A New Educational Framework to Improve Lifelong Learning for Cardiologists
2018, Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Citation Excerpt :
Similarly, simulation training in transesophageal and transthoracic echocardiography was associated with improved image acquisition skills and efficiency (28,29). The technology also shows promise in other fields, such as resuscitation (30,31) and electrophysiology (32–34). Although the strength of the available evidence in these studies is sometimes limited by small sample size, cohort bias, or absence of blinding of assessors to the intervention, the evidence supporting improved performance in real patients following simulation-based training in various cardiovascular procedures is slowly growing (23).
Lifelong learning is essential for the practicing cardiologist. Present lifelong learning mechanisms are stagnant and at risk for not meeting the needs of currently practicing cardiologists. With the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease, growing complexity of patient care, and ongoing pressures of nonclinical responsibilities, educational programming must evolve to meet the demands of the contemporary cardiovascular professional. A paradigm shift, replete with modern and practical educational tools, is needed in the lifelong learning armamentarium. Emerging evidence of novel educational strategies in graduate medical education supports the promise of broader application of these tools to different stages of professional life. In this commentary from the Fellows-in-Training Section Leadership Council, the authors propose 3 novel educational tools—personalized learning, adaptive learning, and the flipped classroom—to improve lifelong learning to meet the educational needs of fellows-in-training to practicing cardiologists alike.
