1 REGIONAL GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSMENT AND RECOGNITION OF MEDICAL SCHOOLS INTRODUCTION: The guidelines were developed by Medical Regulatory Boards and Councils following a directive by the 3 rd EAC Sectoral Council of Ministers of Health that directed the incorporation of the EAC Partner States National Commissions and Councils of Higher Education as well as the Inter-University Council of East Africa in the development of EAC regional guidelines for assessment and recognition of medical and dental schools in East Africa. BACKGROUND: The development of Medical schools in East Africa can be traced from the 1920 s when there was one medical school at Makerere, Uganda based on the British model. However, in the face of increased worldwide demand for training of medical doctors, the clamour of establishing both public and private medical schools, and in line with current international trends it is imperative to set basic standards for assessment and recognition of medical schools to ensure quality. The purpose of recognition and quality improvement in medical education is to adjust medical education to changing conditions in the health care delivery system and to prepare doctors for the needs and expectations of society. Recognition and quality improvement are expected to ensure that training is geared to produce doctors able to cope with the explosion in medical and scientific knowledge as well as new technology. The guidelines provide a framework for basic standards in medical education while allowing for innovation. Guidelines do not aim at creating identical programmes. This document is set out in four parts: 1. Part one: Existing medical schools, 2. Part two: Minimum requirements for establishing new medical schools, 3. Part three: Requirements for teaching hospitals. 4. Part four: Responsibilities of the Medical and Dental Regulatory Bodies.
