I. INTRODUCTION
The Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health in the School of Medicine in Kansas City is a broad based multidisciplinary department whose primary focus is on the health of populations. Although categorized by the medical school as a basic science department, it is actually a hybrid between basic and clinical sciences. The Department has experienced tremendous growth over the past eight years. In 1997 Dr. Jasjit Ahluwalia came to KU as the Vice-chair of the Department. At that time, the Departments of Preventive Medicine in Wichita and Kansas City were combined as a single Department under the leadership of Dr. Ed Dismuke. With Dr. Dismuke located in Wichita, Dr. Ahluwalia provided the administrative direction for Preventive Medicine on the Kansas City campus.1 With the rapid growth of the Department on the Kansas City campus, the Departments were split in 2001 and Dr. Ahluwalia assumed the role of Chair of the Department on the Kansas City campus. He retained this position until September 2005 when he moved to the University of Minnesota. At that time, Edward Ellerbeck, MD, MPH, assumed the role of interim chair. The Department of Preventive Medicine in Kansas City plays critical roles at the University in the areas of teaching, research, and service. From a teaching standpoint, the Department, in conjunction with the Department of Preventive Medicine-Wichita, runs a rapidly growing Masters in Public Health (MPH) program. The MPH program is closely allied to the development of the new Masters of Science in Clinical Research (MS-CR) program which, in turn, provides the infrastructure for the institutions K-30 Clinical Research Curriculum Program. The MS-CR and the K-30 are critical for addressing the institutions priority needs for training new clinical researchers. The Department also plays the primary role in educating medical students about biostatistics, epidemiology, health promotion, disease prevention, systems of health care, and practice-based learning and improvement. From a research standpoint, the Department serves three critical roles. First, as described above, the Department is the leading source for formal training of students and junior faculty in clinical research methods. Second, the Department provides biostatistics and research design support for research throughout the Medical Center. Finally, the Department has a young cadre of Principal Investigators addressing a variety of research themes related to health promotion and disease prevention, primarily in the area of cancer prevention and control. From a service perspective, members of the Department provide critical support for multiple research, education, and administrative services throughout the Medical Center. Faculty members serve on multiple local and state committees. At the national level, faculty serve as reviewers for numerous journals and participate in grant reviews for the NIH and other research agencies.

All other departments in the medical school on the Wichita campus have an independent departmental identity separate from their counterparts on the Kansas City campus.

This self-study has been developed as part of a review of the departments status within the School of Medicine. A question has arisen as to the goals and direction of this department; in particular whether or not this department should be merged with the Department of Health Policy and Management in the School of Medicine. Although there has been discussion about the possibility of a School of Public Health, there seems to be greater interest in the creation of an Institute for Public Health centered at the Medical Center.

II. DEPARTMENTAL VISION, MISSION, AND GOALS

VISION: Excellence in education, research, and service in public health and preventive medicine, resulting in healthy people in healthy communities. MISSION: To foster health promotion, disease prevention, and public health at the local, regional, national, and international levels. GOALS: Educate medical students and other health professionals in Kansas and the region in the science and practice of public health and preventive medicine. Train public health professionals for Kansas and the region. Develop innovative and collaborative research approaches to primary, secondary and tertiary prevention among populations. Provide critical training and research support for researchers and clinicians at the medical center and in the region. Collaborate with communities, public health agencies, and health care providers in Kansas and the Kansas City metropolitan area to implement and evaluate effective health promotion and disease prevention programs. Focus attention on prevention needs of such vulnerable populations as children, pregnant women, the elderly, the ill, and minorities.

V. EDUCATION
MEDICAL STUDENTS The Department has primary responsibility for teaching medical students about biostatistics, epidemiology, health promotion, disease prevention, practice-based learning and improvement, and population-based approaches to health care delivery. In FY 2007, Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) will no longer exist as a separate course, but rather, will be assimilated into the new, revised, systems-based curriculum. Likewise, Clinical Epidemiology and Prevention (CEP) will be fully assimilated into the new curriculum the following year. Although these courses will no longer exist as separate entities, the current course directors will still be responsible for assuring that the content of these courses is successfully incorporated into the new curriculum. In most cases, the faculty will maintain a comparable level of teaching effort. The courses and their enrollment for 2005 are listed below: REQUIRED MEDICAL SCHOOL COURSES FOR 2005 Number Credit Total Credit Course Name Year of Hours Hours Students Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Year 1 1.5 173 259.5 ICM 801 Drs.

HEALTH PROMOTION AND DISEASE PREVENTION (HPDP)

Director, Kimberly K. Engelman, PhD Co-Directors, Janet Thomas, PhD and Andrea Charbonneau, MD Health Promotion and Disease Prevention is an introduction to clinical preventive medicine with an emphasis on promoting health and preventing illness, disability and premature death, applicable to the clinical practice of medicine and the health of populations. This interdisciplinary course includes concepts from many diverse disciplines but is framed in a public health model. The course is presented in a lecture and clinical correlation format with time for questions and discussion.

16

Health Promotion and Disease Prevention lecture topics range widely, covering a wide variety of health issues important throughout the lifespan. There are lectures covering public health theories and models, environmental health, cultural competency, access to care, injury prevention and infectious disease prevention. Several lectures cover behavioral health determinants such as nicotine addiction, alcohol and substance abuse, nutrition and physical activity. Other lectures address prevention and screening of specific chronic diseases including obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancers and depression. Patient panels are presented in conjunction with several lectures. During patient panels, students have the opportunity to participate in live discussions with guests who come into the class to share their particular health-related experience.

CLINICAL EPIDEMIOLOGY PREVENTION (CEP)

Director, Won S. Choi, MPH, PhD Co-Director, Edward F. Ellerbeck, MD, MPH This course provides an introduction to the interrelationships between epidemiology, biostatistics, preventive medicine and public health, as well as the relevance of these fields to clinical practice, research, and public health policy. The course incorporates clinical research literature into interactive, learning exercises.

HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC (HOP)

Director, Edward F. Ellerbeck, MD, MPH Co-Director, Kimber P. Richter, MPH, PhD This fourth year medical student course is a required four-week clerkship to instruct medical students about population-based approaches to healthcare and the application of epidemiologic principles to clinical decision making. Students learn how to define specific populations, ascertain their healthcare needs, formulate interventions to meet those needs, and evaluate the impact of those interventions. Students acquire these skills through formal lectures and teambased learning exercises on medical insurance, Medicare/Medicaid, quality improvement, and office management. Students devote 50% of their time to a capstone project in which they identify a patient population and study their common health-related characteristics with a view toward ultimately improving the health of that population. Students completed over 30 capstone projects in 2005, covering a variety of population health issues such as 1) surgical infection prevention, 2) quality of care for acute coronary syndromes, 3) improving diabetes care, and 4) role of rural health officers.

MEDICAL STUDENT ELECTIVES IN PREVENTIVE MEDICINE

The Department offers a variety of elective courses for medical students. By far the most popular of these electives is the International Health Course directed by Kimberly Engelman, PhD. Approximately 30 students take this elective each year. Students interested in research or public health will commonly take Special Studies in Community Health in which they can work directly with a faculty member on a specific area of research or public health.

MPH PROGRAM
The mission of the KU-MPH program is to provide teaching, research and service activities that prepare public health practitioners, health care providers, and researchers to develop and apply population-based and individual approaches to maintaining and improving the publics health in the Heartland and the nation. The KU-MPH program is a single graduate program offered through the departments of Preventive Medicine and Public Health in two locations: Kansas City and Wichita, Kansas. In 2003, U.S. News & World Report ranked the KU-MPH program sixth in the nation among all free-standing MPH programs. The MPH program has recently been fully accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) through 2010. Its curriculum is structured around three core functions (assessment, policy development, and assurance), the ten essential services and sixty-eight core competencies of public health. We develop and maintain a complement of faculty that represents excellence in teaching, research and service in the core disciplines of public health and maintain an optimal faculty/student ratio. We recruit public health practitioners in the community to serve as mentors and teachers for students and to bring a community perspective to faculty teaching, research and service. The program offers opportunities for students to pursue in-depth study through quality experiential learning opportunities, including but not limited to the field experiences in core courses and the capstone, as well as in a variety of elective courses. These experiences provide opportunities for students to apply theory to practice, and for mentors to demonstrate public health citizenship, ethics and lifetime learning skills. The faculty promote and model leadership and assist students in applying their training in taking on leadership responsibilities. The MPH program co-sponsors the annual Kansas Public Health Association (KPHA) meeting, and we encourage our students to be active in the KPHA student section. Faculty strongly encourage students to submit results of their projects for presentation at professional meetings, and as a result our students are always represented at the annual KPHA meeting and the annual research forum at KU Medical Center. The program offers a joint degree with the KU School of Nursing (MSN/MPH), a dual degree within the KU School of Medicine (MD/MPH), and a joint MPH/PhD offered in conjunction with the Department of Applied Behavioral Science. The MPH program provides generalist training preparing graduates for careers in health education, public health practice, and population-based health care. Currently the degree requires a minimum of 36 credit hours of instruction. There are 15 required hours of core courses, allocated as three credit hours in each of the following disciplines: biostatistics, environmental health, epidemiology, public health administration, and social and behavioral aspects of public health. In addition, we require all students to complete a one credit hour biostatistics laboratory. Elective sequences total 14 credit hours in core-related knowledge and skill areas. The capstone experience consists of six credit hours, and is a practicum project. The practicum project serves as the demonstration of proficiency in the basic public health knowledge and skill areas, and the ability to integrate concepts from the core elements of the curriculum. In compliance with new CEPH accreditation criteria, the MPH program will begin requiring 42 hours of coursework to complete the degree for newly admitted degree-seeking students in Fall 2007. Over the next 18

year, we will redesign our curriculum using information gathered from educational needs assessments we conducted among students, regional public health stakeholders, and program alumni. Overall enrollment for the MPH program has increased and currently our program is the secondlargest graduate degree-granting program at KUMC School of Medicine, with 102 MPH students and 10 dual-degree students in 2005. Along with combined degree students, the development of new courses has contributed to this increase. In the last five years, the MPH program has graduated a total of 110 students. In CY 2005, 67 new students were accepted into the program. Of those, 47 were degree-seeking and 20 were non-degree seeking students. Following are the course enrollment numbers for the MPH program during 2005.

The MPH program has a strong bi-campus organizational structure. This structure allows us to maintain data systems that we use for strategic planning and program evaluation. Tracking program expenditures, planning and evaluating course curricula, and addressing student and workforce development needs are deliberate and inclusive processes. Faculty and students from both campuses comprise each standing committee and bi-campus faculty meetings are held quarterly. Community stakeholders provide input through an External Advisory Committee. The program directors in Kansas City and Wichita report to the Dean of the School of Medicine in Wichita, Dr. Edwards Dismuke, quarterly and report to the Executive Vice Chancellor and Executive Dean of the School of Medicine, Kansas City, Dr. Barbara Atkinson, annually. The internal organization chart follows.

MS IN CLINICAL RESEARCH
In the fall of 2004, the Department of Preventive Medicine and Public Health implemented a proposal for a new Master of Science in Clinical Research Program and enrolled 4 students into the program. The Master of Science in Clinical Research is designed to promote the development of new clinical researchers, a recognized, critical need for the University. The development of this program was critical to the recent renewal of the K-30 (Clinical Research Curriculum Program). This degree program is also essential to making the institution eligible for the recently released Institutional Clinical and Translational Science Award. The MS in Clinical Research degree requires students to complete a minimum of 33 semester credit hours of study. Students are provided the opportunity to learn how to: effectively design research studies; ensure that ethical standards are met; apply for and acquire funding; collect, manage, and analyze data; and report results. The culminating requirement is a thesis. The focus is on formal training in clinical research with three areas of emphasis: epidemiology, biostatistics, and medical research. The MS plan of study follows: CREDIT HOURS 18 Credit Hours 3 1 3 3 2 3 3 12 Credit Hours

K-30 PROGRAM
The goal of this program is to develop clinician scholars with a strong foundation in patientoriented research principles and methods. It is funded with a five year NIH grant that began September 2000 and a five year renewal received in August 2005. Trainees participate in a fivepart program: a flexible two year, 24 credit hour core curriculum, with three tracks (patient-oriented mechanistic and translational research, clinical epidemiology, and health services research) interactive exposure to nationally recognized experts via the Distinguished Visiting Scholar Series participation in the Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Series a program of research apprenticeship experiences access to core technical resources such as biostatistical consultation, reference files of available mentors, and funding opportunities

The program supports two levels of trainees the novice and the transitional investigator. The program for the novice offers a structured learning process for trainees with demonstrated interest but little training in patient-oriented research. The core of this experience is formal coursework. The program for the transitional investigator provides support for more advanced scholars who need mentoring and specific additional knowledge and skills. Participants have the option of completing a Masters degree (MPH or MS-CR), but this is not required. Overall, the program is designed to increase the number of clinical scholars who receive funding for patientoriented research at both the career development and individual investigator levels.

CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Biostatistics for the Nonstatistician continuing medical education course for physicians, nurses, and other interested participants is held annually. Approximately forty people attend this program each year. Last year, four courses were offered; Introduction to Biostatistics; Introduction to Categorical and Survival Data Analysis; Introduction to Epidemiology; and Introduction to Statistical Computing.

VI. RESEARCH
The primary research focus of the Department has been in cancer prevention and control, strengthened by a close relationship with the Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute. Our cancer-related research addresses smoking cessation, exercise and weight control, health services research (promotion of appropriate cancer screening), and maintenance of the Kansas Cancer Registry. We have two unique laboratories in which we conduct much of this research: the Rural Primary Care Research Network and the Swope Community Health Center (serving a predominately inner-city African American population). Our research work is facilitated by close relationships between our strong qualitative and quantitative research teams working alongside practicing healthcare providers. Our smoking cessation research is being conducted primarily in underserved populations, among inner-city African Americans, American Indians, and rural Kansas residents. Funding for our smoking cessation research programs has come from the NIH, the American Lung Association, 24

and the Cancer Prevention Research Foundation. We have one active R01 grant in this area examining smoking cessation in rural communities. Two smoking-related R01 grants (Ahluwalia, PI) have recently been completed, but one of these will probably be renewed (Cox, PI; 9th percentile score). Our obesity/exercise-related research is not quite as well developed, but we have three junior faculty and a postdoctoral fellow addressing this issue among rural and African American populations and school-aged children. These efforts have been funded through the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association, Pfizer, the Cancer Prevention Research Foundation, and the Sunflower Foundation. These research endeavors would be facilitated by a senior researcher in the Department working in this area. Meanwhile, faculty have worked closely with co-investigators in other areas of the institution and outside consultants. Our cancer-related, health services research program has focused primarily on promotion of mammography and colorectal cancer screening. Mammography-related research has focused on investigating patient satisfaction with mammography services and the impact of mammography facilities on mammography utilization. This research has been funded by the Kansas Foundation for Medical Care, the American Cancer Society, and the Komen Foundation. Colorectal cancer screening research has studied barriers to screening in African American and rural populations and intervention studies are on the verge of being funded. Current support for this research comes from the American Cancer Society (James, PI) and the NIH (Engelman, PI, R21). Other research in the Department addresses cardiovascular health profiles and delivery of cardiovascular services (CDC, Lai, PI), functional status and quality of life measurement in patients with stroke and patients with spine deformities, development of outcome measures for clinical management of stroke patients and patients with spine deformities. An outcome measure (the Stroke Scale) was patented by Lai and others for KUMC. The biostatisticians in the department are well funded through an NIH-funded Biostatistics/Informatics Shared Resource grant (Mayo, PI), and through support of research projects throughout the medical center. The biostatistical and research design efforts are also supported by a [K-25 grant (Hall, PI)]. Demand for biostatistics support in the medical center currently exceeds the Departments ability to respond to this need. Biostatisticians are working almost exclusively on currently funded research projects and time to assist junior faculty with pilot studies or unfunded research projects is limited. Investigators in the Department have been able to obtain funds for pilot projects from three sources: internal department start-up packages, small grants from the KU Research Institute, and the local Sunflower Foundation. Faculty have not been able to secure funds from the Kansas Health Foundation. Research productivity can also be seen from the Departments track record in publications. Peerreviewed publications authored or co-authored by departmental faculty decreased from 63 in 2003 to 58 in 2004, and increased substantially in 2005, with 83 articles either published or inpress.

VI. SERVICE
Faculty members are encouraged to participate in local, regional, and national service activities. For faculty to fulfill their university roles, they must participate in their fields on a national level, but we encourage them at the same time to use their skills to develop projects aiming to improve the health of local and regional populations. Our faculty serve on a number of coalitions, administrative task forces and committees of local and regional agencies and are sought out because of our expertise. Often, these service activities develop into relationships with community sites where our students can complete MPH electives and MPH curriculum requirements, such as the capstone project. Some examples of departmental faculty service activities in 2005 follow (the University of Kansas Medical Center will be referred to as KUMC): Won Sup Choi, PhD, MPH Director, KUMC Master of Public Health Program and the Master of Science in Clinical Research Program Chair, KUMC MPH Program Accreditation Student Section Chair, KUMC MPH Program Curriculum Committee Member, Faculty Council Representative for Department of Preventive Medicine & Public Health Member, Faculty Representative for the Asian American Medical Student Association Member, KUMC MPH Program Capstone Committees Member, KUMC Year 1-2 Oversight Committee, School of Medicine Member, Search Committee for Assistant/Associate Professor in Biostatistics and Associate Professor in Nutrition Member, Wescoe Faculty Academic Society Edward Ellerbeck, MD, MPH Interim Chair, Department of Preventive Medicine & Public Health Assistant Director, KUMC Wahl Society Chair, Planning Committee: The Greater Kansas City Forum on Electronic Health Records.
