AMSA: Medical students can’t learn without teachers
“The clinical training programs in Australia are integral to ensuring we continue to produce world class doctors. Unfortunately due to constraints in time and resources, doctors are struggling to help provide this training to medical students,” said President Tiffany Fulde.
With medical student numbers doubling from 2005 levels by 2011, the demand for doctors to teach is only going to increase.
“It is essential that we implement strategies to address this problem now to ensure that medical students receive quality clinical teaching before they graduate as doctors,” said Tiffany Fulde.
