BROWN-BAG LUNCH SEMINARS

(IAMSE WEBCAST AUDIO SEMINAR SERIES)

This webcast series is titled: Celebrating Flexner Centennial: Past, Present, and Future. Medical education in North America has been shaped over the past century by a significant explosion of new knowledge, advanced technology and more complex institutions. The recent evidence from the basic and clinical sciences suggests that a new era will configure increased scientific and regulatory oversight, learner-centered curriculum and student learning opportunities that reflect the social, ethical and economic needs of an ever-changing society. This webcast series will reflect on significant transitions and stages of change in medical education with a fresh look at future trends likely to enrich student learning and critical thinking.
