Zusammenfassung:In this analysis, we describe medical student interest in and knowledge of health systems science (HSS) during the launching of a new curriculum. We surveyed first year students (MS1s) before and after exposure to a new HSS curriculum. MS1s demonstrated a 16% increase in HSS knowledge post-curriculum. Interest in HSS was high in MS1s before (90%) and after (88%) the curriculum when compared to MS3s (72%). The implementation of a longitudinal HSS curriculum may increase knowledge and maintain interest in the subject.
