As the practice of medicine evolves, so must the training of new physicians. Learn how NCH Healthcare System is using Lean methodology in their graduate medical education program to prepare internal medicine residents for their future careers as practicioners and physician leaders.  Physicians must learn to work in multidisciplinary teams to care for patients, improve outcomes, and lower costs.  Becoming a competent physicians takes more than getting the right diagnosis, it requires understanding the business of healthcare.

This presentation will not only give examples of how NCH Healthcare System is using a classroom based curriculum within the constraints of a residency schedule, but also how we are using team based projects for experiental learning. Residents are coached throughout the year by a dyad of physician mentors and Lean engineers. Classroom instruction is provided to coincide with the phase of the improvement project.  In this way residents are challenged to learn by doing in a supportive environment.

We are teaching resident physicians structured problem solving so that they can recognize issues that they see in their daily work, understand the root cause, and apply countermeasures appropriately. Residents are learning to use A3s, much like they use SOAP progress notes with their clinical work, to document their project phases, communicate with team members, and receive coaching from mentors. We hope that this will help shift the local culuture of our own institution and help bring about a larger change when the residents graduate and practice in other communities.
