The Sudanese medical education in the light : of Flexner Report

الملخص EN

Medical education as a profession is a legitimate offspring of Flexner's report in 1910.

It strived to excel in preparing future doctors and increasing the competency of medical practitioners.

We provide a scientific critique of Flexner's report, displaying its merits and shortcomings and shedding a spotlight on Sudan's medical education milestones and its current strive for excellence and innovation in curricula designing, accreditation, graduate competencies, staff professional development, and quality improvement.

Since the publication of this inspiring study, a global effort has been launched to improve the quality of health system policies and health professions' competency through education.

All stakeholders now seek fundamental reform in medical education in Sudan to improve its quality and trustworthiness.

Based on this study, our impost does not necessarily propose following its footsteps but instead evaluates its stimulating role in planning and intervention.
