In 1991, vigorous debate was regenerated in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Sydney about the desirability of changing the traditional 6-year undergraduate medical programme to a 4-year, graduate model. Similar discussion occurred at the same time largely independently in two other Australian medical schools (at Flinders University and the University of Queensland). After a year of active investigation and consideration, all three made the decision to proceed. Although the specific reasons driving each institution differed somewhat, some concerns were common to all three. I here review the history of the process of change, the strategies used to encourage discussion and the major issues for the Medical Faculty at the University of Sydney.
1991年，悉尼大学医学院就将传统的6年制本科医学课程改为4年制研究生模式是否可取展开了激烈辩论。与此同时，澳大利亚另外两所医学院（弗林德斯大学和昆士兰大学）也在很大程度上独立地进行了类似讨论。经过一年的积极调研和思考，三所院校都决定继续推进。尽管各院校推动变革的具体原因略有不同，但有一些担忧是三所院校共有的。在此，我回顾一下变革过程的历史、鼓励讨论所采用的策略以及悉尼大学医学院面临的主要问题。
