Description
In recent years there have been a number of changes in teaching methods and subjects employed in medical education. Advances in information technology have changed the way knowledge is prepared and presented. With a wider range of jobs available to medical graduates, there is an increasing need for the teaching of transferable and interpersonal skills and preparing graduates for taking responsibility for their life long learning. Inclusion of new teaching subjects into the curriculae requires different teaching methods such as small group teaching and the facilitation of peer learning. Teachers will be expected to be able to meet the needs of the new curricula and to comply with a certain standard of teaching.
