We Have No Choice but to Transform
The Future of Medical Education After the Covid-19 Pandemic
Bibliographic Data
Medical education exists to prepare the physician workforce that our nation needs, but the COVID-19 pandemic threatened to disrupt that mission. Likewise, the national increase in awareness of social justice gaps in our country pointed out significant gaps in health care, medicine, and our medical education ecosystem. Crises in all industries often present leaders with no choice but to transform—or to fail. In this perspective, the authors suggest that medical education is at such an inflection point and propose a transformational vision of the medical education ecosystem, followed by a 10-year, 10-point plan that focuses on building the workforce that will achieve that vision. Broad themes include adopting a national vision; enhancing medicine’s role in social justice through broadened curricula and a focus on communities; establishing equity in learning and processes related to learning, including wellness in learners, as a baseline; and realizing the promise of competency-based, time-variable training. Ultimately, 2020 can be viewed as a strategic inflection point in medical education if those who lead and regulate it analyze and apply lessons learned from the pandemic and its associated syndemics
