MBBS Books List for Phase-I Medical Course in Bangladesh

In the recent years, educational institutions around the world have been increasingly confronted with the challenge of making their curricula relevant to the needs of the time. Medical education in Bangladesh has also experienced many changes and challenges. The government has taken initiatives to bring reform in medical education over the last two decades through the UNDP-funded Project1, the FIMC Project2 and the Health and Population Sector Program (HPSP)3. The outcome is not frustrating, rather encouraging, as an "educational environment for change" has been established in the arena of medical education of Bangladesh. The positive aspects are: (i) growing realisation among stakeholders to review existing curriculum4-5; (ii) availability of a sufficiently large “critical mass” of trained teachers in medical education6; (iii) availability of resources, expertise, procedures and guidelines which were left behind by the FIMC Project4-5; (iv) presence of an organisational and operational framework of the Quality Assurance Scheme, both nationally and locally in the medical colleges4; and (v) commitment to improve the medical education in the current Health and Population Sector Program (HPSP)3. Since its development, 1988-curriculum has been criticised by several authorities as it is not strongly oriented towards community health needs and advocated urgent interventions for its revision and improvement1-4, 7-15. This paper discusses the progresses, pitfalls and perspectives of medical education in Bangladesh and put forward recommendations for its improvement.

Quality of medical education, performance of medical students and graduates and provision of effective health care are interrelated. We always concerned about physicians performance and the care they render to the people, but hardly we talk about the quality of medical education in the country and if talk so we do not really mean it. One of the main reasons is, medical education is always given low priority in the political agenda of the government. Notable exceptions are the establishment of Centre for Medical Education (CME) in the early 1980s and initiation of the Further Improvement of Medical Colleges (FIMC) Project in the early 1990s. Last decade can be considered as the “golden age” of medical education in Bangladesh. FIMC Project undertook a number of important reforms in the arena of medical education in Bangladesh in collaboration with international agencies - none of the South-East Asian countries have the chances to undergo such experiences. But it is unfortunate that we failed to consolidate and sustain the achievements of FIMC and other projects. At present, none of the projects’ activities are fully practiced, implemented or reviewed.
