Health Systems Science has evolved as the third pillar of medical education, integrated with the two historic pillars — basic and clinical sciences. Join colleagues from across campus for the spring webinar series of IAMSE (International Association of Medical Science Educators) to investigate this new aspect of medical education. Participants are invited to bring their own lunches, gather to listen to the webinar, and finish the hour with discussion. Hosts are Kurt Gilliland (kogillil@med.unc.edu), Associate Dean for Curriculum, and Gary Beck Dallaghan (gary_beck_dallaghan@med.unc.edu), Director of Educational Scholarship

To address this curricular component, the Spring 2020 IAMSE webcast audio seminar series will explore the implementation of Health Systems Science (HSS) curricula in medical education. Experts and thought leaders will discuss curricular efforts to incorporate HSS in undergraduate and graduate medical education. Specifically, after an introduction, the audience will learn about the goals and objectives of HSS curricula and become familiar with the challenges, obstacles, and feasibility as well as current curricular programs and efforts. Curricular strategies will be presented with hands-on detail including challenges of integration with basic and clinical sciences and assessment. At the end of the seminar series, the audience will be able to design and implement an HSS curriculum at their own institutions.
