Opportunities and resources for training of medical teachers have been
criticized in recent UK reports. A survey of undergraduate and postgr
aduate medical deans showed that training courses were available at mo
st institutions, though only a few were specifically designed for medi
cal teachers. Many new and specific courses are being planned and many
new appointments are being made in medical education at both medical
school and postgraduate levels. While the outcome of greater resources
for training of medical education cannot yet be determined, we conclu
de that criticisms are being speedily addressed.
