title: Medical education in Jordan.
abstract: Jordan is an Arabic, Middle Eastern country that has recently experienced great development in healthcare and education. This development has happened in a short space of time, in a system suffering from limited infrastructure, insufficient faculty and limited research opportunity. The aim of this article is to give an overview on the history of Jordanian medical education and its current status. In this article, we discuss the infrastructures, admission system, curricula and academia of Jordanian medical schools, as well as recommending some ways forward.
