The Promise, Pitfalls, and Practicalities of Precision Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Precision education is a relatively new concept in medical education that incorporates elements of community-centered practice, continuous quality improvement, and competency-based medical education and is fueled by frequent, reliable, unbiased data on learner performance. Precision education has been described as "the next era of medical education." However, the concept of precision education remains unfamiliar to many physicians, and the cost and expertise associated with precision education pose a substantial barrier to its adoption. This review aims to support educators and leaders in obstetrics and gynecology to better understand precision education and to provide practical, cost-effective precision education strategies that can be implemented into obstetrics and gynecology clinical education programs.
