IAMSE Web Seminar: "An Accelerated Pathway to Produce 21st Century Primary Care Physicians"

An Accelerated Pathway to Produce 21st Century Primary Care Physicians
Presenters: Tonya Fancher, MD, MPH and Mark Henderson, MD, FACP
October 1, 12 PM ET

There are concerns that the current medical education structure and processes are inefficient and do not adequately prepare our students to function in our evolving healthcare systems. New educational models significantly modify the historic 2 + 2 time-based framework of UME. However, challenges will arise in implementing these new models. What will the impact be on accreditation processes, student selection for and matriculation into residency, and eligibility for licensure and board certification? The panelists will discuss the current controversies that arise in relation to the transformation of the educational program and provide an update on the Accelerated Competency-based Education in Primary Care (ACE-PC) at the University of California, Davis - a 6 year UME-GME pathway for students interested in primary care careers.
