Reimagining the Medical School Accreditation Process in a Rapidly Changing Health Care Environment
Health care is changing rapidly due to advances in biomedical science and technology, as well as an expanding body of medical knowledge. This transformation necessitates a reevaluation of medical education models. The medical school accreditation process, administered through the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) for MD-granting schools in the United States and Canada, plays a crucial role in maintaining educational standards. However…
Machine Learning: The Next Paradigm Shift in Medical Education
Machine learning (ML) algorithms are powerful prediction tools with immense potential in the clinical setting. There are a number of existing clinical tools that use ML, and many more are in development. Physicians are important stakeholders in the health care system, but most are not equipped to make informed decisions regarding deployment and application of ML technologies in patient care. It is of paramount importance that ML concepts are inte…
Innovation in Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted all aspects of academic medical center missions. The number and rapidity of innovative responses to the crisis are extraordinary. When the pandemic has subsided, the world of academic medicine will have changed. The author of this Invited Commentary anticipates that at least some of these innovations will become part of academic medicine’s everyday clinical and educational operations. Here, he considers the imp…
Evaluation of a minimal-contact smoking cessation intervention in an outpatient setting
We examined the ability of a provider-initiated, minimal-contact intervention to modify the smoking behavior of ambulatory clinic patients. Smokers at two outpatient sites were assigned to one of three groups: provider intervention only (PI); provider intervention plus self-help manual (PI/M); and usual care (control) group (C). The physician message emphasized the patient's personal susceptibility, the physician's concern, and the patient's abil…
Changing Orientations of Medical Students to Patients' Care: Biomedical versus Biopsychosocial Models
The instructional effectiveness of a new biopsychosocial medicine curriculum model was evaluated using criterion-based measures of medical students' patient-history taking. Students ( n = 63) who received the new biopsychosocial curriculum were significantly more skilled in identifying, documenting and translating patients' psychosocial data and predisposing risk, factors than students ( n = 56) receiving the prior biomedical, disease-oriented cu…
