Reflection As An Essential Component of Medical Education
Abstract
Medical education has taken many turns in the last 2 decades. For centuries the teaching and learning of the science and art of Medicine as a discipline has been pedagogic. A figure of authority taught from personal experience and knowledge, garnered in time, most of it from former teachers and passed on verbatim to students. There was no need for proof, experimentation, change or the challenge of inquiry or skepticism on the part of the learner
