A rough comparison
of curriculum structures in the European countries is presented in this
slide. It shows the relative emphasis on the three phases or cycles of
study, i.c. pre-clinical sciences, theoretical clinical sciences and
clinical practice (although sometimes the latter two are less
distinguished). In some countries the development towards an integrated
curriculum is evident. Most of the curriculum structures are still
discipline oriented and overloaded, whereas evident Problem Based Learning
and Student Centred Systems still are rare. However in most countries
national committees recommend a new approach in education and preparatory
studies are ongoing almost everywhere.
