In the last decade, there has been renewed interest in three-year MD pathway programs. In 2015, with support from the Josiah Macy Jr., Foundation, eight North American medical schools with three-year accelerated medical pathway programs formed the Consortium of Accelerated Medical Pathway Programs (CAMPP). The schools are two campuses of the Medical College of Wisconsin; McMaster University Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine; Mercer University School of Medicine; New York University School of Medicine; Penn State College of Medicine; Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine; University of California, Davis School of Medicine; and University of Louisville School of Medicine. These programs vary in size and medical specialty focus but all include the reduction of student debt from savings in tuition costs. Each school's mission to create a three-year pathway program differs; common themes include the ability to train physicians to practice in underserved areas or to allow students for whom the choice of specialty is known to progress more quickly. Compared with McMaster, these programs are small, but most capitalize on training and assessing competency across the undergraduate medical education-graduate medical education continuum and include conditional acceptance into an affiliated residency program. This article includes an overview of each CAMPP school with attention to admissions, curriculum, financial support, and regulatory challenges associated with the design of an accelerated pathway program. These programs are relatively new, with a small number of graduates; this article outlines opportunities and challenges for schools considering the development of accelerated programs.
在过去十年中，人们对三年制医学博士课程重新产生了兴趣。2015年，在小约西亚·梅西基金会的支持下，八所设有三年制加速医学课程的北美医学院校组成了加速医学课程联盟（CAMPP）。这些学校包括威斯康星医学院的两个校区；麦克马斯特大学迈克尔·G·德格罗特医学院；默瑟大学医学院；纽约大学医学院；宾夕法尼亚州立大学医学院；德克萨斯理工大学健康科学中心医学院；加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校医学院；以及路易斯维尔大学医学院。这些课程在规模和医学专业重点方面各不相同，但都包括通过节省学费来减少学生债务。每所学校创建三年制课程的使命各不相同；共同主题包括培养医生在服务不足地区执业的能力，或者让那些已知专业选择的学生能够更快地进步。与麦克马斯特大学相比，这些课程规模较小，但大多数都利用了本科医学教育-研究生医学教育连续体中的培训和能力评估，并包括有条件地被附属住院医师项目录取。本文概述了每个CAMPP学校的情况，重点关注招生、课程、财政支持以及与加速课程设计相关的监管挑战。这些课程相对较新，毕业生数量较少；本文概述了考虑开发加速课程的学校所面临的机遇和挑战。
