| Popis: | Introduction: Accreditation is necessary to maintain the quality of medical education. It requires official bodies to authorize the accreditation; recognized standards against which the medical school can be judged; and a robust process. Effects of accreditation: Accreditation may have positive effects on medical education. The impact of the publication of the General Medical Council recommendations in Tomorrow's Doctors provides a good example. In contrast, out-of-date requirements may inhibit developments in medical schools. Role of accreditation authorities: If accreditation authorities are to provide leadership in medical education they must undertake regular review of their standards. This should be informed by all stakeholders and include experts in medical education. The format of the standards must provide clear direction to medical schools. Accreditation should take place regularly and should result in the production of a publicly accessible report. |
