Medizinische Ausbildung

The Indian medical education system is rapidly expanding, with more than 450 medical schools as of October 2018; therefore, over 70,000 teachers are needed according to MCI regulations. There are no provisions for the training of teachers prior to their recruitment. To achieve higher principles of medical education, it is essential to hire trained personnel. In light of this fact, initiatives for the training of trainers have been undertaken at both global and national levels. According to MCI regulations, units for the training of trainers have been established in all medical colleges, but it has been found that they are not functioning according to the set objectives. Therefore, this work was undertaken to investigate the functionality of the MEUs.
