[How urgent is the need to reform medical education?].
Many proposals regarding reforms of our health services pertain to the organization, financing and material and technical equipment of health departments. But many people forget that the causes of inadequate meeting of health needs of individuals and society are much more profound. The present article draws attention to the urgent need of reforms of the medical curriculum at medical faculties and postgraduate institutes. The core of the problem are rigid forms of teaching and the absolute predominance of biomedical and technological aspects of training over psychosocial and sociooecological aspects of training of future doctors. The submitted paper refers to attitudes and recommendations of WHO and other international organizations concerned with medical training.
