Matching graduate education with societal need
1Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Washington Medical School, Seattle, Washington 98195, USA.
Objectives/Hypothesis:
A number of prior Ogura lecturers have focused on the need to change residency education in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery; nothing has changed. The present discussion is based on the notion that graduate medical education should reflect societal need.
Study Design:
Lecture.
Methods:
Information on graduate medical education is presented.
Results:
The information presented substantiates the maldistribution of otolaryngologists and the mismatch of the design and output of our programs from the perspective of public need.
Conclusion:
It is proposed that the American Board of Otolaryngology should take the lead in substantive change with the targets being 1) providing flexibility in program design, 2) a 1-year reduction in core training in otolaryngology, and 3) expanded interaction with family medicine.
