CHANGES IN MEDICAL EDUCATION

Introduction

Throughout the ages there have been many landmark studies, reports and events that have changed the course of history in medicine and medical education. You will read this week that it was the Flexner Report (1910) that reformed medical education and brought it to where it is today (Young & Kroth, 2018). This report was the catalyst that pushed for legislation requiring physicians to be licensed. The report called for formalizing medical education and increasing the length of time in structured, formal medical programs. This report has influenced medical education and licensing for all of the many different types of clinical, technical, and administrative health care disciplines of today.

Scenario

Imagine you are a medical apprentice in the 1800s. Envision your medical training during this era under the apprenticeship model. Jump to 1960s and envision your training under the academic model. Finally, think of what your medical school training might look like today.

Of particular interest for today’s training are the many technology innovations for learning in medical schools, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), robotic-assisted surgery, and minimally or noninvasive procedure technologies. Today’s training features remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telemedicine through a virtual model of care (VMC), as well as learning to use the human genome for more accurate diagnosing and patient-specific treatments.

Instructions

Using the Changes in Medical Education Template [DOC], write a 3–4 page paper to analyze the scope of change in medical education from the 1800s to today, the apprenticeship and academic models, and the importance of understanding the history in order to help improve medical education in the future. Be sure to complete all parts of the template. 

Do the following:

1. Research the history of medical education from the 1800s, 1960s, early 2000s, and today. Use the History of Health Care Research tab in the Health Care Administration Undergraduate Library Research Guide to guide your research process.
   • You will need to include four references in your paper, one of which can be your textbook.
   • Use the course resources provided for the remaining references, or locate your own resources.

3. In The Changing Scope of Medical Education section of the assignment template, analyze the scope of the changes in medical education from the 1800s to today.
   • How widespread are the newer technologies impacting medical training?
   • Have there been mandated changes or have there been cultural changes that have impacted medical education?
4. In the Apprenticeship Model vs. Academic Model section of the assignment template, compare and contrast the apprenticeship and academic models of medical education in the 1800s, 1960s, 2000s, and today.
   • Describe the apprenticeship model and the academic model.
   • Compare and contrast the similarities and differences in their features.
   • Analyze how the models have evolved over time and the impact the evolution of these models has had on the quality of patient care.
5. In the Importance of Understanding History of Medicine section of the assignment template, explain the importance of understanding the history of medical education in order to help improve medical education in the future.
6. Write a conclusion to your paper in which you summarize the main themes you addressed.
7. Cite all the resources you used in your paper in APA format. Refer to Evidence and APA in the Capella Writing Center for help with using APA style.
