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.

Abstract:This paper is a brief review of the research and training programs offered in Medical Informatics at the Faculty of Medicine of Marseille (LERTIM). Our laboratory teaches medical informatics and bio-statistics in the medical training curriculum, and prepares for specialised degrees and provides continuing medical education. The research projects developed by our team fall into four groups: clinical decision systems, health information systems, medical education systems, integration systems.

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.

Abstract Background Medical education encompasses many activities (e.g., teaching, supervision, mentorship, and administration). Little research has explored what the term "medical education" means to trainees or assessed the importance postgraduate medical trainees place on education as part of their career plans. Methods We conducted a survey of fellows in all subspecialty training programs at a three-site academic institution. We asked multiple choice and Likert scale questions to characterize fellows’ perception of, interest and training in medical education. Results One hundred sixty-nine of 530 (31.9%) fellows responded. Fellows were training in subspecialties of internal medicine (49.7%) and surgery (13.0%), among others. Most fellows planned careers in academic medicine (38.5% clinician-educator, 22.5% clinician-investigator, 17.2% academic clinician). Fellows reported that their conception of medical education involved supervising trainees in a clinical capacity (93.5%), teaching in the classroom (89.3%), and providing mentorship for trainees (87.6%). Respondents identified “being an educator” as extremely (43.8%) or moderately (43.2%) important for their future careers. Only 30.2% had received formal training in medical education, but 61.5% felt that formal training should be required for those pursuing careers with strong educational components. Conclusions Most subspecialty fellows surveyed planned careers in academics and felt that medical education was important to their professional future. While less than a third received formal training in education, almost two thirds felt that such training should be required for a career as an educator. This study provides evidence for the creation and promotion of educational training programs for trainees interested in careers involving medical education.

The objective of this paper is to present two concepts which may assist fellow human factors personnel in selling safety and training programs to hard nosed managers in industry and government. Most often, proposed training and safety programs are presented to management as a means of making employees happy and safe. The justification for the program is that management owes its employees a happy and safe working environment. However, managers are judged by their superiors based on the extent to which they provide a product or service at a reasonable cost.

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.

History Of Race

Abstract The institution of medicine was built on a foundation of racism and segregation, the consequences of which still permeate the experiences of Black physicians and patients. To predict the future direction of medical inclusivity, we must first understand the history of medicine as it pertains to race, diversity, and equity. In this Commentary, we review material from publicly available books, articles, and media outlets in a variety of areas, including undergraduate medical education and professional medical societies, where we found an abundance of policies and practices that created a foundation of systemic racism in medical training that carried through the career paths of Black physicians. The objective of this Commentary is to present the history of race in the medical education system and medical society membership, acknowledge the present state of both, and offer concrete solutions to increase diversity in our medical community.

Racial And Ethnic Minority

In response to persistent and growing health disparities among racial and ethnic minority groups in the United States, health care institutions have started to enhance cultural competency education and training in both health care organizations and medical education. This effort to integrate culture into professional guidelines and training curricula has been consistent among the psychiatric workforce over the last few decades. While these efforts to address mental health disparities among racial and ethnic minority groups are welcomed, much more work is needed to integrate sociocultural education into medical training. This chapter describes the evolution of sociocultural medical education from teaching cultural competence to cultural humility, with its opportunities and challenges. Using a case-based approach, the authors propose general principles from existing curricula that can help psychiatric faculty design and teach sociocultural curricula for psychiatry trainees in diverse settings.
