Rare disease education in medical schools: patient-centered and innovative strategies
Patient panels improved students' understanding of the RD patient experience. Beyond patient panels, effective approaches in RD education in undergraduate medical curricula included lectures, case studies, role-playing simulations, artificial intelligence, and more. The authors hope medical schools will continue to implement RD education into their curricula.
