Talk:Medical school

I have just tried to expand upon the previous entry, in an effort to begin to internationalise the information. It obviously needs more work.

I agree with Diberri that the list of "famous" [US] medical schools seems somewhat unneccessary.

Is there any convincing reason to maintain a list of so-called "famous" medical schools on this page? Seems to me that such a listing might be a bit biased. --Diberri 11:05, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I've removed this POV list. --Diberri | Talk 01:50, Jun 16, 2004 (UTC)

I've expanded quite a lot on the UK section, and could realistically go quite a lot further. Might it be worth pulling the UK out into its own page? --James Bedford 01:29, 28 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it is too bulky for this overview and that it deserves its own page.

The medical student life is beyond the scope of this topic so probably should go into the UK-specific article; it probably needs a bit of cleaning up and "decoloquialising" to be in keeping with the encyclopaedic nature.

Much of the PBL/traditional GEMP/UEMP info is common to other countries, e.g. Australia has been increasingly using 4 year GEMPs for over a decade (interestingly, a number of UK medical schools license Australian curricula).

Good work, --Daveb 02:53, 29 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Daveb, seems my first contribution to wikipedia was ok...

Have moved the page to UK Medical School, but would appreciate some advice on tidying up - I'm not happy about just leaving "See the UK Medical School pages for more...", seems a bit user-unfriendly.

Also, might separate pages for PBL etc. (i.e. those topics that are transferable across countries) be a good idea, or could that be fragmenting things too much?

Hi James,

Thanks for doing that. I have reformatted the redirect, and will probably rename the new article to fit with usual conventions, bit I think a new article is warranted.

You could probably leave a really brief summary in this article, eg covering the fact that there are different models used.

Thanks again, --Daveb 06:53, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jfdwolff, I fail to see why you reverted the edit by 202.83.48.61. Could you pleas explain your action. --Admiral Roo 16:31, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Restructure

This page is becoming quite long as various examples from around the world are added. In addition, some are beginning to touch on postgraduate training/education, which varies great around the world, perhaps moreso than basic training. As such I recommend spinning off daughter articles for the different medical education systems listed. These could combine both basic and postgraduate training, and as such could be named "Medical education in <location>". Cheers, --Daveb 06:17, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Medical College (India) I had already created Doctor Bruno 19:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea to have a spin-off article to lessen the burden on this article. Are the medical colleges wholly responsible for medical training in India, or are other organisations involved? (I am not familiar with the system there). If other are involved you could create an overview "Medical education in India" article, which refers to the Medical College (India) article where appropriate.
