Abstract

Medical education is experiencing significant changes both in India and across the globe. These trends reflect the evolving needs of the healthcare sector and the increasing demand for competent and compassionate healthcare professionals.  As we stand on the brink of transformational change in medical education, it is crucial that all stakeholders come together to drive this process forward. By embracing innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence, we can shape a medical education system that meets the needs of our people and prepares doctors to deliver high-quality healthcare for all. One key trend is the shift towards competency-based education. Traditional methods of rote memorization are being replaced by a focus on practical skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. This ensures that medical graduates are better prepared to meet the complex challenges of modern healthcare.
