Community Health, Advocacy, And Managing Populations (Champ) Longitudinal Residency Education And Evaluation, Kjersti E. Knox, Will Lehmann, Joseph Vogelgesang, Deborah Simpson

Will Lehmann, MD

Purpose: Longitudinal education initiatives designed to prepare residents to address health disparities and social determinants of health (SDH) are needed. This report addresses this gap by describing a family medicine residency’s Community Health, Advocacy, and Managing Populations (CHAMP) curriculum and its evaluation by learners, faculty, and community partners. The CHAMP longitudinal curriculum is explicitly designed to prepare residents to address health disparities and SDH. We report early outcomes, including community partner feedback, of this innovative curriculum.

Methods: Data were obtained through standardized rotation evaluations, thematic analysis of structured group and individual interviews, and aggregated competency milestone data. Kirkpatrick’s four-level model …

Identifying And Targeting Age-Related Colorectal Cancer Screening Rate Disparities In Family Medicine Residency Clinics, Jonathan J. Blaza, Jasmine R. Wiley, Matthew Gill, Alonzo Jalan, Will Lehmann, Deborah Simpson, Jeffrey A. Stearns

Will Lehmann, MD

Background: Health care systems continuously seek to improve patient care through population-level analysis of clinical quality metrics and patient characteristics to identify disparities in care. Nationally, disparities in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates have been identified with lower screening rates reported for patients who are uninsured and/or lower socioeconomic status, African American/black, Asian, and non-English-speaking Hispanic patients. No age-related CRC screening rate disparities with associated interventions have been reported.

Purpose: Determine and address CRC screening disparities in care provided to eligible patients > 50 years old in two primary care residency clinics.

Methods: Retrospective analysis using REAL-G (race, ethnicity, age, preferred …

Sp39: Development Of Geriatric Skill Sets To Enhance Learning In An Innovative Geriatric Longitudinal Experience Setting, Will Lehmann, Susan Saffel-Shrier, Karen M. Gunning, Timothy W. Farrell, Nadia Miniclier

In the fall of 2007, the University of Utah Family Medicine Residency Program received an RRC variance in the continuity of care longitudinal geriatric experience which allowed the program to move from a long-term care/nursing home facility to an assisted living experience. Results of this 2 year project showed a significant increase in satisfaction for both faculty and learners, but competency evaluations did not meet expected goals. Based on these findings, the 19-point direct observation competency form was divided into smaller skill sets that would be more time-efficient to apply and teach. The finished product is a series of Geriatric …
