-Women shealth 1-Community Behavioral Medicine* 4- Medical Surgical Selectives 4- electives Taught By Practicing Clinicians Inpatient & outpatient experience W/in 60 minutes of a central location Preceptors must be: Licensed Certified Malpractice Hospital Privileges

23 Training Models

24 Clinical Training Community Based Model -Initially for professional survival - Now - Meets mission - Personal attention ti - More economical - Excellent training i

25 University Model Johns Hopkins Model Flexner Report 1910 Prior to 1910 Apprentice Model University Medical School University Hospital VA Hospital Women s & Children s Hospital Cancer Hospital Community Hospital

26 University Model Large Medical Complexes State and Private Faculty Large Research Dollars Great Doctors Teaching Echelons Attending Fellows 4 th year+ resident 3 rd year resident 2 nd year resident 1 st year resident (intern) 4 th year medical student 3 rd year medical student

27 Community-Based Model Medical School Community Hospital Community Hospital Community Hospital Community Hospital Community Clinics

28 Community-Based Model Various Sizes of Medical Campus Private and contracted medical staff + / - Research dollars Great Doctors One-on-One teaching May have teaching echelons

29 Myth Buster Myth: You have to train at the large university center because of the volume and the you need to see it all and do it all. Truth(s): No doctor ever sees it all and does it all. Most medicine is practiced in the community hospitals Greater opportunities to see undifferentiated patients Greater likelihood of having trainees remain in area Easier for community-trained trained physician to function in larger hospital than vice versa

30 Myth Buster Myths: I don t have time to teach. Show me a BMS who only triples my work and I will kiss his feet. It s the university's responsibility to teach. Truths: The One-Minute Preceptor Medical students do not need to see every patient Efficient use of medical students If not us, then who? If not now, then when?

31 Post-doctoral Training All fields of study open ACGME training AOA training Dually approved training

32 Clinical Training Community Based Model -Initially for professional survival - Now - Meets mission - Personal attention ti - More economical - Excellent training i

33 Philosophical Re-orientation Therefore, at UK, we plan on changing g culture creating one that is patient centered and not illness based. I am proud to say that beginning this fall our medical students will begin to experience this new culture as we launch the first in a series of new medical courses designed to enhance our curriculum to develop more well-rounded, caring physicians for our future. As outlined on pages 4 and 5, a new course focused on the continuity of care is targeted to teach our students the importance of becoming a compassionate medical caregiver to their patients. Most importantly, explaining that they are not treating an illness they are treating a patient.

34 A Precepting Tool

35 Goals and Objectives Goal To enhance efficacy and efficiency in clinical teaching Understand the community-based training model Adopt the mindset of a teacher Objective To provide teachers with an effective and elegant teaching tool

36 Background Clinical teaching: settings of busy clinical outpatient and inpatient practices. Teachers desire succinct and cogent presentations from learners. Learners desire clear and effective instruction from the teacher.

37 The Problem How to achieve the teacher s and learner s desires in an efficient manner. A Solution Utilize the principles outlined in The One- minute Preceptor 1

38 The One-Minute Preceptor - Overview First introduced by Neher, Gordon, Meyer and Stevens in 1992 Five step process Get a commitment Probe for supporting evidence Teach general rules Reinforce what was done right Correct mistakes

39 Get a commitment. After the presentation make the learner commit to a decision (in a non Example: What do you think is going on? What would you like to do? (in a non-threatening way) Try to get the learner to make commitments just out of their comfort zones

40 Probe for supporting evidence. These questions probe fund of knowledge and allow the teacher to assist the learner in connecting the dots. Examples: What led you to your decision or diagnosis? What else did you consider?

41 Teach general rules. Teach one or two points from the patient at hand and then extrapolate to other patients. Do not try to teach everything off on one case. Learners vary: Learners with less clinical knowledge need to be addressed differently from those with more. Be alert to the maturity of the learner

42 Reinforce correct thinking and action Strategies: Ask learners what they did right. Ask what they did wrong. Ask at the beginning of the rotation how they would prefer to receive feed back.

43 Correct mistakes. Feedback needs to be: Timely Case specific Expected Bh Behavior focused Descriptive rather than evaluative language
