Abstract

This chapter discusses the future of health professions education (HPE) curricula using David Kern’s six steps of curriculum development as an organizing principle. It discusses several problems that future healthcare professionals (HCPs) will face including challenges of greater scope, less time, and less resources to promote health and provide patient care. It also discusses the transition from declarative knowledge and rote memorization to more application of information and problem-solving while leveraging the technology at HCPs’ fingertips. There will also be highlights of future technologies that enhance and transform patient care, the massive amounts of data that will be generated, and the future of technology-enabled learning, teaching, and assessment.
