Background:
In recent years, following public expectations for high quality medical care and a teaching system that can adapt to public needs, changes are being implemented in medical education. The Scientific Council of the Israeli Medical Association (IMA) is responsible, under the Physicians Ordinance, for the planning and supervision of the physicians' specialization system in Israel and promotes post graduate medical education of the highest quality for the advancement of medicine in Israel. In this issue, we highlight the key goals of medical education: knowledge acquisition, skills imparting and application of professional values, as well as the different tasks the Scientific Council has undertaken in order to advance them. This issue includes reports discussing amendments to specialization programs, creation of new specialties, changes to board certification examinations and accrediting and overseeing professional training. In addition, the issue will emphasize the significant changes being made in medical education in Israel while implementing Competency Based Medical Education (CBME).
