Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students notoriously vote with their feet, seeking out the best and most innovative teachers of their subject. The most ambitious students have been travelling long distances for their education since universities were first founded in the 13th century, making their own educational pilgrimage or peregrinatio. This volume deals with the peregrinatio medica from the viewpoint of the travelling students: who went where; how did they travel; what did they find when they arrived; what did they take back with them from their studies. Even a single individual could transform medical studies or practice back home on the periphery by trying to reform teaching and practice the way they had seen it at the best universities. Other contributions look at the universities themselves and how they were actively developed to attract students, and at some of the most successful teachers, such as Boerhaave at Leiden or the Monros at Edinburgh. The essays show how increasing levels of wealth allowed more and more students to make their pilgrimages, travelling for weeks at a time to sit at the feet of a particular master. In medicine this meant that, over the period c.1500 to 1789, a succession of universities became the medical school of choice for ambitious students: Padua and Bologna in the 1500s, Paris, Leiden and Montpellier in the 1600s, and Leiden, Göttingen and Edinburgh in the 1700s. The arrival of foreign students brought wealth to the university towns and this significant economic benefit meant that the governors of these universities tried to ensure the defence of freedom of religion and freedom of speech, thus providing the best conditions for the promotion of new views and innovation in medicine. The collection presents a new take on the history of medical education, as well as universities, travel and education more widely in ancien régime Europe.
Download or read book Medical Education in Europe written by Abraham Flexner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medical Education in Europe: A Report to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching IN June, 1910, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching published a report on medical education in the United States and Canada.1 This report not only dealt with the conditions Of the medical schools in the United States and Canada, but also attempted an analysis of the problem of medical education. The publication of that report met with immediate response not only from the teachers of medicine in America, but from the medical profession itself, and there was a prompt suggestion that the Foundation continue the work thus begun by a study of medical education in leading European nations. The present report on medical education in the German Empire, Austria, France, England, and Scotland is therefore the outcome Of the first report on medical education in the United States and Canada, and is to a very large extent a necessary supplement to it. It has been carried out under the direction of the Foundation by Mr. Abraham Flexner, who made the previous report. Its plan follows essentially the general plan adopted in the former bulletin. First, there is given an historical statement, which attempts in brief compass to describe the background upon which modern medical education in Europe is to be studied, and the point of departure from which the present undertaking is begun. Like its prede cessor, this report concerns itself thereupon with the basis of medical education and the relation of education in medicine to the general system of schools. It considers next the laboratory branches, and following these in succession the clinical studies and the hospital as related to the problem of practical clinical training. Adhering also to the course previously pursued, the author has taken up later the financial aspects Of medical education, medical sects, postgraduate education, and the medical train ing of women. Throughout, the influence of university status on medical education is contrasted with the influence of proprietary conditions.

Download or read book MedEd 21 written by G. D. Majoor and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the next century, society will demand doctors with different competencies and skills. For example, doctors will be expected to cope efficiently with the information overload, to take advantage of new technologies including information technology, to work in a multiracial community, and always to work as efficiently and effectively as possible. Modern insights into the nature of teaching and learning and the results from experiments with new instructional methods and approaches are now implemented in medical education to meet these demands. With reference to a conference organised by the Faculty of Medicine of Maastricht University, this book provides a better insight into the possibilities of new educational methods (in particular Problem-Based Learning) appropriate for the training of new doctors. Reports are presented on a number of initiatives, particularly from Europe, to change medical education. Many areas are covered, including methods and strategies for implementing change, curriculum and course development, clinical training and skills, problem-based and community-based learning, assessment and evaluation, and attitude and faculty development. Following the example developed in Canada for health professions education, the Faculty of Medicine of Maastricht University is the first school in Europe to adopt the method of Problem-Based Learning. The staff of the Faculty of Medicine developed and adjusted the Problem-Based Learning theory especially for the needs of the European labour market and has since put into practice. Since then this method has rapidly conquered the rest of the world, finding many supporters among different academic courses. In brief, this book constitutes a preliminary report of what the 21st century will bring to medical education.
Download or read book Advances in Medical Education written by A.J.J.A. Scherpbier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 550 registrants from 51 different countries attended the Seventh Ottawa Conference on Medical Education and Assessment in Maastricht. We received 525 abstracts for the conference, divided in thematic poster sessions and platform presentations. Organising the conference was an honour and we tried to meet the high standards of a friendly and relaxed atmosphere which has characterized previous Ottawa conferences. During and after the conference about 250 papers were submitted for publication in the conference proceedings, leaving us little time for a post-conference depression. Despite the large number of papers, the editors have attempted to review and edit the papers as care fully as possible. Occasionally, however, correspondence exceeded reasonable deadlines, preventing careful editing of a small number of the papers. Although we felt that our editorial task was not quite finished, we nevertheless decided to include these papers. We thank the many authors for their enthusiastic and prompt response to - occasionally tedious - editorial suggestions and requests. We are sure that this collective effort has resulted in a book that will make an important contribution to the field of medical education. The editors want to thank Jocelyn Flippo-Berger whose expertise with desk top publishing and perseverance was a great help.
Download or read book Becoming a Physician written by Thomas Neville Bonner and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the social, intellectual, and political context in which medical education took place, Thomas Neville Bonner offers a detailed analysis of transformations in medical instruction in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States between the Enlightenment and World War II. From a unique comparative perspective, this study considers how divergent approaches to medical instruction in these countries mirrored as well as impacted their particular cultural contexts. The book opens with an examination of key developments in medical education during the late eighteenth century and continues by tracing the evolution of clinical teaching practices in the early 1800s. It then charts the rise of laboratory-based teaching in the nineteenth century and the progression toward the establishment of university standards for medical education during the early twentieth century. Throughout, the author identifies changes in medical student populations and student life, including the opportunities available for women and minorities.
