In this talk I aim to ……
• Reflect on medical education when I was in medical school
• Contrast my experience with our current educational program
• Think about medical education of the future• Provide a few ideas for innovations in hopes that
they will stimulate you to --• Develop your own ideas and help put them into
practice working through your Academy

TIME MAGAZINEJuly 16, 1951
Korean War continues
Harry Truman was President
Will there be a polio epidemic in 1951? The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis said the U.S. must raise its idea of “normal” polio incidence from about 10,000 a year to perhaps 30,000”. (Actually 28,000 new cases were reported.)

Medical Education 50 Years Ago and Now
Then
• Lectures all morning , six days a week
• Laboratories all afternoon , (only 4 days a week) including “dog labs” as well as anatomy, biochemistry and others
• No clinical experiences until physical diagnosis at end of 2nd year
Now• Fewer lectures – streaming!• Fewer laboratories• Clinical approach to basic
sciences• Several small group sessions• Problem-based learning• Team based learning• Introduction to Clinical
Medicine
![Page 22: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Medical Education 50 Years Ago and Now
THEN• Long clinical rotations
filling 3rd and 4th years (e.g. 5 months of Medicine in the 3rd year
• More direct hands-on experiences such as first assistant at surgeries
• No electives• Summer vacations
NOW• Evidence based medicine• Standardized patients and
simulations• Scholarly concentrations• Emphasis on competence • Shorter required clinical
rotations• Many electives including
one in 3rd year
![Page 23: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“New Flexner Report” 101 Years Later General Recommendations
1. Standardize learning outcomes but individualize processes
2. Provide early clinical immersion and later revisiting of the basic sciences
3. Develop habits of inquiry and self-improvement4. Address professional identity formation
explicitly (Cooke, Irby and O’Brien)
![Page 24: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some Possible Ways for the Academy to Support Expanded and
New Educational Efforts
PARTICIPATION IN ONGOING EFFORTS Curriculum Integration
A. Students are the only ones who know our educational program in detail. Develop a presentation to inform faculty about the content of our curriculum
B. Curriculum mapping (see Len Cleary) C. Fostering interactions between pre- clerkship courses and clinical years
![Page 25: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Participation in Ongoing Efforts (cont.)
Support scholarly concentrations. Increase the number of them; assist the faculty in developing appropriate learning objectives.
Develop a scholarly concentration in medical education. (MU)
Provide your own ideas about how you can support these ongoing educational efforts
![Page 26: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DEVELOP BRAND NEW INITIATIVES
“Every really new idea looks crazy at first” Alfred North Whitehead
_______________________________________ Develop a longitudinal clinical experience
throughout the four years . For example students follow a family from matriculation until graduation
![Page 27: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Innovations (continued)
Imagine (and implement) an educational program with no or few lectures(JMcM)
Encourage students to develop pathophysiology learning modules centered on real patient problems(JMcM)
![Page 28: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Innovations (continued)
• Following the lead of other medical schools
develop 4 to 8 student academic societies to provide a smaller community where everyone feels heard. These societies could provide academic and personal advising, career planning and a social unit.
![Page 29: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Innovations (continued)
Evaluate and improve the teaching of evidence-based care :Determine and assure the appropriate use of the electronic medical record by studentsAssess the educational advantages and disadvantages of computerized decision support systems
![Page 30: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Innovations (continued)
Define and explore the role of “critical thinking’ in medical education
It’s a hot topic in medical education and is the has been a topic of a recent Millenium Conference sponsored by the AAMC and the Shapiro Institute in Boston
One Definition: “Doctors thinking about how doctors think using the formal approaches of logic”
![Page 31: Changes in Medical Education -- 50 Years Ago, Today and Tomorrow](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568162db550346895dd363c0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Innovations(concluded for now)
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Develop and share your own ideas.
HINT “The best way to have a good idea is to have a
lot of ideas and throw the bad ones away” --Linus Pauling

What next?
Join with other members of the Academy to share your ideas and develop ways to implement them.
Contact Margaret Uthman who chairs the Development Committee or Gary Rosenfeld our President to find out how the Academy can help implement your ideas.
