Information Ronald M Harden OBE MD FRCP FRCS FRCPC - the missing ingredient for successful INNOVATION in medical education
At a time of recession should we be thinking about innovation?
The recognition that the recession provided, or could provide, a challenge; that it could, in some cases, be turned to a positive effect. Squires, 1982
In a time of economic challenges, increasing demands for health care, and less than desirable health outcomes for our citizens, to continue to do the same thing and expect different results is insanity, if I may quote Einstein. Change and innovation should be encouraged, not dismissed because they challenge the status quo. R B Martin, 2009Academic Medicine, 84, p5
When the wind blows some build walls, others build windmills. Hawkins, and Winter, 1997

INNOVATION in Medical Education VERY slow • The pace of change is ^ • The actual extent of change is modest or MINIMAL

Kurzweil’s Law (The Law of Accelerating Returns) The rate of change is accelerating instead of doubling at a constant rate. Because of the explosive power of exponential growth, the 21st century will be equivalent to 20,000 years of progress at today’s rate of progress, which is a thousand times greater than the 20th century.

The ‘5 ’ Model INNOVATION I
dea I generated success = INNOVATION
Creativity The capacity to imaginemedical education differently • Lateral thinking • Ingenuity • Problem solving • Questioning conventional theories
Lateral thinking • Ingenuity • Problem solving • Questioning conventional theories • A medical school with no lecture theatres and libraries • Collaborative or peer-assisted learning • Personalised or adaptive learning
BUT A good idea about Medical Education is not enough
“I know what works best” “It’s just a fad” “It’s not what students really need” “There’s no problems with the doctors I train” “It’s too expensive”
mprovement I X demonstrable success = INNOVATION dea I generated
Improvement Demonstrable Hearts Hearts and Minds Minds are both important
People change what they do less because they are given analysisthat shifts their thinkingthan because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings Kotter and Cohen, 2002, in The Heart of Change
They did not create a high enough sense of urgency among enough people to set the stage for making a challenging leap into some new direction. What is the biggest single error people make when they try to change?
Highly destructive complacency is, in fact, all around us, including in places where people would deny it, deny it and deny it still more. Complacency is much more common than we might think and very often invisible to the people involved. Success early produces complacency.
The impact of teacher beliefs on innovation in learning and teaching has been well documented

“It ain’t what you do” It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do it It ain’t what you do it’s the way that you do itAnd that’s what gets results Oliver
