RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Canadian medical education: 50 years of innovation and leadership JF Canadian Medical Association Journal JO CMAJ FD Canadian Medical Association SP 1582 OP 1588 VO 148 IS 9 A1 Dauphinee, W. D. YR 1993 UL http://www.cmaj.ca/content/148/9/1582.abstract AB Over the past 50 years, many Canadian medical educators have pursued ideas and visions, as individuals in the 1950s and 1960s and later in partnership with various national bodies. Relations between universities and national medical organizations have been productive in dealing with issues of postgraduate education and clinical assessment, in particular. From 1970 to 1990, strong education offices and formally trained educators led to many successes in the areas of research in cognition, continuing medical education and clinical assessment. Canadian medical education has now achieved international recognition for its work in all aspects of the continuum of the physician's education through vision, initiative and cooperation.
