Abstract
During the last three decades, there have been phenomenal advances in medical science and technology to justify equally phenomenal growth in the cost of these developments. The cost of medical education too has increased dramatically, but the ‘product’ of this education has increasingly turned out to be less than his ideals. More dependence on gadgetry has reduced his sense of touch, hearing, and sight, and this loss of feelings extends to his patient who gets more tests and drugs but less caring and consideraion. The ‘consumer’, while paying for the costs, has also, through these decades, become more educated and aware of the quality of the health care systems delivered to him. The medical establishment itself has maintained its masonic image by producing more members in its own image.
We believe that reform is essential and start with medical schools: by renovation of the structure and innovation of methodologies that would maximize the potentials of those that enter its portals.
Keywords: The Basic Philosophy and Developmental Objectives of Medical Education
