Center faculty provide key leadership and teaching roles in educational
and research training programs throughout the medical center and Ohio.
In the medical school curriculum of Case
Western Reserve University, faculty lead the required curriculum in
health care decision making (epidemiology, prevention and public health,
health economics, and bioethics), the research curriculum in the Primary
Care Track, the Evidence-Based Medicine curriculum at MetroHealth
Medical Center, and a course in Activism
in Medicine.
In graduate training in health services research, faculty offer several
courses for physician trainees (Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Clinical
Research Methods, Observational Studies, Large Health Care Databases,
Research Issues in Disadvantaged Populations, Health Care Economics, Cost-effectiveness
Analysis in Health Care) in the Clinical
Research Scholars Program, and they lead and advise students in M.S.
and M.D.-Ph.D. programs through the Department
of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. At MetroHealth
Medical Center, Center faculty lead health care professionals training
in Quality Improvement through the MetroHealth Quality Scholars Program.
In addition, Center faculty coordinate over 100 Geriatrics continuing
medical education courses annually throughout the state of Ohio, under
the auspices of the Western
Reserve Geriatric Education Center, housed at the Center in the Rammelkamp
Building.
Support for Center educational and training commitments derive both from external grants and MetroHealth operating funds. Training grants include awards from the federal Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ/T32), the National Institutes of Health (NHLBI/K30), and the Health Resources and Services Administration/Bureau of Health Professions (HRSA/BHP).
