AMA announced on Tuesday that five additional medical schools have joined its Accelerating Change in Medical Education consortium, bringing the total number of institutions to 37.

The 37-member consortium will support training for an estimated 24,000 medical students who will one day care for 41 million patients annually, according to the AMA.

\u201cWorking together, we have already made significant progress toward preparing future physicians to provide care in the modern, technology-driven healthcare environment,\u201d said AMA President-elect Patrice Harris, MD, in a written statement. \u201cKnowing that our work is far from complete, we are excited to welcome five additional medical schools to our community as we promote innovation to tackle the biggest challenges in healthcare.\u201d

The new consortium members, who have made a three-year commitment, include:

\u00b7 Stanford University School of Medicine

\u00b7 University of California, Irvine School of Medicine

\u00b7 University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine

\u00b7 University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine

\u00b7 Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine

Launched in 2013, the Accelerating Change in Medical Education initiative is an attempt to \u201cbridge the gaps that exist between how medical students are trained and how healthcare is delivered in the modern healthcare system,\u201d contends the AMA.

For example, Emory University School of Medicine\u2014a member of the AMA consortium\u2014developed standardized education in quality improvement and patient safety.

The innovative curricula the 37-member consortium are focusing on developing include new projects such as equipping physicians to help patients better navigate digital health technology, as well as using virtual reality technology to address social determinants of health and improve the quality of care.

Ultimately, the goal is to implement the education innovations in medical schools across the country.","saveContent":"An American Medical Association consortium focused on developing a modernized curriculum to better prepare future physicians for the 21st century healthcare system continues to gain momentum.
