Overview of Medical School Years 1 & 2 Basic Science Lectures / Small Groups Some Clinical Experiences Years 3 & 4 Clinical Rotations Inpatient / Outpatient Some Basic Science
Years 3 & 4 • Consists of Clinical Rotations • Required “Core” Rotations • Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Surgery, OB, Psych, EM, Peds) • Electives • Many schools (including Jefferson) utilize large affiliate networks to provide clinical training in the 3rd and 4th years.
Years 1 & 2 Jefferson Campus • Years 3 & 4 • 20 Affiliate Sites • CCHS = largest • Students participate in a lottery for rotation sites • Rotations at many sites
Idea of a Branch Campus • Medical schools are expanding • Expansion typically follows one of two models: • “In Place” • More students on existing campus and facilities • “Regional campus model” • offer some curriculum to a portion of the class (most commonly clinical education).
Rationale for a DE Branch Campus • Delaware has no medical school • One of 5 in the country • Jefferson acts as the medical school for DE • CCHS is the largest affiliate
DE Campus • Started 2 years ago • Jefferson students spend 3rd and 4th year in Delaware for clinical rotations • CCHS, AI DuPont • Voluntary • Chosen by students in 2nd year
Advantages of Branch Campus For Students: • Eliminate orientation to constantly changing locations • Learning one computer system • Learning one hospital system • Creating connections with students, residents and faculty • Becoming part of local culture • Personal relationships for mentoring, letters of recommendations, etc.
Advantages of Branch Campus For DE: • Engaged / invested learners • Potential pipe-line
Status of DE Branch Campus • 29 current Branch Campus Students • Class of 2013 11 students • Class of 2014 6 students • Class of 2015 12 students
Conclusions • Anecdotally- Branch Campus students are very satisfied • Formal Exit Interviews and Evaluations of first graduating class pending • Match results Pending • Attractive to students from DE • As expected
Path Forward • Increase enrollment • Promoting earlier and frequently • Explore feasibility of more official DIMER linkage • Mentoring • Conferences • Admissions Process • ? Commitment of DIMER students to DE Branch Campus
Path Forward • Explore expansion of clinical opportunities in DE • Inter-Professional training • DHSA • Rural Rotations
