Reflections on Medical Education Seminars and Workshops Over 26 years at Nihon University School of Medicine

Abstract

Few studies have been published about faculty medical education seminars and workshops. We retrospectively analyzed 62 workshops and 14 seminars held at Nihon University School of Medicine between 1985 and 2010. During the 26 year period, we had over 1531 participants. The topics, such as problem-based learning methodology, curriculum planning, and multiple-choice question development reflect the current medical education trends in Japan during that period.
