Traditional British undergraduate medical education has evolved with the development of medicine as a profession. However, despite dramatic progress in the provision of healthcare, the medical curriculum has remained mostly unchanged until recently. Conventional medical courses rely on the teacher-centred didactic setting of a lecture theatre to transmit vast quantities of information. This one-way traffic of facts is divided initially into the preclinical basic sciences and later into the medical specialties, with relatively little horizontal or vertical integration. Much of the assessment of students relies on their reproducing information as accurately as possible. This traditional format has been widely criticised (Lowry, 1992).

Education should be practiced with attention to principles derived from both the research in medical education and the practical experience of health professions instructors. The authors summarize both the major questions addressed by researchers in medical education during recent years and some of the answers. This paper is divided into four major categories of questions that correspond to the areas of an instructor's responsibility: 1) curricular trends, 2) instruction, 3) evaluation of learners, and 4) evaluation of teaching. It focuses largely on the undergraduate medical curriculum, although many of the conclusions could be applied to graduate education as well.

Medical schooling, at least as structured in the United States and Canada, is commonly assembled intuitively or empirically to meet concrete goals. Despite a long history of scholarship in educational theory to address how people learn, this is rarely examined during medical curriculum design. We provide a historical perspective on educational theory–practice–philosophy and a tool to aid faculty in learning how to identify and use theory–practice–philosophy for the design of curriculum and instruction.
