Significant Change

Continuing medical education has been following essentially the same model for the past seventy years. The past decade has brought such significant change in society's expectations of medical professionals that medical schools, continuing medical education providers, and physicians themselves are being forced to consider alternate models. These pressures for change and possible directions for change are outlined.

How can these patients from the past be used for teaching and continuing medical education? How to justify their place in biomedical publications? In this article, we explain all the legitimacy of paleomedicine, and the need to intensify such research in the form of a well-individualised branch of paleopathology and the history of medicine.

The Past

Over the past 15 years, medical schools have paid some attention to the importance of developing students' communication skills as part of their medical education. Over the past decade, medical ethics has been added to the curriculum of most U.S. medical schools, at least on paper. More recently, there has been growing discussion of the importance of professionalism in medical education. Yet, the nature and content of these fields and their relationship to one another remains confused and vague, and that lack of clarity, in turn, impairs the effectiveness of medical education. This ambiguity invites serious contention over who should design and teach the curriculum as well as when, where, and how it should be taught.

As medical education has become something of a buyer's market, a Midwest medical school and a Texas university are resorting to advertising for students. The Medical College of Ohio in Toledo has taken out ads in 23 Ohio college newspapers urging premed students to consider applying. Meanwhile, the University of Texas System, in a broader appeal, is running TV ads urging young Texans to choose health careers. University of Texas officials hope their ad campaign will help stem a decline in enrollments in the state's medical and related schools, the same trend observed nationally for the past 15 years. Medical-school enrollments declined 37% nationwide between 1974 and 1988, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Videoconferencing has been used for continuing medical education (CME) in Nova Scotia since a pilot project to four communities in 1995. The Nova Scotia Telehealth Network was developed after the pilot project. Using the network, the videoconferenced CME programme expanded over the next few years until in, 2000 1, 66 programmes were broadcast to 38 sites. During the expansion of the programme, we improved video quality and developed efficient methods of: scheduling and planning the content of the videoconferences; training faculty presenters in videoconferencing techniques; and evaluation. We consider this programme represents a success. However, several aspects could be improved. Faculty members still need encouragement to make visual aids legible by videoconference and to provide handouts. Also, there has been little upgrading of equipment over the past four years and some reduction in the reliability of connections.

UNSTRUCTURED Since January 2020, COVID-19 pandemic has engulfed the whole world. Many cities in the world have been under lockdown during this outbreak and the regular classes, clinical, laboratory sessions have been suspended in most medical schools. In the midst of this pandemic, we have had to reinvent the pedagogy of undergraduate medical teaching. This perspective article discusses how medical education has been affected by COVID-19 around the world and how it has made educators rethink their teaching strategy. This pandemic has pushed us to come up with a contingency plan for continuing medical education in the event of a disaster that requires containment.

Physician Prescribing

Public policy tries to promote appropriate drug use by allowing firms to market drugs in interstate commerce only for uses that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found to be safe and effective. Because of their medical knowledge, physicians are authorized to prescribe drugs even for uses unapproved by the FDA. Nevertheless, physicians have relied on drug firms for information on appropriate prescribing despite the inherent tension between drug firm dissemination of information to promote sales and rational prescribing. In the past, physicians often relied particularly on drug firm advertising for information on drug use. Today, physicians rely on drug firms to finance continuing medical education (CME). A historical review reveals connections between these two different ways commercial interests have influenced the information that physicians receive and points the way to needed reforms.

Convulsive Seizures

Convulsive syndrome is an urgent, potentially life-threatening condition in neurological, paediatric and general practice. Over the past decade, reconsideration has been committed in relation to the defi nition of epilepsy, epileptic syndromes, including convulsive syndrome with simultaneous expansion of the arsenal of medicinal products for cessation of convulsive seizures in children and adults. In this connection, we have prepared this lecture comprising two parts: the first part considers the defi nition, pathogenesis, aetiology and diagnosis of the convulsive syndrome. The lecture is designed for neurologists, paediatricians, general practitioners, ambulance physicians and anaesthesiologists-reanimatologists. Th e system of continuing medical education (CME) considers convulsive syndrome within the framework of the programme for postgraduate training of physicians in these specialities.
