Abstract
The main aim of medical colleges is to educate, train & certify doctors who will then go on to take care of the health of the people. WHO held the health care institutions to be socially accountable, declaring in 1995 that they have ‘‘the obligation to direct their education, research and service activities towards addressing the priority health concerns of the community, region and the nation that they have the mandate to serve.’’1 Medical education institutions of the twenty first century face numerous challenges like provision of equitable health care, using technological innovations, dealing with brain drain, problems created through migrations and conflicts, changing demography and aging population. The developed countries have responded through educational reforms. The modern curriculum brings together well-articulated competencies, use of innovative teaching methodologies and technological advances.
