The Future of Medical Education: Balancing In-Person and Webcast Instruction

Moderator: Sandra Pfister, PhD

The trend for more webcast vs in-person instruction for medical school pre-clinical curriculum has increased since the COVID-19 pandemic forced the shift to on-line learning (Zhang et al; Howard et al). As the curriculum was developed for Phase 1 (pre-clinical) at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW), webcast delivery for much of the content was supported and encouraged. In the cardiovascular block, the goal was to find the right mix of in-person delivery of content with webcast delivery. In first rendition of course, approximately 66% of content was delivered in-person. This may or may not mirror instruction in other Phase 1 blocks. The panel discussion will critically examine the effectiveness, benefits and drawbacks of both modalities as medical education continues to adapt more on-line learning.

OSCE or NotSCE: Realities, Possibilities and Limitations of OSCE Assessments

Facilitators: Erica Chou, MD; April Zehm, MD; Carley Sauter, MD; Tavinder Ark, PhD Medical College of Wisconsin

Objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) are effective for assessing students’ integrated clinical skills. Successful development and execution of OSCEs requires understanding of clinical skill milestones, logistical planning, simulation center resources, and robust data analytics. Presenters will share lessons learned from MCWfusion’s Phase 1 OSCE implementation, challenges, and future development plans.
