Abstract:
The 2022 revision of the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education by the Japan Society for Medical Education was based on several data sets including academic papers and survey results. It is recommended that the formation of a team consisting of diverse attributes, sufficient discussion using a web conference system, smooth communication between the government and academic societies, and dialogue with organizations related to medical education be continued in the next revision. On the other hand, collaboration and communication with academic societies in specialized fields is an issue for the future. Although the revised Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education is the product of the collective wisdom of experts in medical education in Japan in the early 2020s, it is by no means a legal mandate imposed by the state, nor does it force faculty members of each university to follow it blindly. We hope that those involved in medical education will use this Model Core Curriculum, which was prepared with an eye to society 20 years from now, as a reference guide, and at the same time, we hope that those involved in education in the field will implement the updated guidelines while sometimes questioning them.
