- Description: Medical education today is under severe tension between “maintenance of standards” and “relevance to the needs of the population served”. A standard is a level of excellence and conventional schools tend to separate “standards” from “relevance” whereas innovative schools do not. This battle has been going on for sometime and in many places including South Africa. de Klerk (1979) warns that South African doctors should not allow the medical standards they have set for themselves to deteriorate because of the pragmatic problems encountered in attempting to attain the primary health care ideal. Daubenton (1990), on the other hand, states that one is excellent only if one is relevant. According to Daubenton, medical education can only be considered excellent if it is responsive and relevant to local needs.
