Most troublesome thing I heard at Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) LSL 2023 in Seattle? From a group of pre-clinical faculty: 📑 "What is even the point of year 1, year 2 in medical school anymore?" 🚩 "I don't even know what our role is, no one comes to class, we can't even get the students on campus". 💻 "We don't have any support for what we are being asked to do- moving away from lecture based instruction!" Its the worst of both worlds- calling it "flipped classroom" in name only while continuing to ask students and faculty to operate in a traditional pre-clinical curriculum. Lacking a big picture of the continuum from year 1- year 4. Mixed messages on USMLE and COMLEX prep. What problems are you seeing in your institution? What schools are doing something right? Where do we go from here?

🎓 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙉𝙚𝙬𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙀𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣!🩺 The Albert Einstein College of Medicine has set a groundbreaking precedent by offering tuition-free education to all its students, thanks to a monumental $1 billion donation. This transformative initiative promises to reshape the future of healthcare education and accessibility. 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: The initiative underscores a crucial shift in how medical education can be approached, prioritizing accessibility to cultivate excellence. It challenges the traditional norms of medical school financing and could set a precedent for other institutions to follow. 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲:This model could lead to a more diverse and debt-free new generation of healthcare professionals, potentially impacting areas like primary care, where there is a significant need but often less financial incentive compared to specialized fields. 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: The donation highlights the significant impact philanthropy can have on education, particularly in fields where the cost of training is a major barrier to entry. It raises questions about the sustainability of such models and the potential for replication by other institutions. The Albert Einstein College of Medicine's move to tuition-free education represents a significant milestone in higher education, particularly in the medical field, where the cost of education can be prohibitively expensive. This initiative not only broadens access to medical education but also serves as a model for how philanthropy can facilitate significant changes in the landscape of higher education, promoting diversity, equity, and excellence in the medical profession. We #SoDRM look to follow this model in near future!💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿 What is your costs of intelligence? #MedicalEducation #DiversityInMedicine #HealthcareInnovation #Philanthropy #FutureOfHealthcare

Embarking on a transformative journey since April 2020, my course on COVID-19 has evolved alongside the pandemic. With over 1,100 Stanford students, we've delved into COVID-19's clinical impact and its profound societal repercussions on health drivers, policies, and inequalities. Seeing my students' impact firsthand has been inspiring. Some collaborated with community partners, bridging critical gaps caused by the pandemic. Discover how our course empowers students to address pressing community needs through medical service learning in our mixed-methods study.

The admissions committees do not look down on gap years. Most accepted med school students reported having taken one or more gap years. ⚠️Here is the catch: whatever you do during your gap year needs to make sense for you – as a future doctor. What you do during the gap year should seem organically right. For more information on taking a gap year before medical school, read the full article by Accepted consultant, Dr. Mary J. Mahoney. https://hubs.li/Q02r2Tfm0 #medschool #medicalschool #futuredoctor #gapyear #medschooladmissions
