University of Hawaii
Integrated Pediatric Residency Program
Medical Home Model Practice Module
The Medical Home Model Practice is an attempt to go beyond the traditional
emphasis on “continuity: in a resident’s ambulatory care practice to begin
stressing other non-cognitive skills needed for effective community-based
practice. These “other skills” are being increasingly recognized by national
organizations (such as the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education,
the Future of Pediatric Education II, and the American Academy of Pediatrics) as
skills that need as much emphasis during residency training as the concept of
“continuity”. To accomplish this, you will be trained in and incorporate the
philosophy of the Medical Home (compassionate, culturally effective,
family-centered, coordinated, comprehensive, accessible and continuous care)
into your continuity care practices. You will also be introduced to and utilize
evidence-based practices and nationally recognized health supervision
guidelines.
