Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The medical curriculum prepares undergraduates for the challenges they are about to face in the real world. Not only do these challenges change with time, the characteristics of students and patients also change. Thus arises the need to adjust our teaching methods in order to provide the best level of care for patients and simultaneously support medical students in navigating this complex task. Modern day challenges from the societal perspective which could impact healthcare range from the greying of the population, the expected impact of climate change and persistent inequalities and discrimination in healthcare access. How each medical curriculum addresses modern-day healthcare-related challenges might be different and is therefore of value to share with other educators. This will not only inspire educators, but could also be an invitation to collaborate and share teaching experiences or even materials.
The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together the diversity of knowledge, experience, and expertise on teaching methodologies employed to address the current societal needs.
Articles may address, but are not limited to the following topics:
- Closer ties with patients and community;
- Technology and artificial intelligence in healthcare;
- Planetary health in the medical curriculum;
- Student-centered and active learning;
- Artificial intelligence as a tool in the medical curriculum;
- Team-based learning (TBL) in the medical curriculum.
