Abstract

The transformation of medical education as a consequence of the expansion of scientific knowledge, epidemiological risks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the incorporation of emerging technology in health care, have been shown to be determining factors of the context and origin of the challenges facing the training of the doctors of the future today. Therefore, medical education must be aimed at ensuring that future doctors not only consume the knowledge at their disposal, but also criticize it, produce it and renew it. Our times require leaders in healthcare who have the courage to point out the need to change strategies, who do not hesitate to correct their mistakes and take the risk to guide the right path for the future. Thus, medical education sees the need to develop in future doctors the ability to work as a team for the benefit of patients and the health systems in which they operate. Therefore, the greatest challenge facing the transformation of medical education at a global level is to encompass greater correspondence between the educational structure of medical schools and faculties and the medical service provided to the world population.
