[Pro and contra discussion about medical education].
Since the end of the last century, medical education is being renewed in many countries. There is a tendency toward integration of clinical and preclinical knowledge, presentation of basic science topics as themes of organ systems in conjunction with clinical cases, emphasis on professional attitude, context-related and small-scale learning and the own responsibility of the student. As a contribution to the discussion, the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde (Dutch Journal of Medicine) and the Tijdschrift voor Medisch Onderwijs (Dutch Journal of Medical Education) have decided to publish articles in a pro and contra format.
