Some New Additions to Medical School Programs

A list of Medical School Educational Programs is available in the Curriculum Directory of the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) which includes courses, combined degree programs and clerkships. The journals of the AAMC also provide the latest information about the curriculum available and they are available in most school libraries. The AAMC Curriculum Directory has a list of the medical student education programs at the 126 U.S. and 16 Canadian medical schools with the details of each program. A student can not only search for the required courses but he can also check out the instructional and curricular innovations. The studies include graduation and post graduation studies in medicine.

Intensive reviews of these educational programs and instructional methods are carried out from time to time by medical schools in order to encourage improvement of medical education. As a result, an interdisciplinary approach to the presentation of individual course content has emerged, and the functional applications of structure have gained more emphasis.

Medical school students have more opportunities for independent study and the coursework can be elective. An interesting development in the curriculum has been the individual approach, whereby separate learning tracks of varying durations have been established at various schools. This approach has subsequently been adapted by most of the medical schools and has been integrated in their program.

The main aim of any Medical School Program is to turn out ethical and culturally competent physicians. Excellence in medical education is of prime importance, and that is why the program includes acquisition of clinical skills, professional attitudes and building up a strong knowledge base.

Many programs introduce first year students to clinical experiences to encourage learning and professional growth. Medical School programs which provide graduate medical education train students professionally and clinically. They are taught the humane care of patients and learn to take responsibility as resident physicians as early as possible.

The Academic Programs of Medical Schools provide details about Graduate Medical Education, Graduate Programs, Postdoctoral Programs and ways of continuing medical education. Medical School Programs offer education and training in many subjects of biomedical sciences.

If the university has a research campus, research opportunities are made available to the Medical School students. Some research subjects offered are biochemistry, biotechnology, cell biology, virology and cellular immunology. Seminars and journal clubs have to be done in addition to course work.

Postdoctoral studies are also included in the medical school programs. Training of postdoctoral appointees has been a part of the program in recent years. A list of seminars is offered for them so that they can hear about the research studies of their peers and also get feedback from experts and professors regarding further studies.

A very recent addition to the medical school program has been spirituality. The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at UB is introducing it in their curriculum from this fall semester. The program manager feels that this subject will enable the medical school students to understand patients better by understanding their culture, religious beliefs and end-of-life issues.
