Collaborative Outpatient Residency Education (CORE) Cases
CORE Case overview
CORE Case overview
CORE Cases are case-based, learner-led small group learning sessions during the first month of residency that cover 5 important primary care outpatient topics: adult preventive health, pediatric/adolescent preventive health, hypertension/hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and asthma/COPD. The CORE cases use a flipped classroom approach where residents will receive questions and objectives for each topic prior to the session, research the answers to the questions, and come prepared to teach each other the material at the learning session. It is expected that the pre-work will take about 30-60 minutes to complete. There will be a faculty facilitator who will help to guide the sessions and may provide clinical context but will not provide answers to the questions/objectives. Two CORE cases (preventive health) will occur during the 2-week R1 clinic community orientation and the other three will occur during the first month of R1 seminars.

As a reminder, you should not ask the faculty facilitator question to help you answer the questions/objectives. Collectively you will be able to find the correct answers as a group and can look up additional information if needed. The facilitators may guide you in the right direction if needed and will provide clinical context where appropriate.
