The Pathways Program and Tracks of the Osler Residency
Background
During the next decade we believe academic institutions will create centers of excellence in many of the most relevant areas of healthcare growth including science, entrepreneurship, patient safety and quality, global health, medical education, data science and health systems management. At the same time, an increasing number of residents are deciding early in their education to pursue specialized careers in these areas. The Osler Medical Residency aspires to recruit and develop physicians who will become leaders in these fields. Therefore, recognizing the depth of experience needed to succeed in these fields, we have created formal pathways and tracks to cultivate interest, develop skills, receive mentorship, and promote career development for our residents during their internal medicine training. Our premise is that early and meaningful exposure to the tremendous resources and mentors across our health system and university will develop our residents into world-class leaders they aspire to become.
Overall Structure
The Pathways Program
The Osler Program launched the first phase of the Pathways Program in July 2015—an innovative approach to career development unique in graduate medical education. The Pathways include: Global Health; Patient Safety and Quality Improvement; and Medical Education. The Pathways Program enhances the second and third years of internal medicine training via curricula with unique coursework, hands-on experiences, sophisticated exposure to content and experts, and individualized mentorship. The Pathways are designed for residents in whom the selected domain is highly likely to become central to their career. As such, not all residents will become part of a pathway, and not all interested residents will be accepted into pathways.
Pathways are experiences that are shared between the Osler Medical Residency and the Bayview Internal Medicine Residency. Each Pathway is led by 2 DOM faculty who are experts in the Pathway focus, one from the Bayview Campus and one from the Johns Hopkins Hospital Campus. Residents from both Osler and Bayview apply to join these pathways in the winter of their intern year, and if accepted begin the 2-year Pathway experience in their junior resident year.
