The seven-part syllabus for SETMA’s Senior Medical Student Externship is outlined below. The syllabus contains only a small portion of SETMA’s electronic medical record tools, presentations, awards, articles and history. All of SETMA’s work is detailed at www.jameslhollymd.com. We refer to ourselves as the “healthcare exhibitionists,” if we have done it, it is on our website. Our work includes our association with the Diabetes Center of Excellence, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the American Board of Family Practice, the Johnson and Johnson Company, IBM, HIMSS and numerous other organizations.
Ten years ago, SETMA was asked to define our ultimate goal. With humility and recognition of our limitations in this regard, we cautiously said, “Our goal is to help change how healthcare is delivered in America.” Through our transformative use of electronic medical records, morphed into electronic patient management, hopefully we have made a small but important contribution to that process.
Nothing could be more satisfying in SETMA’s history and advancement than the opportunity to be entrusted with introducing senior medical students and soon residents in internal medicine and family medicine to the practical applications of best practices, evidence-based medicine, informatics and analytics. We are three days before the arrival of the first student to our externship and we could not be more delighted.
This syllabus will evolve and our understanding of how we can improve students’ experience at SETMA will grow; but, our commitment to excellence in healthcare and our belief in our responsibility to contribute to the training of the next generation of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physicians and other healthcare colleagues will remain constant.
The course objectives for SETMA’s Senior Medical Student Externship are to identify, describe and define:
- The critical role of primary care in healthcare Transformation.
