Question
Asked 2 October 2019
How to effectively introduce the teaching of complexity sciences in the curriculum of a medical school?
The complexity is raised as an important question of how to implement it in the curriculum of the medical schools of Chile and the world
Most recent answer
In other words look for the invariant features across disciplines with respect to complex systems and start there equipping them for new investigations that perhaps already have their precedence in other disciplines

By comparing the Nomads which cross the Gobi desert and the people living high up in the empire state building (or similar). There are typical differences but both are living (even some of them are happy there, where they are.)

Thank you very much Bill. Interesting articles. The introduction of new paradigms must begin, if we talk about Medicine, in the first years of study, since if they are introduced later the resistance to change is greater. Moreover, the introduction of complexity sciences or systemic thinking is still somewhat isolated in Chilean medical schools.

The exact same question I gave myself while entering biomedical research in 2015. Bellow can be found two major results of my effort to disseminate complex systems aka complexity science into the medical curriculum.
At the place where I worked at that time, there was no interest in this science and its involvement in the medical curriculum.
Despite this, I decided to prepare a poster to a conference and later a paper about complex systems modeling in medicine with selected examples and rich citation apparatus. That all besides my own research on prediction of heart arrhythmias.
The paper is written in the way that it enables mathematicians to understand biology and medicine, physicians and biomedical researchers to understand mathematics, and computer scientists to understand both. The paper distills more than 20 years of my work in the field.
When you wish to implement complexity in the medical curriculum, you can ask me for assistance. We can find some ways to do so. From my point of view, it is very important. I can help to build such a curriculum at your school.

You can ask more.
Good luck with your important decision. :-) It can save a lot of lives and revolutionary medicine.

Study heart EEGs and their patterns and how they have structural similarities with weather phenomenon and stock volatility. Lorenz and others like Feigenbaum pointed to signatures of chaos and complexity that should be present in biomedical phenomenon as it is fundamentally a physical-chemical phenomenon
