A hundred years after the Flexner report laid the foundation for modern medical education, a number of authors commemorated the occasion by commenting on how the medical education system had to change once more to serve 21st century patients. Experts called for standardized outcomes and individualized learner pathways, integration of material across traditional areas, attention to an environment of inquiry, and professional identity formation. The medical education community responded and much has been achieved in the last decade, but much work remains to be done. In this paper we outline how the American Medical Association Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium, launched in 2013 through significant funding of transformation projects in undergraduate medical education, expanded its work into graduate medical education, and we look to the future of innovation in medical education.
