Modern medical education is evolving alongside modern medicine
The EXCEMED Method of transformational medical education takes healthcare professionals on a Learning Journey where the ultimate destination is better outcomes for patients.
EXCEMED Learning Journeys take participants along a trajectory lasting several months with three distinct phases: online preparatory tutorials, followed by an live intervention, and concluding with in-depth tutorials to reinforce what has been learned.
Education and training of healthcare professionals must be suited to the times. The passive, slow, expensive and learner satisfaction-focused traditional model of medical education has progressed to a self-paced, low-cost and elective digital approach.
EXCEMED surpasses the digital approach to medical education by taking a bold step further with its Transformational Learning model.
This approach injects new meaning into the learning process by combining the traditional, digital and the interpersonal. In Transformational Learning, the most important metric is change in clinical practice.
Achieving meaning is a key tenet of Transformational Learning. Knowledge gained through meaningful learning allows healthcare professionals to be fully engaged in their own educational process so that they understand how all the pieces of a concept fit together.
Education built for learner engagement
EXCEMED curricula are presented in a variety of formats, from large-scale international conferences to regional workshops, to hands-on training. In each context, educational experiences are personalized, interactive and produce measurable outcomes, including a view to changes in daily clinical practice.
Educational design that prioritizes interaction is key for facilitating learner engagement. EXCEMED focuses on:
- encouraging reflection on clinical practice
- giving the opportunity to put skills into practice
- allowing learners direct access to faculty
- helping learners see the difference between current practice and standards yet to be achieved
- analyzing measureable outcomes among learners
