[Reform of medical education as an international trend]
1Pathologisch-Bakteriologischen Institut Krankenhauses Wien-Lainz.
Abstract:
The strengths and weaknesses of the present Austrian Medical Curriculum are compared with other systems. The medical curriculum is part of the educational system and must be seen in that context. The goal is the qualitative and quantitative fulfillment of the manpower needs of the health system. Graduation should follow proper practical training, not only in universities, but also in the community setting. Personal contact on all levels must complement and supersede "multiple choice" thinking. Austrian should not just follow foreign models, but lead the international reform movement in medical education.
