If we expect there to be more clinician leaders innovating and advancing care delivery, we need to better equip physicians with skillsets beyond clinical care.
As far as making room for this stuff, I actually do think some of the memorizing of esoteric facts should be removed. In fact, the volume of information has grown so much, I think the way we learn and use information probably needs to be rethought even for stuff that is less esoteric. In the not so distant future, we will need to know how to feed machines information and use what is spit back to us rather than be processing the information ourselves.
Online courses through platforms like edX and Coursera are a great way to build discrete skills without having to commit to an entire degree or certificate program!
Every physician executive needs to be upskilling to learn to apply their medical knowledge in corporate settings.
