Rigorous accreditation of medical institutions – The need of the hour
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Public Health - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
The goal of medical education is to create doctors who have the necessary knowledge, skills and aptitude to fulfil the healthcare needs of the society, while upholding the dignity of the profession. A Five Star doctor (a learner and researcher, a teacher, a service provider, a manager and a leader) is expected to emerge from the medical college and preside over health care provision. In recent years there have been concerns about the quality and competencies of medical graduates, most common culprits being dubious admission procedures, insufficient clinical material, non-uniform and unreliable university assessment procedures, outdated pedagogical tools, faculty deficits and lack of research environment
