In July 2020, the Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine (KPSOM) opened its doors with an ambitious mission, clear vision, and 50 eager students—all of whom, in the midst of the global pandemic, sat in carefully measured, socially-distanced desks. On May 8, 2023, former DPM faculty member Maureen T. Connelly, MD, MPH, now Senior Associate Dean for Academic and Community Affairs at KPSOM, returned to Boston to tell us all about it.
We are pleased to announce that Sahil Sandhu, a medical student at Harvard Medical School, has been selected to receive the annual Fletcher Prize in Population Medicine. In his winning submission, “Electronic Patient-reported Outcomes: The Missing Link in Population Health Efforts”, he proposes that in addition to supporting the patient-clinician encounter, electronic patient-reported outcomes provide an opportunity to drive care transformation through learning health system efforts and payment reform.
