摘要

醫學生是下一代醫師的儲備人才，隨各種醫學資訊的快速累積與社會多元性的發展，整體醫療環境日新月異，社會人群對醫療專業的期望也愈高。如何培養與創造下一世紀所需的醫療專業人才，是醫療教育改革的重點。
台大醫學院積極推動醫學教育改革，朝向統合性、啟發性、解決問題導向性的小組教學努力。第一階段改革的重點在後五年的專業教育；而第二階段的重點將著力於發展醫學教育中人文與社會科學方面的課程，配合總區通識教育工作的發展，以期醫學生發展出獨立思辯、分析判斷的能力，及充份自覺的主體意識。
現代醫學生所需的通識教育有五個方向：「身心二元論」與醫學哲學基礎、社會性與人道主義的強調、醫療的團隊合作、科際整合、及藝術、美感經驗的培養。台大醫學院通識教育課程的規畫也朝向這五個方向來設計，以期培養切合現代社會需求的下一代醫療工作者。
