Modern medical education has undergone many innovative changes since the introduction of systematic medical education in 1910 under the name of the Flexner Report. Professor Harden of the University of Dundee presented the ‘SPICES’ model and outlined innovative teaching strategies in contrast to traditional methods. He believes that innovative education should change from “teacher-centered” to “student-centered” and that learning requires a shift from “information- gathering” to “problem-based” and also from “hospital-centered” to “community-based”. The model also states that the curriculum should change from “discipline-based” to “integrated/interprofessional”, from “uniform standard program” to “elective with a core program” and that a pre-planned ‘systematic approach’ rather than an ‘opportunistic approach” is required during training (1).
