Riding Current and Future 'Global' Trends in Medical Education - Engaging in an interactive 'Local' Conversation, Faculty Seminar for Medical Education(FAME) @ KU (Korea University)

Faculty Seminar for Medical Education(FAME) @ KU (Korea University)

2 November 2021, 12.30pm - 13.30pm Seoul Time (11.30am - 1230pm Singapore Time, Tuesday, 2 November 2021)

"Riding Current and Future 'Global' Trends in Medical Education - Engaging in an interactive 'Local' Conversation"

Poh-Sun Goh


This purpose of this interactive session will be to explore 'Global' Trends in Medical Education, and how these might be 'Localised', customised, and applied to meet the needs of individual local users and stakeholders. The discussion will expand on recent published papers in the KJME, including by Park, Lee, Ho and Han [1], and commentary summarising and expanding on my keynote presentation at the KSME 2021 conference [2]. I will apply a Design Thinking perspective and lens to engage with the audience in an interactive conversation on this topic.




One Slide Overview Below



"Among the 7616 abstracts initially identified, 28 full-text articles were selected to reflect medical education trends and suggest suitable educational programs. The integrative themes and subthemes of future medical education are as follows: 1) a humanistic approach to patient safety that involves encouraging humanistic doctors and facilitating collaboration; 2) early experience and longitudinal integration by early exposure to patient-oriented integration and longitudinal integrated clerkships; 3) going beyond hospitals toward society by responding to changing community needs and showing respect for diversity; and 4) student-driven learning with advanced technology through active learning with individualization, social interaction, and resource accessibility."  quoted from abstract (results) from

"The deans’ perspective changes has shown the possibility of the deans’ generation aligning more closely with the current Generation Z medical students. They projected further innovations in teaching and learning methods, especially applying flipped learning and highlighted the need to invest in faculty development so medical educators can be equipped and competent in diverse ICT (information and communications technology) learning platforms. Also, the need for advance preparations in medical education for future similar public health crises were stressed. Unprecedented changes brought by COVID-19 positively impacted Korean medical education in parts and the Korean deans envisioned further innovations using the experiences gained during this crisis." -  quoted from abstract (conclusion) from

"... Continuous improvement and transformation of this lengthy longitudinal professional training and certification to practice path offers several, if not many opportunities to blend the “best use” of human guided training, feedback and coaching with technology tools and platforms (including AI, VR, AR, MR, robotics, simulation paradigms, and simulators, as well as pervasive or regularly sampled indicators and data of both performance and outcomes—with learning and performance analytics). We augment this with visibility, data, performance and outcome analysis and analytics of professional teams, and both localized and larger health systems and networks; in order to build a high functioning, high quality efficient and effective, safe clinical teams, and health systems, at local, regional, countrywide; and even at international levels. Why not? Blending the best of “human intelligence” and AI could potentially, can, and should allow us to scale best practices [1]." quoted from final paragraph from

‘As cost progressively reduces, availability and usability of wearable tech for AR, VR, and Mixed Reality progressively increases, together with a deeper understanding of their appropriate use, including software and content for these “newer technologies”; and deeper understanding, wider access, and lower cost of simulation and gaming platforms and paradigms; combined with embedded, usable, and iteratively improving AI and Machine Learning; adoption and use of these technologies to complement, augment, supplement, and even replace previous more traditional methods of instruction and training will progressively increase. Technology will eventually seamlessly integrate even further into our clinical and teaching practice. Our role as educators will be to envision, plan, guide, support and oversee this process, expanding and deepening our role as teachers, instructors, content creators, curators, guides and coaches’ [1]. - above quoted from final paragraph from

Let us, then, be up and doing,

   With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

   Learn to labor and to wait.

- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea!

- Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr.
