ACP and MedU collaborate on High Value Care course for medical students

ACP and MedU have created an online High Value Care course for medical students based on a curriculum developed by ACP and the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM).

The online course is intended to help medical students evaluate the benefits, harms, and costs of tests and treatment options so they can make high-value care a reality in clinical practice. The course has 6 modules that include short interactive virtual patient cases, brief instructional videos, embedded links, and key teaching points. The course is available to any school or student with a subscription to MedU.

Funding to create the High Value Care course was provided by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, the ABIM Foundation, and AAIM.

ACP's High Value Care initiative is designed to help doctors and patients understand the benefits, harms, and costs of tests and treatment options for common clinical issues so they can pursue care together that improves health, avoids harms, and eliminates wasteful practices.

MedU is the leading provider of virtual patient cases for undergraduate medical education with over 90% adoption by North American medical schools and 1 million cases completed annually.
