perspective competency based Medical Education a defense against the four horsemen of the Medical Education apocalypse
Academic Medicine, 2008Co-Authors: Mark A Albanese, George C Mejicano, Larry D. GruppenAbstract:Medical Education is facing a convergence of challenges that the authors characterize as the four horsemen of the Medical Education apocalypse: teaching patient shortages, teacher shortages, conflicting systems, and financial problems. Rapidly expanding class sizes and new Medical schools are coming online as Medical student access to teaching patients is becoming increasingly difficult because of the decreasing length and increasing intensity of hospital stays, concerns about patient safety, patients who are stressed for time, teaching physician shortages and needs for increasing productivity from those who remain, and increasing emphasis on translational research. Further, Medical Education is facing reductions in funding from all sources, just as it is mounting its first major expansion in 40 years. The authors contend that Medical Education is on the verge of crisis and that little outside assistance is forthcoming. If Medical Education is to avoid a catastrophic decline, it will need to take steps to reinvent itself and make optimum use of all available resources. Curriculum materials developed nationally, increased reliance on simulation and standardized patient experiences, and adoption of quality-control methods such as competency-based Education are suggested as ways to keep Medical Education vital in an environment that is increasingly preoccupied with fending off the four horsemen. The authors conclude with a call for a national dialogue about how the Medical Education community can address the problems represented by the four horsemen, and they offer some potential ways to maintain the vitality of Medical Education in the face of such overwhelming problems.

transforming Medical Education is competency based Medical Education the right approach
Academic Medicine, 2016Co-Authors: Michael E WhitcombAbstract:There is growing recognition within the Medical Education community that Medical Education in this country needs to be changed to better prepare doctors for the challenges they will face in providing their patients high-quality Medical care. A competency-based Medical Education (CBME) approach was endorsed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and the American Board of Medical Specialties approximately 15 years ago, and a self-designated group-the International Competency-Based Medical Education (ICBME) Collaborators-is now calling on members of the Medical Education community to join them in their effort to establish CBME as the approach to be used in transforming Medical Education, not only in the United States but also around the world.In response to an article in this issue by a group of ICBME Collaborators, the author argues that more evidence about the effectiveness of CBME is needed before a global shift to this approach is undertaken. It is time for major organizations and foundations that are committed to improving Medical Education to step forward and take the lead in partnering with the Medical Education community to conduct a critical evaluation of CBME. In addition, maintenance of certification, relicensure, and continuing Medical Education programs should be evaluated for their effectiveness in ensuring that physicians are clinically competent not only at the beginning of their career but also until the end.
