By comparing the Nomads which cross the Gobi desert and the people living high up in the empire state building (or similar). There are typical differences but both are living (even some of them are happy there, where they are.)

There is a saying: Nice is not what is nice, Nice is what you like

Thank you very much Bill. Interesting articles. The introduction of new paradigms must begin, if we talk about Medicine, in the first years of study, since if they are introduced later the resistance to change is greater. Moreover, the introduction of complexity sciences or systemic thinking is still somewhat isolated in Chilean medical schools.

The new technologies are the future challenges for medical as well as for other fields of education:

Complex skills or tasks can be broken into multiple simpler elements to be mastered separately then they are performed together under supervision to ensure proper performance

The exact same question I gave myself while entering biomedical research in 2015. Bellow can be found two major results of my effort to disseminate complex systems aka complexity science into the medical curriculum.

At the place where I worked at that time, there was no interest in this science and its involvement in the medical curriculum.

Despite this, I decided to prepare a poster to a conference and later a paper about complex systems modeling in medicine with selected examples and rich citation apparatus. That all besides my own research on prediction of heart arrhythmias.

The paper is written in the way that it enables mathematicians to understand biology and medicine, physicians and biomedical researchers to understand mathematics, and computer scientists to understand both. The paper distills more than 20 years of my work in the field.

When you wish to implement complexity in the medical curriculum, you can ask me for assistance. We can find some ways to do so. From my point of view, it is very important. I can help to build such a curriculum at your school.

Good luck with your important decision. :-) It can save a lot of lives and revolutionary medicine.
