Each year, the Center for Professionalism and Communication in Health Care (external link) sponsors the Curriculum Challenge where medical schools, residency programs, medical centers, and physician assistant and nurse practitioner programs compete for a free year-long subscription to Health Care Communication (external link) or Professional Formation (external link) modules. The 2023 winners are Jacobs School of Medicine at the University of Buffalo; Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, McGovern Medical School; Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; and the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The Center for Professionalism and Communication in Health Care (external link) became the new home for Health Care Communication (external link) and Professional Formation (external link). Health Care Communication (external link), formerly DocCom, has 44 online interactive modules with over 700 realistic videos (external link), and Professional Formation (external link) with 15 modules and 190 videos, (external link) is used by hundreds of health professions schools, residency programs, and hospitals. Drexel University College of Medicine brought both programs under one umbrella to share the resources among subscribers (external link).
Gioconda Mojica MD, Chandler Moody MD and Keith Riggs MD formed an MMS team to win this recognition and help the school develop professionalism and communication curricula using these best practice tools. Congratulations!
