POPULATION HEALTH
Population Health Milestones
Across Specialties
A review of milestones for 40 specialties/subspecialties found population health content
within the milestones of all 40.
 Some disciplines having milestones with
population health content in more than a dozen
sub-competencies.

Population Health Content in Milestones–
Example from Family Medicine
Population Health Content in Milestones–
Example from Plastic Surgery
Generic Milestones
Generic milestones across the four population
health competency domains
 Different specialties will aspire to different
levels
 Process

◦ Begun at conference of Society of Teachers of Family
Medicine
◦ Currently revising
◦ Review at I3 Collaborative Face-to-Face meeting this
fall
◦ Volunteers needed to review, provide feedback.

CULTURAL RESPONSIVENESS
Warm-Up
Imagine you are working in a pediatric practice. An immigrant couple
brings in their 18 month-old daughter. You notice that the child is
wearing the bracelet above. You are concerned that it may be a
choking hazard for the little girl. Please write a brief paragraph
explaining what you may say to, or ask, the parents about this issue.
Next Screen
 Here are two possible answers. Which one is more likely to
be effective? Please explain your answer in a few sentences.
 Answer 1:
◦ I’m concerned that that bracelet might be a choking hazard. It
could come loose as she chews on it and cause her to choke. You
should remove it. She should not wear a bracelet or other
jewelry until she is at least 3 years old.

Answer 2:
◦ You: That’s a beautiful bracelet. Can you tell me more about it?
Does it mean something special?
◦ Mother: It is an amulet to protect her from the evil eye.
◦ You: I understand. Does she ever play with it or chew on it?
◦ Mother: Sometimes. Not often.
◦ You: That’s good. I’m a little worried that, because she is so little,
she might chew on the bracelet and that if it came loose she
could choke. To keep her safe, could you check the bracelet every
day to make sure the catch and charm are secure, and encourage
her to keep it out of her mouth?
The exercise continues with a short
reading about cultural responsiveness and
two additional scenarios in which learners
are asked to write culturally responsive
solutions.
 The module concludes with a brief reading
about the role of Motivational Interviewing
in culturally responsive health care, and
additional resources for the learner to
explore.
