The General Medical Council's recommendations for medical education in Tomorrow's doctors led to a major review of undergraduate medical curricula. The changes have affected all those who teach medical students. This article discusses the background to the GMC's recommendations to define core curricula but provide choice, including options in the humanities, to 'integrate' courses and to introduce new methods of teaching and learning. The guidance in Tomorrow's doctors provides a framework that should ensure that graduates are competent and reflective practitioners, but courses must be evaluated to ensure that goals are realised. It may prove difficult to maintain high standards in medical education as numbers of students increase.
英国医学总会在《明日医生》中对医学教育的建议引发了对本科医学课程的重大审查。这些变革影响了所有教医学生的人。本文讨论了英国医学总会提出定义核心课程但提供选择（包括人文课程选项）、“整合”课程以及引入新教学方法等建议的背景。《明日医生》中的指导方针提供了一个框架，应能确保毕业生成为有能力且善于反思的从业者，但必须对课程进行评估以确保目标得以实现。随着学生数量的增加，可能难以维持医学教育的高标准。
