The future of professional medical and surgical residency education is
one that is on the mind of all physicians and surgeons today. The
increasing amount of information that requires dissemination and the
need for standardization is often at odds with different models and
programmatic cultures. How to standardize and how to improve? To that
end, we will discuss this with one of the leading thinkers in this
area today, John Steinberg.
Dr. Steinberg is a Podiatric Surgeon and is Assistant Professor in
the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Georgetown
University School of Medicine. His career has been a stellar one, from
his early work at the University of Texas through to his current work
in Georgetown, it has been punctuated by advances in Education. He is
presently Editor of PRESENTS, a podiatric foot and ankle education
program that has standardized didactics at more than 100 residency
training programs, nationwide.
