TOPIC:
Medical Education, Policy, Healthcare and Evidence: Are They Part of the Same Puzzle?
 
DESCRIPTION:
Evidence should guide the interpretation and decision to implement research results into the healthcare delivery system. Health care policy decisions help provide structure to and a road map for the healthcare delivery system. How much healthcare policy and system level information should medical providers learn early in their career? Does the changing health care delivery landscape necessitate a different approach? Having been a practicing FP, an FP Residency Faculty member, the medical director of the Clinical Programs operated by King County Public Health and now the Deputy Chief Medical Officer at the WA State Health Care Authority – I would like to share, (and discuss) some of my perspectives and thoughts about the questions posed above.
