Abstract

Medical curricula around the globe are diverse, accommodating the social, political, cultural, and health needs in each country. Every medical school has the responsibility to educate graduates capable of providing quality medical care to their communities. Yet true globalization of medical education is a challenge. Little is known about the intrinsic variations which impact curricula in countries around the world. There are unique, often historical reasons that explain the challenges in attaining a genuine globalization of the medical curricula. This perspective provides a glance and general comparison of traditions, economic, and socio-political influences on medical education across seven countries.
