Description:

Due to the COVID pandemic, WMED is building its capacity to offer electives that will enhance the clinical care of patients while being delivered in an on-line or virtual format.

This 1 week elective will allow students to complete all 12 cases in the Aquifer High Value Care series, in addition to exposure to key articles and documents in the Choosing Wisely Campaign. This elective addresses the "overuse of health care resources by providing strategies for physicians to build trust and address patient attitudes and beliefs that more care is not always better care." Curriculum focuses on evidence driven recommendations surrounding screening, diagnostic studies, preventive care, the patient centered medical home model, medication management.
