What do we want?
Doctors
• In the right numbers (supply)
• In the right places (maldistribution)
• In the right specialties (overspecialization)
Safer care
More effective care
More patient centered care (“nothing about me without me”)
More teamwork4
Pop Quiz: How do we get the doctors we need?
A. True or False: Educate the smartest students (MCAT and grades) and they will have all the skills needed
B. True of False: Educate students in the best universities and they will become the doctors we need.
C. True or False: Medical schools routinely follow best practices in adult education techniques, with “no hidden curriculum”
D. True or False: Allowing market forces to determine specialty choice ensures the right specialty mix
E. True or False: Current payment policies favor a correct mix of physician specialties

Results
“Good doctors, trained and rewarded for doing too many of the wrong things in the wrong places in the wrong system, unsafely”
•
Anonymous
• Keep the good doctors
• Change the healthcare system and it’s reward system
• Address payment system
• Triple aim (better quality, better experience, lower cost)
• Build an education system for the future6
Start with the end in mind (a few examples)
What would a perfect medical education system look like?
• All students have clear motivation for becoming a physician
• All interested students have a shot at becoming a physician
• Students (doctors) are representative of all aspects of society
• The admissions process rewards character as well as intellect and test taking
• Students would not be subjected to a “hidden curriculum” re: career choice
• Curriculum would match what is needed for practice
• Medical specialty mix would match societal need
• Patients would not be disadvantaged by income or geography

What now? The “new Flexner report”Cooke et al. Educating Physicians: A call for reform of medical school and residency 2010
Goals Challenges Recommendations
Standardization and Individualization
Medical education is: • Not outcomes based• Inflexible• Excessively long• Not learner centered
• Standardize through competency based assessment
• Individualize learning• Support development of skills for
inquiry and self improvement
Integration Poor • connections between formal
knowledge and experiential learning• understanding of patient experience• understanding of nonclinical and
civic role of MD
• Early clinical experience• Time for reflection and study• Integrate basic, clinical, social sci• Comprehensive focus on patient
experience(incl longitudinal connection)• Experience broader MD roles • Interprofessional and teamwork exper
Habits of Inquiry and improvement
• Focused on todays skills/knowledge, not long term excellence
• Inadequate attention to populations, practice based learning/improvement
• Insufficient participation in improvement activities
• Prepare for routine and adaptive expertise
• Engage learners authentically• Population health, QI and pt safety exp• Locate in many settings of quality care
delivery not only Univ teaching hosp
Professional formation • Failure to assess, and advance professional behaviors
• Inadequate expectations for progressive involvement
• Erosion of professional values due to pace and commercialization
• Formal ethics instruction• Address hidden curriculum• Longitudinal mentoring/advising• Promote relationships with faculty• Collaborative learning environments
