Discover a revolutionary and novel way to teach medicine

In Revolutionizing Medical Education, the founding Deans of the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, Drs. David L. Battinelli and Lawrence G. Smith, share their groundbreaking approach to preparing physicians for modern healthcare. The authors draw on over four combined decades of experience in medical education reform, revealing how they closed the rapidly expanding gap between advanced medical science and outdated educational methods.

The book chronicles the complete transformation of medical education through strategies that integrate science and humanism from day one. It details Battinelli and Smith’s bold decision to challenge traditional grades, replacing multiple-choice exams with essay assessments, oral exams, real patients, and realistic simulations. You’ll learn about how they connect students directly with patients via accelerated EMT training and how their collaborative active learning pedagogy and successes have attracted visiting faculty and administrators from over 50 medical schools around the world.

You’ll discover:

A transformative curriculum that connects students with real patients from day one through integrated EMT training and hundreds of hours of clinical practice How the limitation of grades and class rankings in favor of collaborative learning and robust formative assessments that mirror real-world medical practice better instils confidence and competence A replacement of traditional rote memorization with essay-based assessments, high-fidelity simulation experiences, and real practice assessments A holistic integration of science and humanism that enhances student engagement, wellbeing, and learning outcomes

Perfect for medical educators, administrators, faculty members, and healthcare leaders looking for an actionable blueprint to transform their own institutions, Revolutionizing Medical Education explains the evidence-based education methods you can implement right now that prepare physicians to diagnose and heal with scientific expertise and human compassion.
