Abstract:
The future of healthcare and medical education is intertwined. As healthcare systems struggle to meet the needs of an ageing population, geographic inequity, and more people living with chronic conditions, medical education providers are grappling with program expansion, educator and clinical academic shortages, and the diverse needs of learners. In this opinion piece, we describe the drivers for change and outline how medical education is adapting. We explore the likely developments that will influence the future of medical education from three perspectives: people, program, and place. While there are many exciting innovations in medical education to more equitably grow the medical workforce, it is critical that governments and other employers strengthen their approach to doctor recruitment and retention.
