Course Information

Description

Course will explore competency-based medical education for the 21st century, based on a global perspective. The course will be grounded in the implementation approaches to achieve competency-based medical education, and specifically, reform of medical curricula. This course will be a mix of didactics given by expert faculty from HMS and HMS' global partners, accompanied by small group, student-led discussion sessions. Students will draw from their own experiences whenever possible to contribute to the dynamic discussion. A case study on medical education reform in Vietnam will be used as an illustrative example, including opportunities and challenges of contextualizing a predominantly Western medical education system into a non-Western and resource-limited context.
