DEPARTMENT CHAIR - 2015-2016 IN REVIEW

_____________________________________________________________________________

Our community involvement has substantially increased with the hiring of additional physicians and advance practice

providers (APPs) to augment the care provided in the HCMC network of neighborhood clinics. We now have a total of 74

MD and APP providers working within the department at 6 clinics scattered throughout metro Hennepin County.

Within the Family Medicine Residency Program, we said goodbye our PCBH psychologist James Anderson, PhD, and

hello to Marchion Hinton, PhD. All of our Core Teaching Faculty have completed the U of MN Faculty Development

Fellowship and several Faculty members and residents presented at the National STFM meeting held in Minneapolis in

May. Chandra Cherukuri will be starting as a teaching faculty member in early August. Chandra is a 2014 graduate of the

HCMC FM Residency program and has spent the last two years in geriatric and sleep fellowships. Our residency program

recruitment has been successful yet again and a full complement of residents started their training this past June.

At Whittier Clinic, the APT program has completed its move to Whittier from East Lake Clinic to be closer to their

patient base and more actively involve residents in the unique care model it provides. We continue to expand the services

we provide to our patients. Cardiology, General Surgery, OB-GYN, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Podiatry, Psychology,

Pediatrics, Lactation Education and Hand Therapy all have a presence at Whittier. We model ourselves as a place where

our patients can obtain as many of their health care services as possible. This is only possible through the generous

support of the HCMC departments that send specialty care providers to practice here.

I would like to thank all that have made the past year an exciting one, as we say goodbye to old friends and hello to new

ones. We look forward to the coming year, as we offer outstanding services to our patients, a rewarding education to our

residents and interesting challenges to our providers.

LETTER FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR

I am pleased to share with you the Annual Report of the Department of Family Medicine at Hennepin County Medical

Center. The report is a summary of our activities and accomplishments from July 1, 2015 to June 30,2016. We are

pleased to continue to build on our reputation of excellent clinical training, community involvement and advocacy, quality

and safety training and developing leaders for Family Medicine.

Our residents have the privilege of providing comprehensive care for the most vulnerable of our patients at Whittier

Clinic, a certified Minnesota Health Care Home. There they participate in creating a culture of health for all patients in

their care. They participate in LEAN based Quality Improvement methodologies ; provide population care through their

use of patient registries ; participate in a group model of care in Centering Pregnancy and work with interdisciplinary

teams in complex care clinics for adults and adolescents. This year our educational development focused on

implementing structured curricula in these areas.

Our PGY3 residents continued to work with underserved populations both locally and internationally with groups pf

residents travelling to the Phillipines, Thailand and Tanzania. Residents developed confidence in putting their many

skills as family doctors to work in these resource poor areas. Each returned with an renewed dedication to their specialty

and a commitment to bettering health care for people everywhere.

Both our residents and faculty participated in the Society of Family Medicine’s Annual Educational Conference which

was held in Minneapolis in May of this year. 7 residents presented posters and 11 faculty presented scholarly roundtables,

research seminars, lecture discussions or posters. The residency program also sponsored the Fun Run (also known as the

Marathonaki) which was held in downtoen Minneapolis and scenic Loring Park.

At the end of the academic year, the HCMC Family Medicine and Whittier family were deeply saddened by the sudden

death of our beloved Dr Masha Hemmati. He was a core faculty member who worked with residents in the nursing home,

the clinic and in the hospital -both on the Family Medicine Service and on Labor and Delivery. Dr Hemmati will forever

be remembered for his work ethic, his humor; his dedication to the profession of medicine; his courage in the face of

adversity and his advocacy for his residents Most of all, he is remembered for his fierce commitment to his beloved wife

and son. In his own words. “To Allah we belong and to him we return.” Rest well dear friend and colleague.

Dedicated to our beloved Dr. Masha Hemmati

1955-2016

Dr. Mashallah Hemmati was a Family Physician here at HCMC, joining the department as a resident in 2001. After graduating from the residency program in 2004, he worked at Richfield Clinic and later moved to FMC and Whittier. While maintaining a busy primary care practice, he also took an active role in teaching residents at the hospital, at a local Nursing Home, and in the clinic, with special expertise in minor surgery and urologic issues. Dr Hemmati died of natural causes in June 2016. He is survived by his beloved wife Miriam and his son, Pouja.

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us, what we have done for others and the world remains….. immortal. Albert Pike

RECRUITMENT:

Outcomes:

33% of the class of 2019 have a tie to Minnesota

Class of 2016 - -3 (27%) took jobs in Minnesota

100% boards pass rate since 2013

Classes of 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are all racially and ethnically diverse

42 % of the interns who entered in 2016 are graduates from US allopathic or osteopathic

schools

The recruitment Committee led by Dr. Susan Hasti will continue its effort to recruit the

candidates who “best fit” our mission, vision and goals. Recruitment efforts are focused

at the National Conference held in Kansas City every year and the Family Medicine

Midwest Conference.

CURRICULUM HIGHLIGHTS

Recruitment was a high priority again for the academic

year. Sustaining program quality and obtaining successful

program outcomes depends in part on the quality of our

residents. The Recruitment committee maintained the same

goals for the 2015-2016 applicant season:

recruit highly qualified applicants,

increase the % of US grads,

restore the gender balance ( has been weighted

toward male),

increase the number of residents who remain to

practice in Minnesota,

and maintain racial and ethnic diversity in our

program as befits our diverse patient population

Centering pregnancy curriculum Staring in the spring of 2013, residents

participated in the existing Centering Pregnancy

groups. PGY2 residents are assigned to each

centering group. In the upcoming academic year

the Centering pregnancy faculty will deploy a

curriculum that prepares residents for skills that

they need to facilitate and implement group

visits based on the Centering model. Faculty

leaders are Michelle Karsten and Susan Hasti.

RESIDENT TRAINING AND EVALUATION IN THE SIMULATION CENTER –

We had our firs simulation Chief this year,. Ben Krage One of the Chief residents

together with Drs Michelle Karsten and Kim Petersen developed a unique curriculum

for Family medicine Residents to be deployed in the Simulation center. Residents have

Sim training every time there is a 5th Wednesday in the month. Our faculty serve as their

preceptors with help from the Educational team in the HCMC Sim Center .

POPULATION HEALTH

12

The Community and Population Health Education Committee was formed this

academic year and has been hard at work creating a population health framework that

spans the three training years of residency. The curriculum prepares residents to provide

total health care for all patients whether they are seen in the clinic- the Patient Centered

Medical home; the community in the Community Centered Neighborhood or whether

they are part of the global population. Four themes are embedded in each rotation that

informs population and Community health. They are Health; Patient Centered

Centeredness, Team skills, Scholarly projects.

Health Equity Leaderhsip

Third year residents participate in a capstone curriculum called Baraza. As part of the

Leadership Curriculum, the class has been learning about Advocacy as a tool to

empower our communities and stimulate changes in policies and laws to benefit

underserved population. Advocacy is empathy at work. Residents together with Dr

Svetaz supported the Hennepin County Policy Deparment in a bill to provide

preventative care services to undocumented minors. Residents visited the legislature to

lobby memebers of both houses to support the bill.

International Medicine rotations

Many physicians are interested in providing medical care to people of other countries and

other cultures. The HCMC Residency program is committed to creating opportunities for

international experiences for interested residents and faculty to serve in resource poor,

underserved areas of the world. Our ONE WORLD, ONE HEALTH perspective seeks to

create a passion in our residents for service in underserviced areas through medcial

missions. Through these medical missions, our hope is that we engender in our residents

a responsibility for the health of people not only in our neighborhoods, but the health of

all underserved. Ingrid Wong and Trevor Chan anticipate an extraordinary opportunity in

the Philippines, and Suchithra Narayan is planning a rotation in Chang Mai,Thailand.

The international rotation was remarkable because it incorporated something that we had always wanted to do. To give back to the underserved was not only a privilege but also an unique educational experience in a third world country where there is a lack of medical care. We were able to utilize our practical, broad based family medicine skills to not only educate patients and better their health, but also utilize our procedural skills to provide in a sense, a cure to ailments that disfigured the patients.

Minnesota Department of Health to increase the size of the resident class. The

money received will fund the training of two residents who entered in 2016 and will

graduate in 2019. The grant is an incentive to address the projected deficit of

Primary care physicians in Minnesota.

17

CENTER FOR HEALTH EQUITY LEADERSHIP (CHEL) The Center is conjoint effort among Aqui Para Ti, the Department of Family and

Community Medicine, and the Family Medicine Residency Program. The Center, which

resides in the Department of Family Medicine at Hennepin County Medical Center, has

as its core the achievement of the Aqui Para Ti (“Here for You”) Program, a model

program of integrative care.

CHEL accomplishments

• Created, with a team of 3rd year Family Medicine Residents and Public Health Students,

a White Paper on Equity, used to support 2016 HCMC’s advocacy efforts to expand

Preventive Care access to undocumented families living in MN.

• Prepared a one day Policy Summit, where residents lived advocacy, talking and sharing

that White paper on Equity with MN Legislators.

• Worked with the State Legislature, testifying 3 times at our MN State Legislation, to

pass Health Home model of care and reimbursement as a MN approved model, using

Aqui Para Ti results.

• Helped pass an amendment assuring that Health Home models are used intentionally to

help to remove Health inequities in Minnesota .

Aqui Para Ti accomplishments in 2015-2016

This year was marked by a great transformation at APT. The clinic was moved to

Whittier Clinic to be:

in closer contact with our residents,

for our youth and families to have more access to services, and

to bring more cultural concordance to the largest HCMC clinic serving Latino

families.

DISTINGUISHED ALUMNUS

Thomas H. Bracken M.D. - Minnesota Family Doctor of the year 2015

Year of Graduation: 1982

Why I came to HCMC: I chose HCMC because I knew I would be able to truly care for patients

with a variety of conditions including acute trauma and serious illness; with most residents

spending most of their time at HCMC there is an unusual level of support amongst residents of

different specialties. I have been precepting at the HCMC Family Medicine Residency since

1984.

Influential moment and inspirational person: I had the privilege of having Dr. Harley Racer as

a staff preceptor during residency and then teaching alongside him for another 25 years after

graduation. He taught all of us to look beyond the disease to the entire person, and then beyond

the person to the family, and even beyond that to the community. His spirit remains in the many

faculty that follow his example at HCMC's Family Medicine Residency....

What I am proud of: I am proud to work at two institutions that value persons, at any level of

employment or illness, more than economic goals or statistics; HCMC and Mille Lacs Health

System.

Where I practice now: I am now VP of Medical Affairs, but mostly just a regular Family

Physician, at Mille Lacs Health System in Onamia, Minnesota. We have managed to survive the

difficulties of rural medicine and stay independent of the larger systems that are gobbling up

many rural practices. We have grown from two clinics to five, and offer the full spectrum of

Family Medicine to an over 400 square mile area.

What I do outside medicine: The best thing I do is enjoy my three grandkids, who are even

more fun than my four daughters. I go twice a year to Haiti to help staff our Mille Lacs Health

System rural health project, "Santo Clinic"; I am busy with music at our church; enjoy wilderness

canoeing in Canada.

What is best about Minneapolis: Of course, my three grandkids. I also enjoy the jazz clubs,

Guthrie Theater, and the fantastic restaurants on Eat Street right by Whittier Clinic.

I can't believe it has been 5 years since completion of residency, time flies. I am doing great here.

I am currently at Duke Primary Care - Wavery Place in Cary, NC. It’s alot of bread and butter

primary care - DM, HTN, Lipids, Afib, CHF, CAD, gyn and pediatrics. I am also the only one

who does procedures at the office so its fun. I do IUDs, Implanons, toenails, lacerations, I&Ds,

joint injections. I also teach NP and PA students. It’s truly amazing, how much I learned from

our GREAT residency program. You and the rest of the staff should be very proud of having an

excellent program, that makes you ready for success on Day 1 after completion of residency.

Sharath Reninguntula MD Class of 2014

My family is doing well. I would love to speak with the residents if I am back in

Minneapolis. One of the aspects about Family Medicine and my training at HCMC was that I was

able to work as 1. Primary care physician 2. Hospitalist 3. Now I'll be starting work as an ER

physician as well. Which other specialty allows one to be able to work in such various positions?

Of course, I could do OB as well, but I hope to never have to do another delivery.
