Abstract

Objectives: Transformation experienced in medical education and the unplanned increase in the number of medical faculties has necessitated addressing the issue of medical education on a national level. As a result, at the meeting of the Council of Medical Deans, it was decided that a new national framework for undergraduate medical education should be created. This study aims to evaluate the design/change process and outcomes of the National Core Curriculum-2014 (NCC-2014) for Undergraduate Medical Education.
