[Notes on the visitation of medical schools in 1997].
The members of the Visitation Committee who audited the medical education process in the Netherlands carefully formed their opinions based on a vast amount of information. Their judgement can be considered fair and well-balanced. Several critical remarks were made, especially on the coaching of students during their internships. The scientific education was also found wanting. Some faculties were given bad marks, and scores of recommendations were made. Surprisingly, however, the committee was of the opinion that students graduating from all faculties were equally and sufficiently competent to enter the medical workforce. It is recommended that next time this audit process be carried out on a much smaller scale.
