Times are Changing: Evolution and Revolution in Medical Education
We begin our 11th year of IAMSE faculty development webcast seminars
with a discussion of the contemporary changes in health professions
education. Things are different from "when we were in school". No
kidding!
Professors teach differently. Our curricula are likely to be more
integrated and in an applied context. Our role as a content expert may
diminish as we become facilitators of learning and application of
science in medicine. This poses challenges as teachers and education
administrators. Drs. Carroll and Standley will explore these changing
roles.
Students learn differently. While we learned in a linear,
building-block fashion the millennial learner may follow a non-linear,
asynchronous route to understanding. Drs. Roberts and Pelley will help
us understand their learning needs and processes, and how our teaching
can transform them.
Learning may be assessed differently. "Classical" exams are great for
assessing factual knowledge but novel methods can require higher-order
thinking and application. Drs. Brenner; Ginzburg and Metzger will
explore new approaches that may be more appropriate for the
patient-care world for which are students are being prepared.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Students still
are motivated to learn their profession, faculty members are still
motivated to facilitate learning efficiently, and schools are still
motivated to use resources appropriately. Just differently.
Starting September 6th
