In April 2015, the Institute of Medicine convened a public workshop to explore recent shifts in the health and health care industry and their implications for health professional education (HPE) and workforce learning. This study serves as a follow-up to the 2009 Lancet Commission report on health professions education for the 21st century and seeks to expand the report's messages beyond medicine, nursing, and public health. Envisioning the Future of Health Professional Education discusses opportunities for new platforms of communication and learning, continuous education of the health workforce, opportunities for team-based care and other types of collaborations, and social accountability of the health professions. This study explores the implications that shifts in health, policy, and the health care industry could have on HPE and workforce learning, identifies learning platforms that could facilitate effective knowledge transfer with improved quality and efficiency, and discusses opportunities for building a global health workforce that understands the role of culture and health literacy in perceptions and approaches to health and disease.Table of ContentsFront MatterIntroduction1 Building the Health Workforce2 Curriculum Redesign and Restructuring3 A Changing Health Workforce4 Building a Global Health WorkforceAppendix A: Workshop AgendaAppendix B: Gaming Arcade Submission DescriptionsAppendix C: Abstracts of the April 24, 2015, Webcast SessionAppendix D: Speaker Biographical Sketches
