Description
Tracey Carr and co-authors evaluate a student training initiative called HEART, in a 2026 paper. The program teaches undergraduates health research skills inside a person-centered learning health system. Students gather patient experience data, sum it up, and turn it into advice for health directors. A pilot cohort of twenty-eight students finished the program in the 2023/2024 school year.
Interviews with students and health directors shaped the evaluation. Students called the program a strong learning experience that built real research skills. They also said it deepened their grasp of patient experience. Directors praised the student data for spotting service gaps and backing community engagement. One clinic showed measurable care gains from the work. Suggested fixes covered training length, clearer timelines, and simpler final reports.
