Possible explanations for this include lack of access and exposure, emotional immaturity, and knowledge deficits. This often leads to a perception that disabilities lie outside the scope of primary care. We constructed a disabilities curriculum and embedded it within our existing third year curriculum. This curriculum is different from others because of the hands-on component in which the students are paired with a patient with a disability, the goal being to help patients transition successfully from pediatric to adult care. The disabilities curriculum also requires the students to listen to a lecture describing the healthcare challenges facing persons with disability. The curriculum also includes a video showing proper etiquette toward patients with disabilities in medical environments. Finally, the students together visit the home of a young person with disabilities. The students complete the validated “Medical Student Attitudes toward Persons with Disabilities” survey before and after the curriculum is completed. We compare those responses with another institution where the curriculum is not offered.","PeriodicalId":92811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of regional medical campuses","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90409128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure consistent content delivery within the basic science curriculum, students at all three campuses simultaneously participate in daily learning activities, utilizing distributed learning through a multidirectional digital classroom incorporating video-conferencing and audience response systems. \u0000Methods: \u0000To best uncover and understand the perspectives and attitudes of faculty and medical students, qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed framed within constructivist grounded theory. This framework is rooted in social processes of the participants lived experiences and views these experiences as paramount to the analysis and presentation. Prospectively, data was acquired regarding individual experiences from first-year medical students and medical school teaching faculty across the three campuses. Beginning in the 2015–2016 academic year, nine semi-structured focus groups were conducted with concluding surveys. These focus groups were separated by campus location: medical students at Brew City, medical students at Packer City, and faculty who taught at either the three-year regional campus or four-year campus. In winter 2017, the study expanded including one additional student-centered focus group in Central City. Each focus group was recorded using a hand-held device, transcribed, and analyzed using the constant comparative method. This inductive approach required close examination of the transcriptions and line-by-line analysis to assign codes that captured the emerging themes. To triangulate the data and further understand the medical student and faculty lived experiences, a concluding survey was distributed to participants. This survey included eight, seven-point Likert-scale questions to further ascertain experience and overall satisfaction with the new learning environment. Numerical data was analyzed with IBM® SPSS® 24. This study was approved by the institutions review board. \u0000Results: \u0000In 2015–16, Packer City students rated their overall learning experience significantly (d=0.74, p<.050) higher (mean (sd)=7.6 (0.6)) than students in Brew City (6.7; 1.6) and significantly higher (d=1.21, p<.034) than the faculty (6.0 (1.0)). During 2016–17, overall learning experience scores did not differ from those of the previous years for Packer City (D=0.0) or Brew City students (D=0.0). A comparison of scores across all three campuses in 2016–17 yielded a significant change (d=1.28, p<.037) between the Central City campus (mean (sd)=7.8 (1.1)) and the Brew City campus (6.7 (0.5). No significant changes were reported between Packer City and the other two campuses.
