EDUCATE 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 Medicine and Health Sciences $1.8 million in new funding to expand the medical school class size by eight students, the health sciences class size by 15 students, and the residency size by 9 residents. Beginning in the summer of 2012, the class size expansion will be focused on educating more primary care providers to deliver care in North Dakota. Coupled with enhanced efforts addressing retention of our own graduates for practice in North Dakota, this expansion of 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 careers in family medicine and increase the number of family medicine providers for rural North Dakota. Students accepted for the RuralMed Program have their entire cost of tuition waived in return for their practicing in North Dakota. Students will not have to borrow money for tuition and accrue interest for medical education. INMED The Indians into Medicine Program (INMED), which was established in 1973, is a comprehensive program designed to assist American Indian students who aspire to be health professionals to meet the needs of our Indian communities 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 week interdisciplinary experience in a rural primary care setting that is open to third-year students at the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Students live and train in nonmetropolitan communities under the supervision of physician preceptors. ROME students experience health care delivery in rural areas throughout the state of North Dakota, where providing access to health care is sometimes challenging. Students learn about problems commonly encountered in primary care, from routine health maintenance to medical emergencies and rare and unusual diagnoses. Each primary preceptor is boardcertified in family medicine, but students also work with board-certified surgeons, internists, pediatricians, and other specialists available in the community. Interprofessional Health Care Course (IPHC) The course includes eight allied health professions on campus and is run on a collaborative model that doesn’t assign a “higher” value to any one profession or specialty over any other. Almost 2,000 students have completed the course. The IPHC is modeled on the School’s acclaimed patientcentered learning small-group curriculum. The focus of the course is to learn about the role of other health care professionals and how to interact as a health care team. Eight disciplines are involved in the course: medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, music therapy, communication sciences and disorders, social work, 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- and fourth-year medical students undertake in specialty areas. In the summer of 2012 in Minot, the first cohort of medical students undertook a longitudinal, integrated third-year clerkship (LIC). Students work with preceptors in each of the specialties; for example, spending a half day every week in the office with each primary care preceptor, less frequent office time with surgery and obstetrics and gynecology preceptors, balanced by operating room and delivery room time, and regular emergency department shifts. An important feature of the new LIC is that students develop a panel of patients, whom they follow throughout the year, accompanying them to consultant visits and procedures, and following them through hospitalizations. Ample evidence from several schools shows that students in longitudinal, integrated clerkships perform as well or better on standardized tests than their traditional counterparts, and LIC students increase in their patientcenteredness through the year, while traditional students decrease in this important measure of attitude. R-COOL-Health Scrubs Camps Rural Collaborative Opportunities for Occupational Learning in Health (R-COOL-Health) Scrubs Camps are one-day learning experiences where students are able to explore health care careers from their local health care providers through hands-on, interactive activities. Since the program’s start in 2010, 1,864 students, 742 volunteers, and 143 communities have participated in the Scrubs Camp program. Students who have participated in Scrubs Camps have learned about various health care careers and participated in interactive activities, including dissecting pig hearts, typing blood samples, and participating in mock emergency scenarios.
R-COOL-Health Scrubs Academy Forty-five North Dakota junior high students participated in the second annual Scrubs Academy, held at the University of North Dakota campus, June 24–27. Students participated in a dissection, explored the inside of a 32-foot inflatable colon, and learned more about anatomy, medical laboratory science, emergency medical services, mental health, occupational therapy, physical therapy, public health, nutrition, music therapy, and radiology. As part of the academy, students received CPR training and became certified in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Most health facilities in North Dakota require that students be HIPAA-certified before allowing them to job shadow, and job shadowing is an important step in selecting a career path. Students also were given the opportunity to explore and learn more about the School 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 care workforce shortages in the state. Without an adequate workforce, access to essential health and medical services and the quality of care will suffer. With regional centers located in Hettinger and Mayville to serve the western and eastern parts of the state, North Dakota AHECs work with students in kindergarten through college, rural communities, medical professionals, and educators. The North Dakota AHEC program has provided over 8,000 contact hours to health care providers for continuing education opportunities. In addition, the AHECs have provided funding for health career fairs, career awareness activities, and various training programs, resulting in 6,000 students trained.

EDUCATE Residency Training Beyond the MD degree, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences provides residency training: a period of advanced intensive training for medical school graduates in their chosen medical specialty before independent practice as a physician. Depending on the medical specialty, medical school graduates complete anywhere from three to seven years of residency training after medical school. Residency training 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 North Dakota and the region. • St. Alexius Medical Center—a novel hospitalist training program with development of a rural hospitalist model. • UND Obstetrics and Gynecology program—to begin the planning for an Ob-Gyn training program to accept its first residents in 2013. • Essentia Health—to begin the planning for a Fargobased family medicine training program that emphasizes rural care to accept its first residents in 2014.

2012 Community Report
Jeffrey Hostetter, MD, assistant professor and director of the Center for Family Medicine–Bismarck, is pictured in front 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.
