COVID-19 has altered clinical clerkships for medical students, providing an opportunity for telehealth with medical students to take center stage in the age of technology. This research brief demonstrates why and how to incorporate medical students into telehealth. For the purposes of clinical students, telehealth is a better educational alternative to in-person patient care than online modules. We performed a successful outpatient family medicine telehealth pilot program at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) that is currently being scaled up to other clerkships. This pilot was very limited in scope, but serves as a scalable model for future telehealth programs and curricula incorporating medical students.

In July 2014, a class of twelve third year medical students associated with Medical University of South Carolina-Charleston (MUSC-C) and Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine-Carolinas Campus (VCOM-CC) began their clinical training at AnMed. Since that time, 48 medical students have completed their clinical training at AnMed Health, and 75% of them have entered primary care residencies.

The Transdisciplinary Collaborative Center (TCC) in Precision Medicine for Minority Men’s Health was established at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in 2015 to address disparities in the translation of precision medicine approaches among racial minority groups. This regional consortium focuses on three primary areas: (1) the development of a consortium of regional and national partners, (2) conducting transdisciplinary research examining synergistic effects of biological, social, physiological, and clinical determinants of chronic disease risks and outcomes, and (3) dissemination and implementation of precision medicine approaches, with an emphasis on reducing disparities in health care and outcomes among minority men. Given consistent calls to better translate precision medicine approaches and the focus of this consortium on addressing disparities among minority men, we provide an overview of our experience in developing the MUSC TCC, including barriers and facilitators to conducting translational research on minority men’s health issues in the context of precision medicine. Lessons learned and areas for improvement include providing enough time to create consistent partnerships and community engagement to improve recruitment and retention, identifying unique ways to engage diverse partners from across the region and nation, and better approaches to dissemination and communication for large partnerships focusing on precision medicine.

We must be aware that freedom from organic disease alone can not be our goal. The optimal functioning of the individual must be our aim, and that it occur in an environment conducive to a fuller life. We must be aware that man does not live by bread alone, nor by his antihypertensive pill alone. We must be citizens of the community, helping to make it a better place for the raising of our children, for a fuller educational opportunity, for the development of the arts and other cultural aspects which help raise man above the level of animal life. Thus, the making of a doctor almost begins at his mother's knee. Nurtured further by society and its educational and Cultural institutions, he is finally given a privilege by society, to act in a responsible way in furthering the health, both physical and mental, of those he calls his patients.

Background: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented changes to the reimbursement scheme for 340B-acquired medications on January 1, 2018, reducing payments by approximately 25%. It was recognized that these changes would have a significant fiscal impact to Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Health. The purpose of this assessment was to review the financial impact of changes in Medicare reimbursement for clinic-administered medications. Methods: This study was a single-center, retrospective, financial evaluation of closed outpatient encounters for Medicare beneficiaries in calendar year 2018. Actual reimbursement was calculated for 2018. To better characterize the margin obtained, exploratory analyses were completed to identify best- and worst-case reimbursement outcomes. This exploratory analysis was conducted for both the new (ASP-22.5%) and old (ASP+6%) reimbursement schemes. Results: Overall, 10 973 encounters were reviewed for inclusion. Ultimately, 8028 encounters were included in the final analysis. Of all encounters, 88 unique medications were administered. Most of the drugs (55%) were associated with oncologic indications. An unfavorable variance was found in 3761 encounters (47%). The actual reimbursement margin for 2018 was $3 193 525. Conclusion: Changes to reimbursement outlined by the CMS at the start of 2018 resulted in decreased reimbursement for 340B-eligible, clinic-administered medications. Most of the unfavorable variances were associated with 340B acquisition prices that exceeded reimbursement. Although the original intent of the 340B Drug Pricing Program was to stretch federal resources, decreased payments could reduce institutional ability to fund programs that support medically vulnerable populations.
