Bridging Gaps in Medical Education by hina Mohsin

Bridging the Critical Gap in Medical Education

mohsinh1 — 2024-03-21 22:00:20 UTC

In the journey of becoming competent medical practitioners, students face a significant chasm between theoretical knowledge and the practical skills crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Project:

Our project delves into the procedural training landscape of North American medical schools, seeking to unearth and address the roots of this educational gap. Through a systematic review and the introduction of the Mastery Learning Course for Medical Students on Core Clinical Procedures (MCCP), we embark on a mission to redefine procedural skills training.

Gaps Identified

The Core Entrustable Professional Activities for Entering Residency outlined by the Association of American Medical Colleges in 2014 further emphasized the importance of competency in various procedures as students transition to residency (AAMC, 2014). The EPAs indicate that medical school graduates should demonstrate competency in various procedures, including but not limited to venipuncture, suturing, splinting, arterial puncture, laceration repair, and lumbar puncture (AAMC, 2014).

The Mastery Learning Course for Medical Students on Core Clinical Procedures (MCCP), developed for students at CUSM, aims to bridge the critical gap between theoretical knowledge and practical procedural skills in medical education. This innovative curriculum enhances students' ability to perform essential clinical procedures competently and confidently in real-world settings.
