The on rush of beneficial change which now flows in medical education has never been stronger since the start of this century. Such activity has not been seen since the era of Flexner. There can be no doubt that the world scene is now set for decisive, effective action. The many tributaries of the stream of reform converge this year at Edinburgh, to diverge again into six Regional Conferences during 1994 in Africa, the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, Europe, South-East Asia and the Western Pacific. The centres of activity and connection cited below do not in any way make up a comprehensive catalogue. Rather, each development and each reform is a link in a chain, a module with which the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME) has been implicated. Each name given, each title stated, is intended as a marker, a nexus. These are among the partners to be mobilized and brought together for the task.
自本世纪初以来，医学教育领域有益变革的浪潮从未如此强劲。自弗莱克斯纳时代以来，从未见过如此活跃的景象。毫无疑问，全球现在已为果断、有效的行动做好了准备。改革洪流的众多支流今年汇聚在爱丁堡，之后又将分散到1994年在非洲、美洲、东地中海、欧洲、东南亚和西太平洋地区举行的六次区域会议中。以下列举的活动和联系中心绝不是一份全面的目录。相反，每一项发展和每一项改革都是链条中的一环，是世界医学教育联合会（WFME）所涉及的一个模块。所提及的每一个名字、每一个标题都旨在作为一个标志、一个联系点。这些都是为这项任务而要动员和汇聚起来的合作伙伴。
