Why is Medical Education Mired in the Eighteenth Century? Let's Discuss Inquiry-Based Learning in Medical Education
In the year 2020, it is estimated that it will only take 73 days for the volume of medical knowledge to double. As far back as 1899, Sir William Osler understood medical knowledge was surpassing the ability of faculty to teach students “everything” they would need to know. Osler advocated that lectures should be “abolished” and students be given more time to study while allowing faculty to observe and guide their training. Simple rote recall is clearly not feasible, so the question becomes how medical educators prepare future providers to have both a foundation of knowledge and critical thinking skills.

As educators, we use cases to teach constantly. What methods are we using and how can we use it best? This session will discuss the use of case-based learning and other techniques in teaching/learning based on best practice of learning from cases whether in the clinic in the present, typical of clinical setting, reflections on past cases, or evolving cases. Further discussion will be related to the impact of these methodologies for students and what techniques can contribute to maximizing the effectiveness of the use of case learning.
