Hi Giuseppe,

As an educational technologist, I also advocate a paradigm shift in medical education. I firmly believe that adopting a learner-centered educational paradigm could be the way forward. And, this paradigm places the learner at the center of the educational process, focusing on their individual needs, goals, and experiences. Constructivism and social constructivism theories support this learner-centered approach. By embracing this learner-centered paradigm, medical education can empower students to become active participants in their learning journey, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a lifelong commitment to learning. It shifts the focus from a teacher-centric approach to one that prioritizes individual student needs, experiences, and aspirations, ultimately revolutionizing the way medical education is approached and delivered.

I studied heart auscultation training for medical trainees. By aligning my study with these educational theories, I emphasized the active role of learners and the importance of social interactions, creating a dynamic and effective learning environment.

In my study on heart auscultation training, I embraced the learner-centered paradigm by incorporating elements of constructivism and social constructivism. I developed a game-based educational tool that actively engaged students in the learning process, enabling them to construct their understanding of auscultation skills through interactive experiences. The tool provided instant feedback, allowing the medical trainees to monitor their progress and make necessary adjustments. Moreover, they discovered that the flexibility and convenience of the tool empowered them to integrate learning seamlessly into their daily life, taking full ownership of their education.

And yes, the curriculum of the doctors must change! Tufan Adiguzel

hi Giuseppe R. Brera

The field of medical education is continuously evolving, and there are ongoing discussions about potential changes to the existing paradigm. According to me the change in medical education needs improvement in some areas which we should include:

It's important to note that any changes to medical education require careful consideration, research, and collaboration among educators, policymakers, and healthcare professionals. The goal is to ensure that medical education prepares students effectively for the challenges and advancements in healthcare while maintaining high standards of patient care.
