Achieving Social Accountability in Healthcare Through Graduate Medical Education
Alison Huffstetler, MD FAAFP, Medical Director of the Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Primary Care, Assistant Professor Department of Family Medicine and Population Health at Virginia Commonwealth University
Evan Heald MD, Moderator, Brodie Medical Education Committee Director, Associate Professor of Medicine, UVA
Socially accountable healthcare will transform the way people and communities receive and perceive health. To achieve equitable healthcare delivery with societal accountability, Graduate Medical Education (GME) must grow, geographically adapt, and reframe curricula to address community priorities.1,2 The history of GME directly impacts the distribution and training system in place today; there have been incremental policy efforts to increase allotment of training and training in place.3 However, financial incentives alone have not produced better outcomes or community accountability.4 What are the next steps to ensure high-value care is implemented in every community?

Education Grand Rounds
To Infinity and Beyond: Why Aspiration Matters in Healthcare Simulation Practice
12:00 noon – 1:00 p.m.
Auditorium
Education Resource Building
Presented by Christine Park, MD, FASA, FSSH, Professor of Anesthesiology and Medical Education, Director, Simulation and Integrative Learning Institute, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Past President, Society for Simulation in Healthcare
In the forward to the 2013 edition of the novel Fahrenheit 451, Neil Gaiman described the three main questions that form the engine of any work of science fiction: “What if”, “If only”, and “If this goes on like this..” As he points out, science fiction is ultimately about how the realities of now may lead to the future. These questions, when reflecting on them, are a remarkably useful way to think about almost anything that is meaningful to us, including the topic at hand – healthcare simulation.
In this session and using this framework of questions, Dr. Park will explore the history and evolution of healthcare simulation including its Code of Ethics, address some risks and benefits of simulation and how a code of ethics can inform a way forward, and describe evolving concepts in the practice of healthcare simulation. By the end of this session, participants will be able to explain the relevance of a Code of Ethics in professional practice; dive in to a conversation about some risks and benefits of simulation; and contribute to the evolution of healthcare simulation practice.
