- Abstract
Current issues in medical education involve ensuring the quality of training methods in developing essential clinical skills within a framework of two contrasting paradigms: Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) and Personalized Medicine or Person-Centered Medicine (PM). Quality assurance in medical education represents a broad range of activities, under which both meeting the requirements of the external standards and enhancing the quality of teaching and learning at an institution are included. The current article focuses on new perspectives regarding maintaining and enhancing the quality of medical education, with special attention given to the development of doctor-patient communication skills throughout clinical training. Research has stressed the importance of integrating communication skills training into the postgraduate curriculum and offered complex simulation scenarios and interdisciplinary teamwork as the greatest opportunities for learning and quality improvement.
