OPNION OF ALUMNI 1992 – 2002CURRICULUM STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Why Curriculum renewal is Important “A curriculum is like water. It has the tendency to seek the lowest level of energy it can reach, and without constant renewal, it will stagnate and become putrid. To avoid stagnation alone is justification for action.” Acad Medicine Sept 1998 A Jones, Associate Dean – University of Calgary
Barriers to Medical School Curriculum Changes Listed by North American Academic Deans: • Already crowded curriculum • Inadequate funding • Faculty resistance • Professional ‘turf’ issues • Scheduling conflicts Graber et al. Acad Medicine 1997 A Jones, Associate Dean – University of Calgary
Curriculum – A Planned Educational Experience • Define the outcome measures. • Create an evaluation system to be sure these outcomes are realized. • Develop the pathways to get to these outcomes. Allan R Jones, MD FRCPC, Associate Dean, Undergraduate Medical Education
Goals for a Revised Curriculum A revised curriculum has to be consistent with available information on clinical problem solving and reflect basic principles of adult learning. A Jones, Associate Dean – University of Calgary
Medical students don’t remember or can’t use the knowledge they learned in the traditional basic science courses because the knowledge is structured into mental organizations that are not useful in the clinic Barrows, 1985 A Jones, Associate Dean – University of Calgary
Problem Based Learning – Benefits • Activate prior knowledge • Learn in context of clinical problem • Interest in learning stimulated • Self directed learning encouraged • Life long learning encouraged Schmidt - Norman A Jones, Associate Dean – University of Calgary
Problem Based Learning Concerns • Problem solving skills are not augmented • Significant gaps in knowledge occur • Incorrect integration of basic sciences • Tendency to engage in backward reasoning Albanese; Mitchell Academic Medicine A Jones, Associate Dean – University of Calgary
Clinical Reasoning • Clinical Reasoning and clinical knowledge are interdependent. • Effective problem solving requires a large store of relevant knowledge. • Clinical expertise is linked to depth and organization of clinical knowledge. A Jones, Associate Dean – University of Calgary
Problem Solving Skills In Medicine Research has proven that experts in specific domains learn knowledge and problem solving skills for each problem simultaneously. That is, knowledge acquisition and clinical reasoning go hand-in-hand. Schmidt et al 1992
Efforts to Help Students Improve Clinical Reasoning Education must focus on the development of adequate knowledge structures. Teaching, coaching, supervising must strongly encourage and nurture actual knowledge organization of the students.
Knowledge keeps no better than fish Alfred North Whitehead 1929
Clinical Reasoning and Small Group Cases It is useful to select one model of clinical reasoning and base the tutorial discussion on it. The precise model is less important than its generic use as a framework to structure the flow of discussion. It later serves as a fall-back strategy in complicated clinical situations.
Structure of Medical Knowledge in Memory Categories and Prototypes Both medical textbooks and classroom teaching abound in the limitless presentation of detailed lists of disorders. More often, both fail to provide a categorization scheme that is best suited for their retrieval in a clinical problem solving situation. Bordage Med Educ 1984

“Ask any physician of 20 years standing how he has become proficient in his art and he will reply, by constant contact with disease; and he will add that the medicine he learned in schools was totally different from the medicine he learned at the bedside.” Wm. Osler 1932

Basic Science or Biomedical Knowledge in the Undergraduate Program • The purpose of basic science teaching is to provide a scientific foundation for tasks of clinical practice such as diagnosis and therapeutics. The essential challenge of balancing depth of understanding with breadth of coverage remains. • (See p. 35, Fig. 4.1)
