Medical education has evolved over time toward a model which integrates clinical medicine with the basic sciences. More recently, medical education has put an emphasis on outcome-based education. Other areas of health care education have had a similar emphasis which can provide models to inform a new model for medical education. The Roseman University of Health Sciences has developed and implemented a model based on underlying tenets of mastery learning since 1999. The model has been implemented in pharmacy, nursing, and dental education. It was conceived as an integration of 6 key points which reinforce each other and interrelate to support learning. The model has been modified for application to medical education in support of medical education’s outcome-based emphasis and to address the educational demands of the changing environment of the practice of medicine.
