If I Had a Clean Slate ... New Medical School Curricula

Fall 2009 IAMSE Web Seminar Series:


We read the journals and listen to the seminars about exciting new paths for medical education in the 21st century, and then face the reality of time, money, space and intransigence. What would I do if I had a clean slate?

This seminar series will provide an overview of contemporary possibilities and then focus on some of the ways five new medical schools from around the world faced the opportunities and challenges of developing their curricula. They incorporated the latest approaches in simulation and virtual-patient teaching, integrative learning, early and continued patient contact, and even restructured the way faculty are appointed to departments! Each medical school has its own approaches and limitations, yet there are common goals from which we can all learn. This webcast series will highlight new educational approaches in medical education and practical experiences for their implementation. All Sessions are 1 hour in length and start at 1:00 pm Eastern
