Transforming education to strengthen health systems in the Sultanate of Oman

الملخص EN

Conspicuous gaps demonstrate a collective global failure in the world’s health systems as they struggle to manage complex and expensive demands.

The Lancet Commission recently took a global interdisciplinary perspective and systematic approach to consider alliances between education for health professionals and health systems in order to address these problems.

They concluded that positive outcomes require new instructional and institutional designs.

Findings from the Lancet Commission have implications for the development of health professional education in Oman, particularly with regard to the call for integrative and transformative education for the next generation of health professionals.

Education in the Omani health sector must keep up with increasing challenges in both the health and education sectors.
