The University of Nebraska Medical Center continues to be on the cutting edge of changing the medical education landscape, said Andrew Gurman, M.D., president of the American Medical Association (AMA), during his visit to the medical center last week.
The UNMC College of Medicine is a member of the AMA’s 32 school "Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium," which is working together to share best practices and innovations with other medical schools across the country.
Medical education, Dr. Gurman said, is based largely on an educational model that is more than a century old but does not reflect how physicians practice today, which is more team-focused.
"When we work together medical care is much better. The challenge then is to teach medical students how to function on a team," he said.
Dr. Gurman was in Omaha last week as a keynote speaker at the UNMC Residency Symposium held on campus on April 29.
