(Family medicine defines its academic niche: The Split initiative)

Sažetak
Increasingly, medical education is gaining its importance in the academic arena. Although it is still considered to be less important than research, it is now widely acknowledged that this area of science also needs its attention. It is no longer acceptable for the medical schools that they do not pay close attention to teaching aims, methods of teaching and assessment[1-8]. Teachers of medicine at all levels must also be in contact with the latest developments of education, not only in science. In the last decades, medical education has changed considerably. The old fashioned methods of passive teaching methods are slowly giving way to more active methods of teaching[9]. The aims of medical education are changing and more emphasis is given to changing attitudes and shaping the future doctors so that they will become self-directed learners for the rest of their professional careers[10]
