| Title | Engaging Patients and the Public in the Social Accountability of Medical Schools |
| Rationale/Background | Social accountability is a mission of medical schools, but it can be challenging to appropriately involve patients and the public directly. Building on the success of UBC's MD undergraduate program's social accountability commitments, we obtained RCPSC funding to co-create evidence-informed guiding principles, models and processes for the authentic, ongoing and sustainable engagement of patients and the public. This 'Bringing Patients and Society Back into the Social Accountability of a Medical School' research project included a literature review, environmental scan and focus groups with patients and members of the public. From these data sources we identified ten recommendations to help medical schools fulfil their mandate for social accountability by involving patients / public in their mission, goals, curriculum and delivery of medical education. |
