Assessment 2 Instructions: Changes in Medical Education

Write a 3-4 page paper to analyze the scope of change in medical education from the 1800s to today, the

apprenticeship and academic models, and the importance of understanding the history in order to help improve

medical education in the future.

Jake is seeking a position in health care recruiting and human capital management. He is examining the many

different professional roles that make up the health care workforce in the United States. He finds that clinical

and administrative roles are significantly different today than those in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.

Physicians, nurses, technologists, and many of the administrative positions today require state licensure,

periodic revalidation, certifications, recertification, or registration in order to practice their profession.

Throughout the ages there have been many landmark studies, reports, and events that have changed the course

of history in medicine and medical education. The Flexner Report (1910) reformed medical education and

brought it to where it is today (Young & Kroth, 2018). This report was the catalyst that pushed for legislation

requiring physicians to be licensed. The report called for formalizing medical education and increasing the

length of time in structured, formal medical programs. This report has influenced medical education and

licensing for all of the many different types of clinical, technical, and administrative health care disciplines of

today.

For your assessment, think about the evolution of health care education and its effect on the various clinical and

administrative roles. Where does provider credentialing fit into the scheme of things, and why is it so important

in health care today? How does today’s fellowship training experience compare with the previous

apprenticeship training experience? What are the innovative technological advancements that have elevated the

health care professions and the clinics and hospitals that these professionals work in today?

Imagine you are a medical apprentice in the 1800s. Envision your medical training during this era under the

apprenticeship model. Jump to the 1960s and envision your training under the academic model. Finally, think of

what your medical school training might look like today.

Of particular interest for today’s training are the many technology innovations for learning in medical schools,

including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), robotic-assisted surgery, and minimally or noninvasive

procedure technologies. Today’s training features remote patient monitoring (RPM) and telemedicine through a

virtual model of care (VMC), as well as learning to use the human genome for more accurate diagnosing and

patient-specific treatments.
