Patient Safety/Quality Improvement (PS/QI)
'Physicians have a duty to provide safe and effective care. Healthcare organizations are committed to protecting patients from errors, injuries, accidents, and infections. The disciplines of patient safety and quality improvement play an integral role in health care, and as physicians you are expected to engage in activities within the healthcare system to provide this care. Throughout LSP you will complete modules, read articles, and participate in activities that will introduce you to the principles of patient safety and quality improvement. This will allow you to expand your knowledge and contribute to a safe clinical environment as you begin your medical career and beyond.

Self-Directed Learning (SDL)
Self-directed learning skills are critical in the medical field for life-long learning to remain competent, stay up-to-date on current literature, and follow best practices in the field. The SDL curriculum at UTHSC is designed to develop these skills, such as identifying your own knowledge gaps, finding credible and reliable resources to address those knowledge gaps, and synthesizing information based on those resources. In this longitudinal curriculum, students receive individualized formative feedback from a dedicated team of clinicians, which can help students improve their SDL skills.
Interprofessional Education (IPE)
This course features several interprofessional education (IPE) events during which you鈥檒l collaborate with students and faculty from various healthcare professions, enhancing your understanding of their unique contributions to patient outcomes. IPE activities will focus on interdisciplinary communication and teamwork to address complex healthcare and psychosocial concerns.

Longitudinal Scholar鈥檚 Program (LSP) is a program that consists of a series of courses taken in the three-year/four-year medical school curriculum. The courses introduce students to five different areas of scholarly activities: health research, patient safety, and quality improvement (PSQI), community and global health including service learning, self-directed learning, and interprofessional education.
Each semester there are course modules that are due. These modules consist of either online trainings or exams that must be completed. The items are always due at the end of each course. In addition to these requirements, students are required to complete a project in one of the following areas: health research, patient safety and quality improvement, community and global health. This project can span several semesters or years and culminates with a graded presentation that must be completed before graduation.
You will use eMedley to obtain information and upload your completion certificates by attaching them to the associated homework assignment for each course you are enrolled. Your name must be present on the certificate/screenshot to receive credit.

Project and Presentations
A student wishing to complete a project as the fulfillment of their Longitudinal Scholars' Program (LSP) requirement must follow the general guidelines (i.e. a听Student-Mentor Agreement which must be completed and approved before any work on the project can begin, and the work must culminate in a poster presentation at an approved venue (or at one of the LSP poster presentation sessions).
A student wishing to complete a service learning project as the fulfillment of their Longitudinal Scholars' Program (LSP) requirement must follow the same general guidelines as those specified for any other LSP project (i.e. a听Student-Mentor Agreement听must be completed and approved before any work on the project can begin, and the work must culminate in a poster presentation at an approved venue or at one of the LSP sessions).
