The curriculum for the year 2000.
Emerging public health problems, alterations in the nature of the medical profession and changes in individual student and practitioner needs are identified. The implications of these developments for modification of the content, organization, setting and instructional strategy of the medical education programme are discussed. A model for systematic consideration of societal, professional and individual needs in curricular reform is proposed and a strategy for change is suggested.
