Study Methods. The Institute on Human Values in Medicine (IHVM) conducted a variety of activities to support and promote the integration of humanities content into medical school curricula nationally. This study sought to identify, collect and exam original materials related to the organizational structure of the institute to ascertain how it performed its work and assess the outcomes of its activities in order to inform current, related efforts. Data was collected using a mixture of methods typical of an historical study: identification and examination of archival records from the three major library archives associated with the IHVM and several additional relevant sites; unstructured interviews were performed with experts having historical memory of IHVM; semi-­‐structured interviews with subjects directly impacted by IHVM interventions, such as trainees; collection of survey responses from schools receiving IHVM interventions; and the identification and analysis of publications and reports of the IHVM. The data extracted from these various methods and sources was used to understand the organizational structures, leadership and influence of IHVM’s activities on medical schools and legitimizing agencies of American medical education, such as the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME). Workshops focused on utilizing qualitative data for analysis was helpful in creating the interview schedules and analyzing content.110 The data support the predictive hypothetical model proposed in Chapter One.
