目标:尽管在医学院申请过程中实施了整体审查,关于如何在联合学士学位/医学学位课程中使用的信息很少,特别是由于许多课程为医学院的学生提供预留的位置。在综合学士学位/医学学位课程中实施整体审查,并有意将其结构化以符合医学院的使命和招生实践和流程,可以提高医生队伍的多样化,为更多的初级保健医生做出贡献,并促进国内实践。
方法:利用医学院的招生章程,委员会结构,共享培训,和教育过程,我们成功地在我们的委员会成员的价值观和使命对齐,以选择最好的申请人,以完成医学院的使命,使用整体审查。据我们所知,没有其他程序写过关于如何在综合学士学位/医学学位课程中使用整体审查,以及它如何有助于程序的结果。
背景:联合学士学位/医学学位课程是本科艺术与科学学院和医学院之间的合作伙伴关系。联合学士学位/医学学位招生委员会是医学院招生委员会的小组委员会,但有单独的成员。因此,该计划的整体录取过程反映了医学院的录取过程。为了确定这个过程的结果,我们分析了实践专业,练习地点,性别,计划校友的种族和种族。
结论:迄今为止,综合学士学位/医学学位整体录取过程支持了医学院的使命,\“...通过选择可能在需要的专业领域接受培训并留在或返回我们州需要医生的领域的学生来满足州的医生劳动力需求。“这一实施导致75%(37/49)的实习校友选择初级护理专业,69%(34/49)在该州执业。此外,55%(27/49)认为在医学中代表性不足。
结论:我们观察到,有意的结构化调整可以在联合学士学位/医学学位录取过程中实施整体实践。来自联合学士学位/医学学位课程的毕业生的高保留率和专业支持我们的有意努力使我们的招生委员会多样化,并使联合学士学位/医学学位课程的整体审查招生过程与我们的医学院使命和招生实践和流程。作为实现我们与多样性相关目标的关键战略。
OBJECTIVE: Despite the implementation of holistic
review in the medical school application process, there is little information about how this can be utilized in Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree pipeline programs, especially since many programs offer reserved spots to their students in the medical school. Implementing holistic
review in a Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree program and intentionally structuring it to align with the medical school mission and admissions practices and processes, can improve the diversification of the physician workforce, contribute to more primary care doctors, and promote in-state practice.
METHODS: Utilizing the medical school admissions by-laws, committee structure, shared training, and educational processes, we successfully engrained in our committee members the values and mission alignment to select the best applicants to fulfill the medical school mission using holistic
review. To our knowledge, no other program has written about how holistic
review is used in Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree programs and how it contributes to program outcomes.
BACKGROUND: The Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree Program is a partnership between the undergraduate College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Medicine. The Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree admissions committee is a subcommittee of the School of Medicine admissions committee but has a separate membership. Hence, the holistic admissions process for the program mirrors the School of Medicine admissions process. To determine the outcome of this process, we analyzed practice specialty, practice location, gender, race and ethnicity of program alumni.
CONCLUSIONS: To date, the Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree holistic admissions processes have supported the medical school mission, \"…To meet the physician workforce needs of the state by selection of students who are likely to train in specialty areas of need and to remain in or return to the areas of our state needing physicians.\" This implementation has resulted in 75% (37/49) of our practicing alumni selecting a primary care specialty, and 69% (34/49) practicing in the state. In addition, 55% (27/49) identify as Underrepresented in Medicine.
CONCLUSIONS: We observed that having an intentional structured alignment in place allowed for implementation of holistic practices in the Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree admissions process. The high retention rates and specialty of graduates from the Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree Program support our intentional efforts to diversify our admissions committees and align the Combined Baccalaureate/Medical Degree program\'s holistic
review admissions process with our School of Medicine mission and admissions practices and processes, as key strategies to reach our diversity-related goals.
