A number of medical schools throughout the world have tried to downsize the basic sciences, but studies have shown that teaching of basic sciences is of importance for the clinical years that lie ahead. While some students endorse this finding, others want instruction in these sciences to be limited in terms of content and time. With the increasing cost of medical education and healthcare, medical schools the world over are trying to contain expenditure on the teaching of the basic sciences. In India, too, instruction in these sciences has been curtailed. This trend may need to be reviewed and the new challenges in this area must be addressed.
世界各地的许多医学院都试图缩减基础科学课程，但研究表明，基础科学教学对接下来的临床学习阶段很重要。虽然一些学生认可这一发现，但另一些学生希望这些学科的教学在内容和时间上受到限制。随着医学教育和医疗保健成本的不断增加，世界各地的医学院都在努力控制基础科学教学的开支。在印度，这些学科的教学也被缩减了。这种趋势可能需要重新审视，并且必须应对这一领域的新挑战。
