The Impact
Case study: Graduate medical education consulting
A community hospital expressed interest in establishing an internal medicine residency program as a strategy to address the looming physician workforce shortage in their region.
Challenge: They lacked experience with graduate medical education (GME) and navigating the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) landscape.
Solution: Education Services provided GME consulting to achieve ACGME accreditation and successfully launch an internal medicine program at the facility.
Impact: The community hospital graduated their first class of internal medicine residents in 2020. They were able to hire 25% of the first graduating class.
Case study: Simulation center consulting
An academic institution built a beautiful simulation center outfitted with technology and equipment necessary to facilitate outstanding medical simulation education.
Challenge: The organization wasn't sure how to utilize or staff their center and positively impact medical education and patient safety in their adjacent hospital.
Solution: Education Services conducted focus groups with all stakeholders, and introduced clinicians in the hospital quality and safety departments to faculty in the university. Upon completion, we provided a SWOT analysis and made recommendations for staffing and organization of their center including the funding model.
Impact: The consultancy helped develop scenarios for medical education and ultimately improved the quality and safety of patient care.
