独立调查调查(III)
The purpose of the III portion of the curriculum is to engage students in activities that will foster the skills of life-long learning essential for practicing physicians in the 21st century. 学生 will gain experience generating questions related to the practice of medicine and exploring the various methods available to resolve such questions. The student is strongly urged to select a topic of particular interest and to investigate the subject independently, utilizing the advice of a faculty advisor and other resources in the WWAMI community. This is a unique opportunity for students to choose both the content and form of their learning and to pursue an interest that may not be included elsewhere in the curriculum.
您可以选择五种方法来满足III要求. Each offers the student a different type of learning experience and each has its own III process, 期望和期限. 关于这些选修课的任何问题，请联系 UWSOM课程办公室. 有关第三阶段程序的更多详情，请参阅第三阶段程序 & MSRTP Catalyst站点.
选择1:数据收集/假设驱动的调查
这种选择可以采取基础实验室研究的形式, 一项调查显示, 对现有数据集的二次分析, 图表回顾, 定性研究或前瞻性临床试验. The research can be initiated by the student or by the advising faculty member, as long as the student has an independent role and makes an intellectual contribution to the project. 学生 selecting this option can expect to learn the steps and logic involved in trying to resolve an empirical question through data collection and analysis. 学生 will learn how to conduct research in a way that conforms with human or animal use regulations.
If a student undertakes research as part of a funded program such as MSRTP (Medical Student 研究 Training Program), 发育障碍, ITHS TL-1 (Multidisciplinary Predoctoral Clinical 研究 Training Program), 老龄研究医科学生培训, or UW/ACS (UW/American Cancer Society) Summer Fellowships in Clinical Cancer 研究), 该研究可以用来满足III的要求.

选修课2:文献评论
A critical review of the literature poses an unresolved scientific question relevant to the practice of clinical medicine and attempts to answer that question using evidence published in medical literature. Particular attention is paid to the methods of the studies reviewed in addition to the results. 另外, students can use published literature and other sources to analyze an issue in medicine or to perform an historical investigation.
学生 choosing Selective 2 learn how to use medical databases effectively. They learn how the population and methods employed in a study affect the interpretation of study results. 除了, they will learn how to synthesize information from a variety of sources in the form of an evidence table to draw a reasonable conclusion.

Selective 3: Experience-Driven Inquiry (See Rural Underserved Opportunities Program)
选择性4:特殊模拟选择性
This selective offers first-year medical students an opportunity to participate as a member of the staff of the Institute for Simulation and Interprofessional Studies (ISIS). The student will have the opportunity to research and develop the content for one or more simulated patients. 这个病人, 以及其他正在开发的项目, will be incorporated into a simulated hospital as the core of a computer-based "continuity of care" experience being developed for use with medical students.

专题5:促进发展中国家的社区卫生
An experience-driven investigation of an issue will be developed by the student while participating in the Global 健康 Immersion Program (GHIP, 以前IHOP). This option is for students with a strong interest in global health and underserved communities and is particularly suited to students on the Global 健康 Pathway. 学生 spend a minimum of eight weeks in a developing country working to understand and help improve the local health communities. 学生 perform a community health assessment and will develop and implement a community health project.

农村服务不足机会计划(RUOP)
爱达荷州WWAMI continues to nurture student interest in rural and underserved medicine through offering rural training experiences like the “Rural Underserved Opportunities Program” (RUOP) during the summer between their first and second years of medical school. RUOP is an experience-driven investigation of an issue in a community developed by the student while participating in the RUOP. 学生将在社区环境中密切观察医疗保健, 然后在这些观察的基础上开发一个项目. 该项目可以采取几种形式, 包括社区需求评估, 社区卫生干预计划, 或服务交付项目的评估.
在2015年的夏天, we placed 23 first-year medical students in this one-month rural primary care training experience throughout Idaho. 通过这个项目的成功, the 爱达荷州WWAMI RUOP program was the recipient of the 2012 Outstanding Program Award from the American Academy of Family Physicians and was honored at the AAFP Foundation awards banquet in Philadelphia, PA. 更多信息，请访问 农村服务不足机会项目网站.
