: 1.047_NEP Novel approach to engage medical students in global health education and application S. Folsom, S. Schoenhals, L. Jensen, B. Fassl, T. Dickerson; The University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, UT, United States, Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, United States Program/Project Purpose: Medical student interest in global health has increased dramatically in recent years, but providing meaningful experiences for busy students has proven a challenge. In a grassroots effort to develop the global health curriculum at the University of Utah School of Medicine (UUSOM), faculty and students hosted master training simulation courses in Helping Babies Breathe (HBB), Essential Care for Every Baby (ECEB), and Helping Mothers Survive (HMS). These evidence-based programs have been shown to reduce maternal and child morbidity and mortality when applied in resource limited settings, but there is little information regarding their efficacy as part of medical student education. The ultimate goal was to determine the utility of these courses in a medical school setting and assess student interest in incorporating such trainings into the UUSOM global health curriculum. Structure/Method/Design: Master training courses in HBB (June 9-11, 2015), ECEB (September 30-October 1, 2015), and HMS (November 3-4, 2015) were offered to interested UUSOM students free of cost. Students were recruited via a student body email, and were signed up for the courses on a first come, first serve basis. The training courses took place on weekday evenings outside of formal lecture time. After the courses, surveys were sent to participating students to assess whether they thought the courses were useful and if they should be offered on a more formal basis. Outcome & Evaluation: 17/18 participating students felt that these courses were beneficial to their medical education. 17/18 felt that the trainings were a good use of medical student time, and 17/18 would be interested in using these trainings in a future international elective. 18/18 students felt that these trainings should be available to future students. As a result of this positive feedback, a three credit Maternal and Neonatal Survival Course has been developed at the UUSOM. The new course will include online teaching modules, simulation trainings, as well as opportunities for students to facilitate trainings in global settings. Going Forward: Other medical schools can benefit from similar programs. Future studies are needed to enhance and modify these new pathways for global health education.
