Widening The Horizons Of Medical Education
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Over the past few years, the pattern of health care in the UK has been changing. Today, care is increasingly provided in the community setting. However, for the majority of their time, medical students are still taught in the hospital. The General Medical Council has recommended changes to the way in which doctors are taught. It wants to see students given a greater range of experience of primary care and community health services. Yet, how could such moves be brought about, and what would the implications of such changes be for all those involved? This well-researched report, the result of a two-year project, sets out to answer these questions and includes: - guidelines for setting up community-based teaching, based on the experience of the King's College Medical Firm in the Community - details of the various stakeholders' views on increased community-based medical education and its implications for them - an analysis of the funding and accountability of medical education at a national level. Essential reading for medical students and teachers, this book will also be of interest to patients, general and complementary practitioners, primary and community health care workers, purchasers and providers, and statutory authorities. This book is in generally very good condition with some very minor shelf wear.
