Preventive medicine teaching cases for preventive medicine residents.

Preventive medicine education is unique in that its successes are measured in groups of people. Conveying this population perspective can be difficult, even to preventive medicine residents, some of whom have been in clinical practice for many years. The Case-Based Series in Population-Oriented Prevention (C-POP) was adapted for use in the New York State Preventive Medicine Residency curriculum. Parts of two of the cases were felt to be too clinical for use in this setting, but the other cases were well received and imparted the desired population perspective. Although the C-POP series was produced for undergraduate medical education, it is generally adaptable to the needs of a preventive medicine curriculum.

Maternal mortality.

This case-maternal mortality-is one of a series of teaching cases in the Case-Based Series in Population-Oriented Prevention (C-POP). It has been developed for use in medical school and residency prevention curricula. The complete set of cases is presented in this supplement to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Maternal mortality remains an important public health concern, even though it is a rare event. This teaching module introduces five case reports of maternal death to provide a clinical lead into discussions about data sources such as death certificates and their limitations. The students will also calculate maternal mortality rates and explore racial disparities in this health indicator. Finally, the students will develop intervention strategies to identify and prevent maternal mortality.
