EDUCATE TO TRANSFORM: THE ART OF DEVELOPING CURIOUS MINDS

Trans Am Clin Climatol Assoc. 2016:127:259-271.

Abstract

With rapid changes in health care and academic medicine, deans and medical educators need to carefully optimize medical education in order to best prepare our students for the future. Fundamentally, it is critical that future medical practitioners develop curious minds that look beyond the obvious to ask questions not yet asked and glean reality. This paper summarizes optimal adult learning, including (for example) concepts such as deliberate practice, active and interactive learning, and the flipped classroom.
