Community and Academic Physicians Working Together in Integrated Health Care Systems.

Objective: To examine best practices and policies for effectively merging community and academic physicians in integrated health care systems.

Methods: Deans of US allopathic medical schools were systematically interviewed between February and June 2017 regarding growth in their faculty practice plan (FPP), including logistics and best practices for integration of community physicians.

Results: The survey was completed by 107 of 143 (74.

Putting students at the center: moving beyond time-variable one-size-fits-all medical education to true individualization.

Medical education has undergone a wave of creative innovation over the last decade, with new curricular structures, pedagogy, content, and team-based approaches. Augmenting these changes, integration of clinical and scientific principles increasingly occurs across all years of training. Given success in innovation and integration, as well as recent interest and national pilots in time-variable (competency-based) education, we propose the next important step in medical education evolution is individualization.

Comprehensive history of 3-year and accelerated US medical school programs: a century in review.

Within the context of major medical education curricular reform ongoing in the United States, a subset of schools has re-initiated accelerated (3-year) medical education. It would be helpful for education leaders to pause and consider historical reasons such accelerated medical schools were started, and then abandoned, over the last century to proactively address important issues. As no comprehensive historical review of 3-year medical education exists, we examined all articles published on this topic since 1900.

Time-variable medical education innovation in context.

Background: Medical education is undergoing robust curricular reform with several innovative models emerging. In this study, we examined current trends in 3-year Doctor of Medicine (MD) education and place these programs in context.

Methods: A survey was conducted among Deans of U.

EDUCATE TO TRANSFORM: THE ART OF DEVELOPING CURIOUS MINDS.

With rapid changes in health care and academic medicine, deans and medical educators need to carefully optimize medical education in order to best prepare our students for the future. Fundamentally, it is critical that future medical practitioners develop curious minds that look beyond the obvious to ask questions not yet asked and glean reality. This paper summarizes optimal adult learning, including (for example) concepts such as deliberate practice, active and interactive learning, and the flipped classroom.
