In Tele-Conference Call, AMA to Announce Newest Effort to Create Medical School of the Future
Teaching electronic health record to provide real-world experience for future physicians
CHICAGO – Today, in a telephone conference call with reporters, the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Regenstrief Institute, along with a representative from UConn School of Medicine, will announce a new effort aimed at ensuring more medical students and medical trainees gain real-world experience using electronic health records during their training. This is the latest innovation to emerge as part of the AMA’s ongoing effort to develop bold, innovative ways to improve physician training.
The AMA launched its Accelerating Change in Medical Education initiative in 2013—providing $11 million in grants to fund major innovations at 11 of the nation’s medical schools. Together, these schools formed a Consortium that shares best practices with a goal of widely disseminating the new and innovative curricula being developed. The AMA expanded its Consortium in 2015 with grants to an additional 21 schools to develop new curricula that better align undergraduate medical education with the modern health care system. Most recently, through its work with the 32-school Consortium, the AMA launched a new health systems science textbook that can be used by all medical schools to help future physicians navigate the changing landscape of modern health care, especially as the nation’s health care system moves toward value-based care.
