The quotes below are about this issue:
Respondents suggest curricular improvements such as more coursework on patient communication (including critical conversations before clinical and interwoven with clinical practice), gerontology, molecular, ICD-10 coding, professionalism, using simulations, and project management.
| "Again, they're lacking experience. Sometimes it would be helpful if—you know, we do so much in the hospital environment with process improvement, and I don't know if there's a way to incorporate some of those tools? And new technologies in the laboratory—molecular is exploding, and they're not coming with a very strong molecular background. But it's such a changing science, I don't have the answer for how we would incorporate that..." | Metro |
| "The big rock-your-socks-off change is in medical coding and billing. That's going to happen when we go to ICD-10. And that's never thought of in the health care sector, but we have people at the clinic sites and other areas who have to understand this, so that it gets billed and coded correctly. It's going to be a big deal. Question: Is that something that the training, whether it's MnSCU or somebody else, could be built into the curriculum? Employer: They're starting to build it in. But my point is that things are going to happen fast, so it can't be a build-it-one-time model because, a year from now, you're going to have to build it again. It's a flexibility that adjusts to the ever-changing environment." |

| "Give them some skills in project management that can be applied to changes that are happening in our world. So, basic project management skills would help, and then some foundation type of leadership skills." | Metro |
| "Two key areas I think would be helpful if we could teach them would be skills of quality or process improvement—things like having them understand how to understand metrics of where they are today, and where they want to go. Not only in lab from a process perspective, but even from understanding how you improve care and understand outcomes. I don't see a lot of understanding on how to set these kinds of measurements and metrics." | Metro |
