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…
Ten Questions to Guide Learners Seeking Equitable Global Health Experiences Abroad
“Global health experiences,” clinical and research learning opportunities where learners from high-income country (HIC) institutions travel to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), are becoming increasingly popular and prolific in the health sciences. Increased interest has been well documented among medical, pharmacy, and nursing learners who are driving these agendas at their institutions. Although such opportunities have potential to mutua…
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy among non-refugees and refugees in Kenya
Factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy (which we define as refusal to be vaccinated when asked, resulting in delayed or non- vaccination) are poorly studied in sub-Saharan Africa and among refugees, particularly in Kenya. Using survey data from wave five (March to June 2021) of the Kenya Rapid Response Phone Survey (RRPS), a household survey representative of the population of Kenya, we estimated the self-reported rates and factors as…
Resuscitating the Socratic Method
PURPOSE: Teaching by way of asking questions is a time-honored practice that has taken on the negative connotation of "pimping" among medical students and has made some faculty hesitant to ask students questions during clerkship rotations. Yet, quantitative studies exploring student perspectives on this practice are limited. This study aimed to solicit student and faculty views and investigate faculty perceptions of students' preferences. METHOD:…
University of Michigan Medical School
Medical Education Program Highlights The University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) was founded in 1850. For much of its existence, the curriculum followed a traditional Flexnerian model. Over time, the preclinical curriculum shortened, and the clinical curriculum lengthened. In 2016, the curricular structure inverted. A 17 + 12 + 12-month model transitioned to a 12 + 12 + 17-month model to provide a robust integrated foundation with early clin…

Association of Perceived Medical Errors With Resident Distress and Empathy
CONTEXT: Medical errors are associated with feelings of distress in physicians, but little is known about the magnitude and direction of these associations. OBJECTIVE: To assess the frequency of self-perceived medical errors among resident physicians and to determine the association of self-perceived medical errors with resident quality of life, burnout, depression, and empathy using validated metrics. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Prospecti…
