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 (Clobes, 2022). 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.
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.
