The coronavirus pandemic has prompted big changes in U.S. medical schools, from remote learning to classes on racial equity.
Norma Lopez's curator insight, September 16, 2023 5:59 PM
The COVID-19 pandemic has expedited the demand for a reformation of the conventional American medical education system, compelling medical schools to adapt on both practical and ideological fronts. As the crisis highlighted healthcare disparities, medical institutions are now challenged to produce doctors who can address these inequities and navigate a rapidly evolving world.

Let's lose the deficit language about online education. By @TansyJtweets

Let's lose the deficit language about online education. By @TansyJtweets | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it

eading the national press at the moment you might think that universities had just performed the last rites over centuries of in-person and on-campus teaching.

The argument being pedalled by journalists whose experience of lectures was clearly more inspirational than mine, is simplistic and misleading. It suggests that a curriculum without live lectures equates to the end of all in-person teaching, as if practicals, laboratories, seminars, and tutorials do not count. Headline catching it may be; true it is not.

There are good arguments why universities are putting lectures online. Any university which has a vague interest in keeping the R rate down and being public health spirited would not wish to cram 400 students into a large airless lecture mimicking a static version of the Diamond Princess, but with younger passengers.

Kill the sacred lecture cow 


But the naivety of the journalists’ critique is not about public health, it’s about what counts as higher education, and the totemic status of lectures. Anyone who has worked within an inch of higher education in the last 10 to 15 years will know that attendance at live lectures has dwindled dramatically since the installation of lecture capture which records the dulcet or droning tones of a lecture.
