description Implication Statement Enacting change in medical education requires effective facilitation processes. Medical education lags behind other fields in systems innovation and radically disruptive approaches to the challenges we encounter. Design thinking “sprints,” widely used in many other settings, serve as an opportunity to fill the gap as a facilitation process during periods requiring extensive and/or rapid change.

A more widespread, adoption can contribute to innovation within all aspects of education including curriculum design, policy development, and educational process renewal.
