We are currently recruiting volunteer health professional students for the 2019-2020 UW Student Hotspotting Program.

“Hotspotting” is an inter-professional, collaborative process of identifying high utilizers in our healthcare system and working closely with them to better address patient needs with the goals of improving quality of care and reducing costs. This famous 2011 New Yorker piece and video by Frontline illustrate the origin and concept of “hotspotting” and are a must-read/watch for any health professional student.

The UW Student Hotspotting Team is made up of around 6 health professional students and guided by Alexandra Molnar, M.D. (UWMC, HMC, UWSOM). Each year, the Hotspotting team identifies and enrolls “high utilizer” patients from within our UW Medicine system who are likely to benefit from additional support. Throughout the program, students will have the opportunity to attend patient appointments, make home visits, interact with providers, and ultimately discover creative solutions to individual patient needs. Hotspotting is a rewarding program that allows students to see first-hand the barriers that our patients face despite having phenomenal providers involved in their care.

If you are interested in learning more about the program, some of the 2018-2019 team members will be hosting an informational session on Wednesday February 5th, 2020 from 2:30pm-3:20pm in HSE E-216. If you are interested but unable to attend the info session, please email us (see below) so that we can follow up with you individually.

We are recruiting for the 2019-2020 team and are looking for students from the following programs: medicine, nursing, social work, nutrition, nurse practitioner, pharmacy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. The program typically runs 8-9 months, from ~July/August through the following March.

Thanks and hope to see you at our meeting!
