“…Other missions include developing a workforce plan that improves physician geographic distribution through community engagement and collaboration [6]; addressing physician specialty shortages such as primary care and psychiatry; targeting/streamlining training for subspecialties [7]; and focusing on care for specific populations such as Native American or inner city urban poor [8]. The mission may also specifically target the cost of medical training by reducing the overall tuition [3]. …”

“…The 2010 Carnegie Report recommended competency-based and individualized education, including the option of fast tracking medical education. Rising student debt and the expectation for a shortage of physicians have reinvigorated interest in three-year accelerated MD programs [3]. In 2014, 35% of US medical school deans reported interest in developing an accelerated program [4].…”

Medical education is undergoing significant transformation. Many medical schools are moving away from the concept of seat time to competency-based education and introducing flexibility in the curriculum that allows individualization. In response to rising student debt and the anticipated physician shortage, 35% of US medical schools are considering the development of accelerated pathways. The roadmap described in this paper is grounded in the experiences of the Consortium of Accelerated Medical Pathway Programs (CAMPP) members in the development, implementation, and evaluation of one type of accelerated pathway: the three-year MD program. Strategies include developing a mission that guides curricular development – meeting regulatory requirements, attaining institutional buy-in and resources necessary to support the programs, including student assessment and mentoring – and program evaluation. Accelerated programs offer opportunities to innovate and integrate a mission benefitting students and the public.

“…14 The Alliance for Clinical Education has published a statement providing guidance to medical educators on expectations for medical students documenting in EHRs. 22 As the economic climate has prompted re-evaluation of the cost and duration of medical education, 23 , 24 IM faculty should strive to offer flexibility and adapt the subinternship curriculum to current and future changes in medical education. While these new guidelines aim for closer alignment of subinternship and residency expectations, we recognize that any curricular reform may limit flexibility, and thus, we have left many suggested requirements adaptable to specific institutions and situations.…”

“…Some institutions are considering innovative approaches, such as reducing the duration of undergraduate medical education from 4 to 3 years. Not only does this approach decrease debt by 25 %, but it also increases the earning capacity of graduates with an additional year of income [12]. Others have suggested shortening the length of graduate medical education training by 1 year, which would also increase the total number of residency positions available; this strategy has the added benefit of addressing the impending shortage of residency positions in the USA [13].…”
