Medical education and professionalism

Since Hippocrates, a dozen precepts have provided guidance for medical education and professionalism. Not so any more. The UK's General Medical Council (GMC) has specified 300 standards for undergraduate education and behaviour in two reports. The first, Medical students: professional values and fitness to practise was published on March 11. The second—an update of Tomorrow's Doctors—is available for consultation until March 27 and will be published in the summer. Standards for professionalism, safety, and diversity are important. However, with so many requirements, the relative merit of each point is lost, as is the broader goal of education.
