Abstract
Medical school faculty members are
charged with the critical responsibility of
preparing the future physician and medical
scientist workforce. Recent reports suggest
that medical school curricula have not kept
pace with societal needs and that medical
schools are graduating students who lack
the knowledge and skills needed to
practice effectively in the 21st century. The
majority of faculty members want to be
effective teachers and graduate wellprepared medical students, but multiple
and complex factors curricular, cultural,

Curriculum sequencing
The traditional medical student
curriculum is structurally disjointed.
Cooke and colleagues14 emphasize that
basic science faculty often teach the
discipline-based courses (anatomy,
physiology, microbiology, etc.) with little
coordination or reference to clinical
relevance. They note that basic science
and clinical faculty do not always know
what the other faculty are teaching, which
leaves students to determine for
themselves the content relationships
across domains and the relevance of
various subjects to patient care. One
critical consequence of the lack of
structure is a loss in the continuity of
exposure to the same faculty. The
random sequencing of clinical
experiences inherent in clinical education
makes for chaotic and inconsistent
learning. Faculty members need time
with their learners to know their
capabilities, to reinforce strengths, and to
address weaknesses. Time together is
critical to establish the teacherstudent
