This innovative course for first year medical student places patients, families, and caregivers front and center in the journey to explore health from a person-centered perspective, and better understand the challenges of managing optimal health in a complex health care system. The curriculum is organized around a monthly workshop series, which explores a different health systems science topic each month through lectures from experts from Stanford and the community, and from the perspectives of an individual patient or caregiver, or panel, with time to engage in discussion. Students are also paired with a patient partner with whom they meet monthly outside of class at a mutually convenient time at the school, medical center, or other location key to learning about the patient and caregiver journey, and to further explore together the impact of the monthly topic at the individual level. This course is a partnership of the School of Medicine¿s Stanford Healthcare Innovations and Experiential Learning Directive (SHIELD) program, the Stanford Health Care Patient & Family Partner Program, and the Stanford Division of Primary Care and Population Health.
