IT IS a year and a half since the World Conference on Medical Education was held in London. Soon after the sessions a number of journals carried short reports of the meetings or abstracts of some of the speeches. This conference was too significant to be quickly forgotten. Fortunately the entire proceedings are now available in book form under the title First World Conference on Medical Education published by the Oxford University Press. It should be in every medical school library. There probably will be other international conferences on medical education in the future. I would like to urge that medical schools make it possible for their younger teachers to attend such a conference.

Admission Policies

The winds of change world-wide have swept medical education in the last fifteen years. Today, Australia's medicalstudents are older and drawn from more diverse socio-economic, ethnic and geographic backgrounds than twenty yearsago, and there is now an equal mix of men and women in medical school. Admission policies have been rewritten tobroaden access with a range of entry options now available including direct entry from high school and graduate entryfollowing a first degree. Curricula have been revised and modes of learning transformed. This paper describes thesechanges and discusses the implications for medical schools and for planning the future workforce.

Remote Learning

As UK medical students, we recently completed 3 months of remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before taking online end-of-the-year exams. We are now entering our final year of medical school. Based on our experiences and our understanding of others’ experiences, we believe that three key lessons have been universal for medical students around the world. The lessons learned throughout this process address the need for a fair system for medical students, the importance of adaptability in all aspects of medical education, and the value of a strong medical school community. These lessons can be applied in the years to come to improve medical education as we know it.

School Accreditation

ABSTRACT Certification by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG®) is required for international medical graduates (IMGs) to enter U.S. graduate medical education (GME). As a gatekeeper to the U.S. health care system, ECFMG has a duty to verify that these individuals have met minimum standards for undergraduate medical education. Historically, ECFMG has focused on evaluating individual graduates, not medical schools. However, in response to the rapid growth of medical schools around the world and increasing physician migration, ECFMG decided in 2010 to institute medical school accreditation as a future requirement for ECFMG certification. More specifically, beginning in 2023, individuals applying for ECFMG certification will be required to be a student or graduate of a medical school that is accredited by an agency recognized by the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). By requiring accreditation by an agency that has met WFME's standards, ECFMG seeks to improve the quality, consistency and transparency of undergraduate medical education worldwide. The 2023 Medical School Accreditation Requirement is intended to stimulate global accreditation efforts, increase the information publicly available about medical schools, and provide greater assurance to medical students, regulatory authorities, and the public that these future physicians will be appropriately educated.
