Re: Educating Physicians: A Call for Reform of Medical School and Residency #2

Some blog followers might be interested in a recent post of the above title [Hake (2010)]. The abstract reads:


*********************************************

ABSTRACT: Cooke, Irby, & O'Brien (2010) in Educating Physicians: A Call for Reform of Medical School and Residency wrote: "In 1910, Abraham Flexner articulated the current blueprint for medical education in North America. . . . . . . . .

Yet during the past century, along with enormous societal changes, the practice of medicine and its scientific, pharmacological and technological foundations have been transformed. Now medical education in the United States is at a crossroads: those who teach medical students and residents must choose whether to continue in the direction established over a hundred years ago or to take a fundamentally different course, guided by contemporary innovation and new understanding about how people learn. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In our review and observation of medical education, we were as well influenced by research in the learning sciences and medical education. Much of this research has been distilled in How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 1999) for the National Academy of Sciences."
