Across 41 chapters, an international group of contributors sets out a possible future for one aspect of medical training — from undergraduate and postgraduate curricula to clinical skills, assessment, and the wellbeing of learners — along with the enabling factors, the barriers in the way, and practical suggestions for working past them. The stated aim, in the editors’ own words, is to help “prepare future doctors for modern medicine” while giving educators, institutional leaders, and policy-makers tools to begin changing their own practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e41 chapters organised around the full arc of medical training, built for direct use by three groups: (1) curriculum committees redesigning undergraduate and postgraduate programmes toward flexible, competency-based, lifelong-learning models; (2) faculty-development leads building continuing professional development pathways for educators and structuring simulation- and workshop-based teaching; and (3) institutional leadership and policy-makers planning for medical education in resource-constrained settings and across interprofessional teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoverage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUndergraduate and postgraduate curriculum design; interprofessional education; clinical skills education and assessment; non-technical skills, professionalism and e-professionalism; reflective practice and mindfulness in training; simulation-based education; personalised and lifelong learning; behavioural economics applied to medical education; and medical education in resource-constrained settings, among further chapters covering the learning environment, educator competency development, and the future purpose of medical training.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Sandars is based in Medical Education at Edge Hill University, UK.

This volume gives medical education libraries and faculty development offices a single reference that maps the full training pipeline — from undergraduate curriculum to continuing professional development — with practical, implementation-focused chapters rather than purely theoretical ones. For academic health science libraries, it is a direct addition to core holdings in medical education and faculty development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeywords\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003emedical education, medical curriculum, competency-based education, clinical skills training, simulation-based learning, interprofessional education, medical teaching and learning, continuing professional development, healthcare workforce training, medical school curriculum reform\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarget Audience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedical educators, healthcare educators, medical school deans and curriculum leaders, medical students, academic and medical school libraries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedical Education, Clinical Practice, Healthcare Education\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ\u0026amp;A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Modern Medical Education: Preparing for the Future cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt covers the full span of medical training — undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum design, clinical skills, assessment, simulation, interprofessional education, and faculty development — across 41 chapters edited by John Sandars, Shabih Zaidi, and Ali N.
