Training for medical teachers: a UK survey, 1993.
Opportunities and resources for training of medical teachers have been criticized in recent UK reports. A survey of undergraduate and postgraduate medical deans showed that training courses were available at most institutions, though only a few were specifically designed for medical teachers. Many new and specific courses are being planned and many new appointments are being made in medical education at both medical school and postgraduate levels. While the outcome of greater resources for training of medical education cannot yet be determined, we conclude that criticisms are being speedily addressed.
