Education
Student Centered Learning:
Harden highlighted that the importance of student-centered learning as being
pivotal to thinking about learning and teaching suggested that medical institutions
includes a bank of learning objects (e.g. X- ray images, videos) ,curricula maps,
virtual patients and guided learning that is responsive to the learning needs of the
individual students.

Adaptive Curriculum:
• An adaptive curriculum modifies and personalizes learning by designing teaching
and learning experiences in response to the specific needs of the individual
students.
• Harden explained the concepts of “just for me learning” and “just in time
learning” are accommodated by technology when the learner is ready the
teacher will appear via technology.
Future Directions for Nursing
Education
Teaching Innovations:
Innovation in medical education extend to curriculum technology
assessment and professionalism. The curriculum model of the future should
be student centered problem or task based, inter professional,community
based and elective driven with core and student selected components.

System Approach:
Artez stressed the need for medical education programmes for to prepare
graduates who are responsible to both for the health system in which they
will function and needs of patient they will treat. Currently medical students
spends most time in teaching hospitals but they will eventually work in the
community, where most patients present are treated.
Future Directions for Nursing
Education
Fitness to Practice:
According to Walton, fitness to practice is an issue with which all
medical schools are currently grappling overall we are probably
handling the issues of knowledge and skills quite well.

Medical Education Research:

In order to validate the effectiveness of new teaching approaches
medical education research must emphasis appropriate methodology.

readable notes on the computers’ main system.
• At patient’s bed-side, we can get chemistry, hematology with a small hand-
held device that required no blood. We just need to place the sensor on
the patient’s skin, and we have the auto-results.
• Most diagnosis will have a system for auto care plans upon patient
admission.
 • The vision for nursing in the 21st century is the
development of scientific knowledge base that
enables nurses to implement on evidence-based
practice.
