It is well established that evidence based clinical nutrition and lifestyle practices play a pivotal role in the prevention, treatment and potential reversal of various common chronic diseases. However, this area of science is under appreciated at all levels of medical education and training. Most medical schools and residency programs do not offer any organized training in nutrition and lifestyle medicine. Given recent data on the rising cost and loss of quality of life secondary to preventable causes, there is an absolute need for a drastic reform of the US medical education system.

AbstractThe maiden deployment of HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH (WESTLANT 18) was supported by a Role 2 Afloat (R2A) team. This deployment enabled the first of class fixed wing flying trials for the F35-B Lightning and gave the deployed team the opportunity to establish the R2A capability within the Carrier Strike Group. During the deployment the team engaged in continuous medical education and training. This paper describes the experience of the team utilising in-situ simulation techniques, which had not been used before on a R2A deployment. In particular, a high fidelity in-situ simulation exercise (Ex POSEIDON) was enabled with the support of the US Navy, and the lessons identified from this are described.

The Way

Many of you will know that Modernising Medical Careers (MMC) is well under way. The Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB) is also well established and is changing the way postgraduate medical training is run and assessed. PMETB guidance is already having an influence on dental training at deanery level. The GDC has approved the specialist list review and some of the recommendations mirror those of PMETB.

There have been fundamental changes in both medical and surgical education over the last few years in order to streamline training and develop subspecialisation. Labelled as Modernising Medical Careers (MMC), changes include the much-criticised Medical Training Application Service (MTAS), a new governing body in the form of the Postgraduate Medical Education and Training Board (PMETB), along with radical changes in the overall training structure.

Medical education and training has evolved over the centuries. Ireland has a long history of leading on aspects of training that remain relevant today, focussing on the apprenticeship model coupled with a robust modern medical education framework. The practice of medicine is changing rapidly driven by expanding knowledge, advances in technology and use of artificial intelligence, demographic shifts and the expectations of patients and society. Medical training and education need to adapt to ensure that our current knowledge and future medical workforce is prepared for modern-day patient-centric practice. Ireland has emerged as a world leader in medical device technology, pharmaceutical research and development and social media technology support which offer the opportunity for the future of medical training. Knowledge, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, compassion, resilience and leadership are key attributes to which we as a profession aspire. There is an opportunity to leverage Ireland’s global position in technology and finance to train our modern-day medical workforce whilst retaining the attributes of the compassionate practice of the art of medicine. This paper explores the past, present and future of medical education and training in Ireland.

PURPOSE The medical education system in Jordan is one of the most advanced education systems in the Middle East. Yet many medical school graduates leave the country to seek specialty and subspecialty education and training abroad, and the majority of graduates continue their careers there. METHODS We explored reasons behind this so-called “brain drain” and how to slow it, along with capacity building opportunities and strategies for better local training. RESULTS By taking advantage of various international collaborative opportunities, the King Hussein Cancer Center has managed to offer strong local training programs and an enhanced working environment, which has enabled us to improve the educational level of our graduates so they can help staff the Center, the country, and the region. CONCLUSION Strong local training programs coupled with international partnerships can result in better training for physicians and offset the problem of brain drain without putting any restraints on the graduates.
