Introduction: In this study, it is aimed to contribute to the persistence of the basic medical sciences education given in medical faculties, how much it can be integrated into clinical science practices and to the development of education. Materials and Methods: The study was planned in a descriptive type and a questionnaire was applied to collect the data. The population of the study consisted of medical faculty graduates and there was no limitation in the selection of the sample. The level of agreement with the statements was graded from 1 to 5 with Likert-type scaling. In the study with a total of 205 participants, numbers and percentages were used for the data. Results: Of the physicians 59.5% stated that the basic medical sciences courses they took were not sufficient and permanent for their professional life, 69.74% of them stated that the course topics in basic medical sciences education are too detailed, 60.48% of them stated they could not integrate the education they received in basic medical sciences into clinical sciences, 82.91% stated that it would be more beneficial to give basic medicine and clinical medical sciences courses simultaneously, and 86.82% of them stated that the technology-adapted auxiliary course tools will increase the quality of basic medical education. Conclusion: In today's world where important developments are experienced in medical education, innovations are needed in order to train physicians in the best way. For this, it is necessary to work on a system in which basic medicine and clinical medical sciences are integrated, the course curriculum is revised and a strong technological infrastructure is provided.

Objective: There are growing concerns towards the quality of medical education in Pakistan. To help strengthen accreditation processes, this study identifies the challenges towards quality assurance of Basic Medical Education in Pakistan. Methods: A qualitative case study was carried out from March to August 2018. Participants included inspectors from various disciplines in both public and private medical colleges, and medical educationists from Pakistan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 inspectors, while focus group discussion included 10 medical educationists. All the interviews were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was conducted to capture the intricacies of meaning within the data. Results: Data identified 14 sub-themes grouped under three major themes. Challenges towards quality assurance included mounting political influence, commercialism in medical education, weak regulatory capacity of accrediting body, violation of rules, lack of valid accreditation standards and skilled inspectors. Conclusion: Quality assurance of Basic Medical Education in Pakistan involves various systemic, resource and personnel related challenges. The accrediting body needs to bring major reforms in its accreditation system and strengthen its regulatory and technical educational capacity to ensure the quality of medical education in nearly 168 medical and dental colleges of the country. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.2.1319 How to cite this:Khan AW, Sethi A, Wajid G, Yasmeen R .

Accreditation Criteria

This review presents information on changes in the accreditation standards of medical schools in Korea by the Korean Institute of Medical Education and Evaluation (KIMEE) from 2000 to 2019. Specifically, the following aspects are explained: the development process, setting principles and directions, evaluation items, characteristics of the standards, and validity testing over the course of 4 cycles. The first cycle of accreditation (2000–2005) focused on ensuring the minimum requirements for the educational environment. The evaluation criteria emphasized the core elements of medical education, including facilities and human resources. The second cycle of accreditation (2007–2010) emphasized universities’ commitment to social accountability and the pursuit of excellence in medical education. It raised the importance of qualitative standards for judging the content and quality of education. In the post-second accreditation cycle (2012–2018) which means third accreditation cycle, accreditation criteria were developed to standardize the educational environment and programs and to be used for curriculum development in order to continually improve the quality of basic medical education. Most recently, the ASK 2019 (Accreditation Standards of KIMEE 2019) accreditation cycle focused on qualitative evaluations in accordance with the World Federation of Medical Education’s accreditation criteria to reach the international level of basic medical education, which emphasizes the need for a student-centered curriculum, communication with society, and evaluation through a comprehensive basic medical education course. The KIMEE has developed a basic medical education evaluation and accreditation system in a step-by-step manner, as outlined above. Understanding previous processes will be helpful for the future development of accreditation criteria for medical schools in Korea.
