researchers, including two second-year medical students and two faculty from the Department of Social Medicine, presented a study that looked at what U.S. children's hospitals are doing to develop community-engaged health interventions. The study, involving in-depth interviews with leadership from some of the nation's larger children's hospitals, was conducted by Chantelle Shaw and Matt Taylor, both second-year students at the Heritage College, Dublin, and assistant professors Dan Skinner, Ph.D., (Heritage College, Dublin) and Berkeley Franz, Ph.D. (Heritage College, Athens). The research was done in cooperation with colleagues from Nationwide Children's Hospital and the Children's Hospital Association. The study was carried out with support from Heritage College, Dublin, Dean Bill Burke, D.O., ('88) as part of the first Heritage College, Dublin-Nationwide Children's Hospital summer research program. It was presented at a conference on "Advancing the Science of Community Engaged Research," sponsored by Meharry Medical College and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

Our students' tolerance for ambiguity: Some findings
Tolerance for ambiguity (TFA) is recognized as an important competency for physicians, as low TFA in a doctor can lead to increased test ordering and a failure to comply with evidence-based guidelines. The Association of American Medical Colleges has been measuring TFA in second-year medical students since 2013, and this year, the Heritage College Office of Institutional Assessment and Accreditation began measuring TFA in first- and second-year students. See some results here (requires an Ohio University login), and watch for more findings from OIAA in future issues of ROUNDS.

EMR teaching tool demonstrated
Last month, Heritage College faculty, students and staff learned about a new teaching tool that uses a real-patient database
|
| |
Blaine Takesue, M.D., talks about the Regenstrief tEMR
|
to give students experience with using an EMR, teach clinical and diagnostic skills, and assess student progress.
Blaine Takesue, M.D., director of EMR development at the Indianapolis-based Regenstrief Institute, explained that the "teaching EMR" (tEMR) is based on thousands of actual medical records collected from a pool of more than 20 million real patients. Once scrubbed of identifying information to protect patient privacy, the records can be used to teach medical students, as well as those studying to become other types of health care providers, from real-life cases. They can provide individual case scenarios, or the database can be analyzed to track population medicine trends, he said.
As students work through cases taken from the tEMR, he added, the choices they make provide an effective way of evaluating their understanding of course material. The system can even be programmed to send an "alert" when a student makes a poor choice. Schools that use the Regenstrief tEMR as a teaching tool can customize its content to fit their curricula.
This demonstration was a part of the college's ongoing effort to transform its primary care curricula. When the Osteopathic Heritage Foundation awarded the college an historic $105 million gift in 2011, this curriculum transformation was one specified purpose for the money. In pursuit of this goal, the Heritage College assembled the Curriculum Transformation Team, which has been meeting since August 2014. The new curriculum is expected to be implemented in fall 2018.
