Medical school deans and curriculum committees
Planning the transition of a traditional medical school curriculum to an online or blended format.
This 68-node mind map, 'Transition of Medical School Courses to Online Formats', provides a research-backed framework for medical educators and administrators planning the shift to digital delivery. It covers five major branches: Online Education, Student Retention, Online Enrollment Growth in the United States, New Online Programs within Schools of Medicine, and Models for Developing Sustainable Online Programs. Key nodes include 'Traditional, blended, online' course formats, 'Attrition Risk Factors' for both traditional and online students, and 'Faculty recruitment and retention' as a sustainability pillar. The template synthesizes over 30 cited studies, from Triola et al. (2012) on growth in the past decade to Lockyer et al. (2006) on transitioning on-campus programs. It serves as both a strategic planning tool and a literature review cheat sheet for anyone navigating the online transformation of medical education.
