Abstract:
Change is a normal and expected phenomenon in the 20th century, but how well are health professions educators prepared to deal with necessary educational change? This article presents a conceptual model for the change process, which provides a framework for adopting an innovation. Although a systems model is used, the human factors associated with change are emphasized. The model provides a basis for action, but the limitations of a static, inflexible viewpoint are discussed. The manager of the change process must be sensitive and responsive to human factors. To be successful, the manager must capitalize on his/her intuitive and creative capabilities. The phenomenon of change may be disruptive to an educational organization. The manager of change may not be in a comfortable position, but the manager who perseveres will see innovations adopted, experience personal growth and contribute to the professional development of others.
