Preface

The seventh edition of the World directory of medical schools is the result

of a wide and coordinated effort encompassing the design, field-testing and translation ofquestionnaires, the development of an electronic database, and editing, printing and dissemination.The resulting directory provides information on 1642 schools worldwide and is a continuation ofthe work carried out in previous editions.

The electronic database on which the directory is based provides additional information relevantto medical curricula, educational approaches, the assessment of students, the availability and use offacilities and equipment, staff activities, continuing education, the mutual recognition ofqualifications, and the evaluation or accreditation of medical school programmes. For thoseconcerned with and committed to improving the quality of medical education and its relevance tothe health needs of society, this database will provide information on the status and trends ofmedical education worldwide.

While medical education must be adapted to respond to the specific needs of individuals and thepopulations they intend to serve in a given environment, certain capacities of a physician areuniversal. In a world where borders are becoming increasingly illusory, there are growingopportunities andexpectations for international collaboration to enhance quality assurance in medical educationthrough research and development.1,2 Interest in the contribution of medical schools to respond topeople’s health needs and to participate in shaping the future health system through their education,research and service-delivery missions is also growing worldwide.3–6 Benchmarks and evaluationmechanisms are required to assess and promote the role of medical schools in educating futuregenerations of doctors and in influencing the features of their future practice environment for anoptimal response to the health needs of society. In particular, action is needed at the institutional,national and global level to design and promote the most appropriate approaches to allow medicalschools to be the principal contributors to people’s health.

Introduction

The seventh edition of the World directory of medical schools lists institu-

tions of basic medical education in 157 countries or areas. It also provides information on theconditions for obtaining the licence to practise medicinein 14 countries or areas that do not have medical schools. The informationpresented in general reflects the situation during the academic year 1995–96, and is basedprimarily on answers to two questionnaires designed by the World Health Organization and sent:(i) to ministerial authorities requesting information of a general nature on medical education andconditions for practice in the country; and (ii) to all medical schools of whose existence the WorldHealth Organization has been informed by the national government, eitherby confirming existing lists or by providing specific information. The questionnaires were field-tested in several parts of the world, but it sometimes proved difficult to accommodate dataprovided from ministerial authorities ormedical schools within the suggested layout.

At the time of going to press, and in spite of follow-up, a number of governments and medicalschools had not replied to the questionnaires. In these cases only those schools that were previouslyrecognized by the government concerned have been listed. It is therefore not possible to guaranteein all cases the complete accuracy of the information presented, particularly in regard to up-to-dateaddresses. In addition, compatible information was not always provided by the authorities of thecountries cited, particularly concerning agreements between countries. Schools that have beenestablished but where instruction has not yet started have not been listed.

The World Health Organization would appreciate notification of any errors and omissions.These should be addressed to the Department of Organization of Health Services Delivery, WorldHealth Organization, 1211 Geneva 27,Switzerland.

The population figures were made available to WHO by the UnitedNations Population Division following their 1996 revision of World popula-tion prospects. Thenumber of physicians per 100 000 population (1993) was taken from The world health report 1997(WHO, Geneva, 1997). The medical schools in each country are listed alphabetically by city,except in the case of Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, India, Mexico and the USA, where they arelisted under the state or province; Japan, where they are listed by prefecture; and the UnitedKingdom, which is subdivided into England, NorthernIreland, Scotland and Wales. The data were either submitted by the governments or obtaineddirectly from the institutions. Where no information wasavailable, this is indicated by a dash (— ). As the information included inthe Directory must of necessity be restricted in scope, the name and address, where available, ofthe national registration body or licensing authority from which further information can be obtainedhas been given for each country or area.

Scope of the directory

The following information is provided for most of the medical schoolslisted: the name and address, the year instruction started, the language of instruction, the length ofthe degree course, and whether the applicant is required to pass an entrance examination andforeign students are eligible for admission.

Name and address

The names and addresses of the medical schools are in the language of the country concerned,unless the language does not use the Roman alphabet. In that case an English or French version isgiven, depending on which of the two languages was used to answer the questionnaires. Capitalletters have been used for all names and addresses; diacritical marks and accented characters havebeen omitted as these posed problems for the computerizeddatabase.

Year instruction started

This is the year in which medical education began at the institution; it does not necessarilycorrespond to the date when the institution was founded.

Language

This refers to the language(s) used in teaching. Where more than one language is used, they arelisted in decreasing order of importance.

Duration of basic medical degree course, including practical training

The degree course is often followed by an internship of 1 or 2 years.

Database

A database is being constructed, based on the replies to the two questionnaires. It covers thefollowing areas:

Ministerial questionnaire

l Current number of medical schools within the country.l Duration of the programme of medical education.l Title of degree awarded.l Medical registration/licence to practise.l Mutual recognition of qualifications.l Accreditation/recognition or equivalent system.

Medical school questionnaire

l General information.l Curriculum.l Assessment of students.l Facilities/equipment.l Staff activities.l Continuing education.l Interaction with other entities.l Evaluation and accreditation.

Copies of the two questionnaires are available on request from the Department of Organization ofHealth Services Delivery, World Health Organization, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland.
