INDE 290A: Walk With Me: A Patient and Family Centered Exploration of Health & The Health Care SystemThis innovative course for pre-clinical students 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. Each month we explore a different health systems science topic through expert lectures incorporating the perspectives of patients and family caregivers, with time to engage in discussion and explore patient-centered solutions to real-world problems. Students are paired with a patient partner for the year with whom they meet monthly, outside of class, to explore the patient and caregiver journey by developing an individual relationship.
