Introduction |
|---|
Undergraduate medical teaching is important in a number of respects: it lays the foundation for future practice, skills and attitudes, forms a basis for lifelong learning and in some cases the quality of undergraduate teaching may determine career choices later in life [1]. Medical undergraduate teaching in the UK was reviewed extensively in 1993 and far-reaching recommendations were made in the General Medical Council (GMC) document Tomorrow's doctors[2]. These recommendations particularly focused on training in clinical skills and emphasized the importance of integration both vertically with the basic sciences and horizontally with other specialty areas. There was also an increased emphasis on social and psychological aspects of disease and disability, and a primary care viewpoint. Similar recommendations about rheumatology undergraduate education were made by a working party representing the UK rheumatology education bodies, the British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) and the Arthritis Research Campaign (ARC)
