<\/b><\/p>\n

The University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine<\/p>\n

is one of only eight medical schools in the country selected to<\/p>\n

receive a contract for developing undergraduate medical education<\/p>\n

for the 21st century. The contract, funded by the Health<\/p>\n

Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), gives the College<\/p>\n

of Medicine $125,000 each year for three years in order to<\/p>\n

enhance its current curriculum for third and fourth year medical<\/p>\n

students. <\/p>\n

UNMC based its application on a proposed program called<\/p>\n

Education for Managed Care Competencies (E=MC2<\/sup>), which<\/p>\n

detailed several new curriculum innovations designed to provide<\/p>\n

students with additional clinical experiences. Jeffrey Susman,<\/p>\n

M.D., professor of family medicine and associate dean of the UNMC<\/p>\n

College of Medicine, is the principal investigator on the grant,<\/p>\n

which includes a series of workshops, individual projects and<\/p>\n

practicums.<\/p>\n

Teams of approximately four students will work under the<\/p>\n

direction of a faculty mentor to complete the individual project<\/p>\n

portion of the program, Dr. Susman said. Topics for the projects<\/p>\n

are chosen by the students which allows them to choose a subject<\/p>\n

of genuine interest. For example, one possible topic might be an<\/p>\n

evaluation of the differences between older and newer treatments<\/p>\n

of depression. A possible workshop will look at how managed care<\/p>\n

has impacted the length of patient hospital stays. Clinical work<\/p>\n

will primarily be done in clinics serving underserved populations<\/p>\n

such as the sharing clinic run by UNMC students at 31st and Q<\/p>\n

streets, Dr. Susman said.<\/p>\n

Implementation for the two-year program will begin with the<\/p>\n

third-year medical students at the start of the 1998-1999<\/p>\n

academic year. E=MC2<\/sup> involves clerkships in family<\/p>\n

medicine, internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, obstetrics and<\/p>\n

gynecology and pediatrics. Dr. Susman said that approximately 70<\/p>\n

medical schools applied for the contract. Other medical schools<\/p>\n

receiving funding are Dartmouth, the University of Miami, the<\/p>\n

University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, the<\/p>\n

University of California at San Francisco, Wayne State University<\/p>\n

and the University of Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

"This speaks well for our medical school. A lot of hard<\/p>\n

work involving a number of people went into the application.<\/p>\n

It’s nice to reap the fruits of our labor," Dr. Susman<\/p>\n

said.<\/p>\n

Harold M. Maurer, M.D., dean of UNMC College of Medicine said,<\/p>\n

"I think this is great. It shows how innovative our<\/p>\n

curriculum is and how strong our faculty is. It definitely shows<\/p>\n

that we’re in the big leagues."<\/p>\n

UNMC is the only public academic health science center in the<\/p>\n

state. Through its commitment to research, education and patient<\/p>\n

care, UNMC has established itself as one of the country’s leading<\/p>\n

centers for cancer research and treatment and solid organ<\/p>\n

transplantation. More than $25 million in research grants and<\/p>\n

contracts are awarded to UNMC scientists annually. In addition,<\/p>\n

UNMC’s educational programs are responsible for training more<\/p>\n

health professionals practicing in Nebraska than any other<\/p>\n

institution. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
