| Title | Can Community Placements Influence Decision Making in Medical Schools? Exploring the Community Triad Model to Action Social Accountability in Medical Schools |
| Background/Purpose | Our poster will summarize a third article in a series exploring drivers of social accountability (SA) in medical schools across Canada. The findings from the first two articles in this series lead to the emergence of a new social accountability model- the Community Triad Model (CTM). The CTM proposes the interconnectedness between community, students, faculty and the broader institution, and the pathways through with community-based placements directly and indirectly influence decision-making in medical institutions. Strengthening these relationships involve rebalancing power between the community and medical institution, as well as between students and faculty. |
| Methods | The third phase of this study initially began by exploring the relationship between the three arms of the community triad by examining the literature on community placements and SA, revisiting popular models in SA, as well as inspecting foundational SA reports for expectations around authentic community engagement. |
| Results | While there is an abundance of literature demonstrating the impact of community placements on students, there are limited studies describing the influence of communities on faculty and the broader institution either directly, or indirectly via students. This study proposes to address the above gaps through surveys and semi-structured focus group discussions with international student groups. |
| Discussion | This study offers an operational model of SA that is easy to adopt and implement and can demonstrate how the components of the triad (students, faculty/leadership, community) function together in the community engagement and social accountability of medical schools. |
