Health systems science education for undergraduate medical students: a 3-year longitudinal curriculum preparing students to drive real-world health system improvement

The course faculty plan to continue instilling and nurturing HSS competencies during the early stages of medical education and envision expanding such courses to more health professionals in the future, including those from nursing, pharmacy, and other health programs. Student feedback and lessons learned will be used to inform course improvements, implement robust assessments, and influence a cultural shift towards greater engagement in QI work alongside clinical care.
