MIH Medical Education

Description: Medical Education, both for medical students and graduate medical education for residents and subspecialist fellows is a critical opportunity for interprofessional collaboration between Community Paramedics and physicians at several stages of their careers. These education opportunities expose physicians and future physician leaders to factors outside their common areas of practice and provide a critical opportunity for physicians and advanced practice paramedics to develop collaborative relationships. Allegheny Health Network has provided formal physician and medical student training opportunities in Mobile Integrated Health for several years. Subjected to a continuous quality improvement process, the curriculum and model presents a framework for wider adoption.
