Growing Our Own

Innovative Programs to Produce Health Care Providers for North Dakota

GOOD

To Grow Our Own Doctors and other health professionals,the 2011 Legislature provided to the School of Medicineand Health Sciences $1.8 million in new funding to expandthe medical school class size by eight students, the healthsciences class size by 15 students, and the residency sizeby 9 residents. Beginning in the summer of 2012, theclass size expansion will be focused on educating moreprimary care providers to deliver care in North Dakota.Coupled with enhanced efforts addressing retention of ourown graduates for practice in North Dakota, this expansionof the class size will help to address the current and especially the anticipated looming shortage of providers.

RuralMed

RuralMed is a tuition waiver program (or scholarship) designed to encourage medical students to select careersin family medicine and increase the number of familymedicine providers for rural North Dakota. Students accepted for the RuralMed Program have their entire costof tuition waived in return for their practicing in NorthDakota. Students will not have to borrow money for tuitionand accrue interest for medical education.

INMED

The Indians into Medicine Program (INMED), which wasestablished in 1973, is a comprehensive program designedto assist American Indian students who aspire to behealth professionals to meet the needs of our Indiancommunities and to serve reservation populations.INMED has assisted approximately 20 percent of U.S.American Indian physicians with their education.

ROME

Rural Opportunities in Medicine (ROME) is a 24–28 weekinterdisciplinary experience in a rural primary care settingthat is open to third-year students at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students live and train innonmetropolitan communities under the supervision ofphysician preceptors. ROME students experience healthcare delivery in rural areas throughout the state of NorthDakota, where providing access to health care is sometimeschallenging. Students learn about problems commonlyencountered in primary care, from routine health maintenance to medical emergencies and rare and unusual diagnoses. Each primary preceptor is board-certified in family medicine, but students also work withboard-certified surgeons, internists, pediatricians, andother specialists available in the community.

Interprofessional Health Care Course (IPHC)

The course includes eight allied health professions oncampus and is run on a collaborative model that doesn’tassign a “higher” value to any one profession or specialtyover any other. Almost 2,000 students have completedthe course.

The IPHC is modeled on the School’s acclaimed patient-centered learning small-group curriculum. The focus ofthe course is to learn about the role of other health careprofessionals and how to interact as a health care team.Eight disciplines are involved in the course: medicine,nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, musictherapy, communication sciences and disorders, socialwork, and nutrition and dietetics.

The goal of IPHC education is collaborative practice.Students learn every person on a team is a patient advocate,which significantly reduces errors in the health care system and that leads to improved cost efficiency, an appropriately important issue for the twenty-first century.

Minot Longitudinal, Integrated Clerkship

A clerkship is a course of clinical training that third- andfourth-year medical students undertake in specialty areas.In the summer of 2012 in Minot, the first cohort of medicalstudents undertook a longitudinal, integrated third-yearclerkship (LIC).

Students work with preceptors in each of the specialties;for example, spending a half day every week in the officewith each primary care preceptor, less frequent office timewith surgery and obstetrics and gynecology preceptors,balanced by operating room and delivery room time, andregular emergency department shifts. An important featureof the new LIC is that students develop a panel of patients,whom they follow throughout the year, accompanyingthem to consultant visits and procedures, and followingthem through hospitalizations.

Ample evidence from several schools shows that studentsin longitudinal, integrated clerkships perform as well orbetter on standardized tests than their traditional counterparts, and LIC students increase in their patient-centeredness through the year, while traditional studentsdecrease in this important measure of attitude.

R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camps

Rural Collaborative Opportunities for Occupational Learningin Health (R-COOL-Health) Scrubs Camps are one-daylearning experiences where students are able to explorehealth care careers from their local health care providersthrough hands-on, interactive activities. Since the program’sstart in 2010, 1,864 students, 742 volunteers, and 143communities have participated in the Scrubs Camp program.Students who have participated in Scrubs Camps havelearned about various health care careers and participated in interactive activities, including dissectingpig hearts, typing blood samples, and participating inmock emergency scenarios.

R-COOL-Health Scrubs Academy

Forty-five North Dakota junior high students participatedin the second annual Scrubs Academy, held at the Universityof North Dakota campus, June 24–27. Students participatedin a dissection, explored the inside of a 32-foot inflatablecolon, and learned more about anatomy, medical laboratoryscience, emergency medical services, mental health,occupational therapy, physical therapy, public health,nutrition, music therapy, and radiology. As part of theacademy, students received CPR training and becamecertified in the Health Insurance Portability and Account-ability Act (HIPAA). Most health facilities in North Dakotarequire that students be HIPAA-certified before allowingthem to job shadow, and job shadowing is an importantstep in selecting a career path. Students also were giventhe opportunity to explore and learn more about theSchool of Medicine and Health Sciences, the UND campus,and the Grand Forks community.

North Dakota Area Health Education Center (AHEC)

The North Dakota AHEC addresses critical health careworkforce shortages in the state. Without an adequateworkforce, access to essential health and medical servicesand the quality of care will suffer. With regional centerslocated in Hettinger and Mayville to serve the westernand eastern parts of the state, North Dakota AHECs workwith students in kindergarten through college, rural communities, medical professionals, and educators. TheNorth Dakota AHEC program has provided over 8,000contact hours to health care providers for continuing education opportunities. In addition, the AHECs haveprovided funding for health career fairs, career awarenessactivities, and various training programs, resulting in6,000 students trained.

Completion rates* measure the full-time, first-time students who enrolled in a professional

degree program and completed their degree within the maximum time, which varies

based on the program. For medical doctorate students at the School, the maximum

time allowed to complete a four-year degree is six years. The national completion rate

for medical students who graduate within seven years is 94 percent.

Our goal is to exceed the national benchmark for completion.

* Number Graduated/Number Admitted = Completion Rate

Residency Training

Beyond the MD degree, the School of Medicine and HealthSciences provides residency training: a period of advancedintensive training for medical school graduates in theirchosen medical specialty before independent practice asa physician. Depending on the medical specialty, medicalschool graduates complete anywhere from three to sevenyears of residency training after medical school. Residencytraining through the School is provided in five specialties.

• Family Medicine (Bismarck, Minot)• Internal Medicine (Fargo)• Surgery (Fargo, Grand Forks)• Psychiatry (Fargo)• Transitional (Fargo)—a yearlong

program designed to introduce graduates to a wide range of medical and surgical specialties. The goal is to build a broad foundation of clinical skills as a base for future training in a medical specialty.

(An additional program in Family Medicine is provided through Altru Health System in Grand Forks.)

The School is or will provide funding to support the following new residency programs: • Altru Health System Family Medicine Program—a rural

track as part of the family medicine program.• UND Family Medicine programs at Bismarck and

Minot—a rural track at each of the campuses.• UND Surgery program—a rural track designed to train

general surgeons for practice in rural areas of NorthDakota and the region.

• St. Alexius Medical Center—a novel hospitalist trainingprogram with development of a rural hospitalist model.

• UND Obstetrics and Gynecology program—to beginthe planning for an Ob-Gyn training program to acceptits first residents in 2013.

• Essentia Health—to begin the planning for a Fargo-based family medicine training program that emphasizes rural care to accept its first residents in 2014.

Jeffrey Hostetter, MD, assistant professor and director ofthe Center for Family Medicine–Bismarck, is pictured infront of the new home for the School’s Southwest Campus. The North Dakota Legislature provided funding for the four-story facility, which is a cooperative effort between Sanford Bismarck Medical Center (formerly Medcenter One), St. Alexius Medical Center, and UND. Open to the public, the Center is adjacent to both hospitals, making it ideal for faculty, staff, residents (medical school graduates), medical students, and, most importantly—patients.
