Sažetak
Structure of a modern medical curriculum should follow recommendations of professional bodies (like World Federation for Medical Education) in order to educate and train medical professionals equipped with problem solving/critical thinking skills entering a world of evidence-based medicine and demands of contemporary medical practices. Also, political and socio-economic realities in addition to traditional and cultural values should be taken into account in order avoid creating an unsustainable program. Requests for curricular changes by the European Union Commission were used as a chance to shape our program into an original blend of traditional pre-clinical and clinical subjects with a stream of several verticalized subjects focusing on mastering clinical skills, professional attitudes, information management and critical as well as evidence-based reasoning and decision making. Reasons for introducing curricular changes in addition to detailed structure of current medical course at the University of Split School of Medicine is presented in this paper.
