It's me again to share a little more what I got from WFME World Conference 2025 ka.
1. On the theme of 'Educating the Physicians of the Future', a Medical Futurist, Bertalan Maesko, pointed out 5 aspects to be prepared into the future, comprising patient design with proactive involvement of them, new communication skills/methods with patients, 'trust enough' in the use of AI with its rise, prompt engineering to have enough ability to talk with the tools available, and learning to use digital technologies/smart applications.
2. On curriculum with the ethical use of AI, the Netherlands has come up with its guidelines for faculty and students.
Some examples for faculty are based on assessments on students' competencies so they can't use AI to solve assignments, human assessor on assignments is needed, if unauthorised use of AI is detected, it's considered 'fraud', communication about the purpose of assessment.
For students, I like it as they table out what's 'allowed' and 'not allowed' ka:'Ask Gen AI for an explanation but be aware of correctness or bias!', ask feedback on a text for improvement or use it to generate ideas, 'be transparent of using it (otherwise fraud)'.....focusing so much using AI as a tool to learn better, not to replace it ka. For the 'not allowed', the guidelines include something like, 'Do not ask GenAI to write your essay (integrity)', feeding (confidential) research data or personal data into GenAI, etc.
The guidelines set the understanding and actions straight from day 1 dee ka....sure needs a lot of mutual understanding and effective communication plus monitoring and evaluation na ka.
3. Education for life was a key issue presented by a UCLA professor...didn't jot his name down ka, sorry. He elaborated it as 'learning throughout life, learning to promote and restore healthy lives, and learning to live one's own life.' Two types of competencies are foundational (theories, concepts, etc.) and integrative (more of soft skills like critical thinking and teamwork. Both are bridged by specialized competencies like knowledge, skill set for practices. I liked it when he stressed the importance of interprofessional education in addition to the links among health professionals to include non-professional health workers and non-health professionals working in the health system. This definitely will promote understanding of a big picture and could also encourage DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging) ka...(the medical world uses EDI --Equity, Diversity, Inclusion). I'm glad his talk touched on leadership skills for transformative learning and more on face-to-face instruction.
4. Accreditation has its different approaches under the WFME framework.It's a good way to gain trust from the public yet some countries have too many medical schools to go through expensive charges and processes. So, it's voluntary....certainly with some issues and doubts.
Thailand is fortunate to establish IMEAc (Institute for Medical Education Accreditation). Having been accredited by WFME, it can take steps further to accredit our medical schools with much less cost and within our contexts too ka.
5. One slido question for you to answer ka: 'What do you consider the most important competency will be for a physician in 2050?'
Top 3 were empathy, adaptability and resilience and communication ka.
