Sustaining traditions of excellence
This bicentennial year marking the University of Michigan's founding in 1817 offers many opportunities to recognize the remarkable people and programs that comprise the university's storied past, present, and future.
One such notable program is the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars, which has consistently provided world-class training and mentorship in health services research and policy throughout its 22-year history at U-M. The 119 scholars who have trained through the Clinical Scholars Program here have emerged very well prepared to pursue their research passions and assume leadership roles in health and healthcare.
The final cohort of seven scholars will complete the program in June, equipped with the skills and experience necessary to improve community health, policy, and clinical practice. We wish them well as they embark on the next stage of their careers!
Since last summer, we have been very pleased to host the new IHPI Clinician Scholars Program, in partnership with the VA Center for Clinical Management Research and with program sites at UCLA, Penn, and Yale. We will welcome the
second cohort of Clinician Scholars in July. As part of the National Clinician Scholars Program, we are
now accepting applicants to our third cohort to begin in July 2018. I look forward to IHPI supporting the new cohorts of incoming and future scholars as they strive to promote greater quality and equity in healthcare and health.
Earlier this month we were pleased to welcome Andrew Bindman, M.D., for another milestone, our third annual IHPI Director's Lecture. Dr. Bindman, a professor at UCSF and former director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), provided his insightful perspective on the role of evidence in federal health policymaking.

I look forward to our continued collaboration throughout this bicentennial year and beyond.

Courtney Shepard, M.D.
Clinical Lecturer, Department of Urology, Medical School
"The utilization of gynecologic services and contraception is low in young women with disabilities; Research has shown that only about 5 percent of young women with spina bifida have ever discussed this topic with a provider, despite nearly 50 percent being sexually active. By equipping providers with the training and tools they need to provide sexual and reproductive health education and care to young women with spina bifida and other physical disabilities, these women can finally get the care they both need and desire."

Access to long-lasting contraception after childbirth lags behind demand
|
|
|
Before leaving the hospital after childbirth, more women are opting to check one thing off their list: birth control. But access to long-lasting, reversible contraception like an intrauterine device immediately after giving birth may still lag far behind the demand, suggests a new study by
Vanessa Dalton, M.D., M.P.H., associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and
Michelle Moniz, M.D., M.Sc., assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and
Lindsay Admon, M.D., IHPI clinician scholar and clinical lecturer of obstetrics and gynecology.

Advancing patient and family engaged care by building the evidence base
|
Patient and family-engaged care (PFEC) has been recognized as an essential piece of the national strategy for delivering improved care, patient experiences, and reducing costs. Yet extensive acceptance of PFEC practices throughout the healthcare system has been lagging.
Ann-Marie Rosland, M.D., M.S., U-M assistant professor of internal medicine, and research scientist at VA Ann Arbor's Center for Clinical Management Research, recently helped develop a framework to guide the National Academy of Medicine's efforts to advance widespread adoption of PFEC, as part of a Scientific Advisory Panel charged with assessing the empirical evidence base supporting PFEC approaches.
