New Medical Education System: Implementation of Informatic Technology and Holistic Approach Concept

Abstract

Sir, the recent report on “Quality Assessment of Medical Education at Faculty of Medicine of Sarajevo University” is very interesting (1). It is interesting that the new system seems to be challenging and can result in satisfaction of the students and outcome. Indeed, the continuous assessment of the medical education and curriculum is needed. This is according to the concept of continuous quality improvement. The updating of the necessary content (knowledge) as well as new education, teaching, techniques must be the fundamental concepts. Of interest, Masic I (1) raised the importance of medical student satisfaction assessment which is usually forgotten issue. In fact, medical student can be the “client” of the Faculty and the satisfaction survey should be regularly done. However, education is not the business. Sometimes, the interpretation of satisfaction of the students has to be carefully done. Some regulations and standards must be kept. As a new medical education system, to promote the new knowledge and skill via using new tools including to the informatic technology can be helpful. The holistic approach is required.
