The Role of Continuing Medical Education in Increasing Enrollment in Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs.
Abstract PURPOSE: Opioid diversion, misuse, and abuse are rapidly growing problems in the United States; >60% of all drug overdose deaths involve an opioid.

Characterizing the literature on validity and assessment in medical education: a  bibliometric study
DiscussionLiterature reporting on validation of assessments in medical education is heterogeneous. Literature is produced by a  broad array of authors and collaborative networks, reported to a broad audience, and is primarily generated in North American and European contexts. Our findings speak to the heterogeneity of the medical education literature on assessment validation, and suggest that this heterogeneity may stem, at least in part, from differences in constructs measured, assessment purposes, or conceptualizations of validity.

Applying North American medical education accreditation standards internationally in the United Arab Emirates
CONCLUSIONS: Our analysis demonstrates that the LCME accreditation standards are model-specific and can be effectively applied internationally in programs that follow the North American model of medical education. Countries in which no specialized medical education accrediting body exists can apply the LCME standards and achieve international benchmarks of quality in medical education through rigorous self-assessment and continuous quality improvement.PMID:35341472 | DOI:10.1080/10872981.2022.2057790

A progressive three-phase innovation to medical education in the United States.
Authors: Pfeifer CM Abstract The practice of medicine has changed greatly over the past 100 years, yet the structure of undergraduate medical education has evolved very little. Many schools have modified their curricula to incorporate problem-based learning and organ systems-based curricula, but few schools have adequately addressed rising tuition costs. Undergraduate medical education has become cost-prohibitive for students interested in primary care. In the meanwhile, the concept of a separate dedicated intern year is outdated and mired in waste despite remaining a requirement for several hospital-based and sur...
