When Medical Education Changed: Recent Episodes
Harbortowne Media - Bob Keesecker
’When Medical Education Changed’ is an audiobook podcast of the book ”Western Reserve’s Experiment in Medical Education and Its Outcome.”
Episode 002 comes to you with apologies for four years having passed since the introductory episode. No excuses. Life takes twists and turns. This episode is about the current state of the CWRU School of Medicine and the outstanding progress it has made (during the absence of this podcast, by the way). And away we go. Really.
This podcast is an audio version of the book written in 1980 by Greer Williams called The Western Reserve Experiment in Medical Education - and Its Outcome. Episode one is an introduction to the podcast, a personal overview of what motivated it's development, and a quick overview of the main players in this watershed medical curriculum change. It is an extraordinary moment not only in medical education, but in the art and science of medicine. Its impact was national. Even the Ivy's adopted this change, which is important because their medical educational philosophy was why the physicians came to Cleveland from Harvard to effect this change.
