"This book is written by two eminent educators and clinicians in
medicine, and provides a wealth of information and food for thought
for those who have responsibility for curriculum development."
Journal of Orthodontics What are the contemporary problems facing
curriculum designers and developers? What are the key questions
that ought to be addressed with regard to curriculum design for
medical practice? How might a curriculum for practice in medical
education be developed? Medical Education offers a detailed
response to these questions and shows what form a curriculum for
practice should take and how one can be developed. These ideas are
presented in a highly practical and readable account that is
essential reading for those involved in educating the doctors of
the future and for policy makers in the field of medical education.
It also offers useful advice for those in related fields of health
care.The authors show that recent developments of curricula for
postgraduate doctors have been founded on the misguided view
(promoted by politicians and policy makers) that medical practice
is routine, straightforward and able to be reduced to simple
protocols that professionals must learn and follow. In this view,
doctors are technicians who need merely to be trained through a
simple curriculum. In contrast, this book shows that the practice
of medicine as experienced by working doctors is complex, uncertain
and unpredictable. This requires a curriculum that provides the
opportunity to learn to exercise professional judgement and make
decisions based on practical wisdom.
