Educational Journal Club
Albanese M, Mejicano G, and Gruppen L. Competency-based medical education: A defense against the four horsemen of the medical education apocalypse. Academic Medicine, 83, 1132 – 1139.
The authors describe unprecedented challenges to medical education that they characterize as the four horsemen of the medical education apocalypse: teaching patient shortages, teacher shortages, conflicting systems, and financial problems. They describe a worst-case scenario of what medical will be like. Is medical education at Ohio State vulnerable to these challenges? The authors provide some possible solutions (implementing a competency-based curriculum being one) – which solutions are the most/least acceptable? How will medical education at Ohio State “reinvent” itself in the face of these challenges? This article is available through the E-Journals on the Prior Health Sciences Web Site (use this link if you are off campus).
