Catalog description

Institutional Patient Support - Physicians have an obligation to advocate at the level of the institution, which may include their clinic, hospital system, or other entity that provides or facilitates health care. This course will introduce students to some of the strategies they can use to advocate for and with health care institutions. These strategies include how to use the power and influence of a physician to make local institutional change, conduct quality improvement projects, and use the resources available to institutions to remove patient and population barriers to better health.
