Clinical Education: Origins and Outcomes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation ((CHS))

Abstract

This opening chapter is an indictment of traditional clinical education in the health professions. Traditional clinical education in the health professions is not effective to achieve goals of skill acquisition, use, and maintenance by individuals or teams. The chapter argues from evidence that the time honored “see one, do one, teach one” approach to clinical education—the so-called apprenticeship model—for doctors, nurses, and other health professionals is obsolete. Introductory framing remarks and an example of medical education featuring mastery learning compared to traditional medical education are followed by three chapter sections: (a) historical origins of clinical education; (b) current state-of-affairs in clinical education including uneven educational opportunities, learner evaluation and feedback, and clinical practice outcomes; and (c) new directions for clinical education, namely, the learning sciences, active learning, deliberate practice, reliable measurement with feedback, and mastery learning.
