Seeing is Believing: Inclusion of Biomedical Scientist Educators as Observers on Clinical Rounds.
Abstract
Increasingly, medical school curricula seek to integrate the biomedical and clinical
sciences. Inclusion of the basic sciences into the clinical curricula is less robust
than including clinical content early in medical school. We describe inclusion of
biomedical scientists on patient care rounds to increase the visibility of biomedical
sciences, to nurture relationships between clinicians and biomedical scientists, and
to identify additional opportunities for integration throughout medical school.

My career focuses on interprofessional medical education, and collaboration in community
and population health. These are critically important areas with tremendous potential
for creativity, innovation, and learning from one another. These are also strategic
tools to advance health equity.

Healthcare costs in the United States are at an all time high. In 1997, 13.5% of
the Gross Domestic Product was spent on healthcare. Ten percent or 1.3% was spent
in the intensive care unit (ICU). Over 500,000 patients/year die in an ICU setting.
ICU mortality rates average 10-20%. Intensivists are now widely recognized as one
of the keys to improving outcome in the length of stay and cost/case. My research
interests lie in utilizing our scarce resources for the most appropriate patie
