Internships and field placements are a critical component of public health education in that they help ensure that future public health workers are able to apply theory and concepts to practice. However, developing successful practice-based experiences is dependent on both public health agencies and academic institutions collaborating to identify the competencies students should possess on entry into the field. It also takes considerable time and resources from public health departments to make these field placements successful. Seeking to innovate on existing field placement models in an effort to provide a rich relationship between students and practitioners, the Tennessee Department of Health has developed a new fellowship experience for recent graduates of public health programs that draws on the multidisciplinary aspects of post-graduate medical education. The Commissioner’s Fellowship in Public Health provides recent graduates an opportunity for practical high-level experiential learning in place of—or prior to—additional academic work. The program has two overarching goals: (1) to address emerging needs of public health in the areas of health policy and primary prevention while providing leadership, professional opportunities, and practical experience to recent graduates that will serve as a foundation for a career in public health; and (2) to provide a high level, diverse, and extended post-graduate population health experience prior to committing to a particular field.

The University

Background: A Guyana-based, internal medicine (IM) post-graduate medical education program was established in 2013. However, lack of formal teaching sessions are barriers to the program’s success.Objective: To describe the partnership between the University of Calgary and the University of Guyana’s internal medicine residency programs (IMRP). This partnership was created to support the Guyana’s IM academic half-day and is characterized by mutually beneficial, resident-led videoconference teaching sessions.Methods: Calgary medical residents volunteered to create and present weekly teaching presentations to Guyanese residents via videoconference. Questionnaires were completed by Guyanese residents and provided to Calgary residents as feedback on their teaching and presentation skills. A similar survey was completed by Calgary residents.Lessons learned: Twenty-four videoconference teaching sessions were conducted over eight months with a total of 191 and 16 surveys completed by Guyana and Calgary residents, respectively. Over 92% of both Guyana and Calgary residents agreed that the sessions enhanced their learning and over 93% reported increased interest in becoming more involved in international collaborations. 88% of Calgary residents felt the sessions improved their teaching skills.Conclusion: The formation of a resident-led, videoconference teaching series is a mutually beneficial partnership for Canadian and Guyanese medical residents and fosters international collaboration in medical education.
