Abstract

Twenty-first century medical education will be dramatically improved by our rapidly evolving understanding of how to more efficiently, effectively and affordably train future health care providers. The following describes a paradigm that uses Blue Ocean Strategies in training osteopathic physicians and thus, rapidly differentiates osteopathic medical education from contemporary approaches to medical education. By replacing the current medical education system with this model, osteopathic medical education is provided an opportunity to emerge as the standard for training future health care providers.
