| Title | Co-Design of an International Medical Education Program - Towards A More Equitable Partnership |
| Abstract | China has launched ambitious reforms of its medical education with the requirements of "Healthy China 2030". We will describe an international collaboration to create a sustainable, high-calibre medical education, to better serve the health care needs of people in China and to develop high-quality distance learning. The collaboratively developed program is a decolonized, student-centered, integrated body systems and competency based, hybrid digital PBL curriculum that incorporates conventional teaching methods, student presentations, small group discussions, clinical teaching, and Team Based Learning. The program is grounded in the local context considering health needs, incidence of disease, cultural and social issues. Features include early introduction to the practice of medicine, including family and community-based medicine to reinforce students' knowledge application, problem-solving, and clinical competence. There is an emphasis on health systems science and skills such as professionalism, doctor-patient relationship, teamwork, health equity, collaborative multidisciplinary practice, and culturally sensitive communication to provide equitable care in vulnerable communities including an understanding of the ecological, social, economic, and political determinants of health and disease. The program includes a comprehensive monitoring and assessment system and a robust faculty development program to support learning, improve global health outcomes, nurture opportunities for research collaboration and build innovative medical education. |
