The Seamless Transition of Medical Education from Pre- to Post-graduate Training: Approach from Outcome-based Education

Abstract

　In the past, pre-graduate medical education and clinical training have not been sufficiently discussed and consistent training of physicians has not been carried out because the entities that implement the studies are different. In order to realize high quality pre-graduate education and post-graduate clinical training, and to promote seamless training of physicians, it is necessary to establish a system of medical education. It is also necessary to consider the outcomes of pre-graduate medical education and clinical training to maintain consistency in the review of clinical training system for physicians in 2020. This paper discusses the Model Core Curriculum for Medical Education and clinical training from the perspective of outcome-based education for consistent physician training.
