Seminar presentation (55 PowerPoint Slides)
The development of programmatic tracks providing students with academic opportunities outside of the traditional medical curriculum represents a national trend in medical education.  With HRSA Interdisciplinary and Interprofessional Joint Graduate Degree five-year funding, the Department of Family and Community Medicine at ThomasJeffersonUniversitycreated an Inter-professional Primary Care Dual Degree Program (IPCDDP), which builds on JeffersonMedicalCollege’s College within a College (CwiC) Scholarly Concentrations Program in Population Health.  The mission of the IPCDDP is to provide outstanding training in primary care and innovative education in chronic care management and population and public health in order to prepare primary care leaders to serve as future change agents working to improve the health of Americans, especially its most vulnerable and underserved populations.
