Have the outcome criteria of effectiveness (e.g. academic achievement) been enhanced?Many health professions education institutions in the world are now preparing themselves for adopting a quality strategy for their education/whole program, as a preparatory step to apply for accreditation. They establish bodies, form teams, create plans, endorse legislations, and allocate funds.Task:You are requested to describe attempts to apply one of the quality strategies at your institutions with commenting on whether those attempts would really lead to better quality of education and better quality of graduates or not.
