Abstract
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.
