Background
Acknowledgements.
The Heart Disease Group Project (HDGP), as part of the longitudinal curriculum, takes place over six months during the second Medical (M2) and Pharmacy (P2) year.
Teams of 8-10 medical and pharmacy students are presented with a 66-year old patient entering the health care system for the first time with a myocardial infarction (MI).
Each team is responsible for researching competency-based topics including patient care, medical knowledge, practice based learning, systems based practice, communication skills, and professionalism.
Six meetings (3 mandatory and 3 voluntary) are held, and consultants (in addition to a medicine and pharmacy faculty member) attend these meetings to answer student questions.
Each team is required to submit one cumulative paper, prepare team members for a randomly assigned oral presentation, and perform self and peer evaluations.
Dr. John Sutton for his work developing the HDGP and for his commitment to interprofessional education
