Redefining social accountability for medical schools – beyond codes and contracts to measuring contributions
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined 'social accountability for medical schools' in 1995; yet 30 years later, many remain concerned that medical schools are not living up to societal expectations. In this article, we first place the WHO's definition into historical context, then we contrast the WHO social 'contract', where schools are expected to demonstrate value for money, with the more altruistic 'code' that had been put forward previou…
Leadership as a catalyst for advancing social accountability in health professions education: Amee Guide No. 187
Social accountability (SA) has become a key principle for health professions education, urging institutions to align their actions with the health priorities of the populations they serve. Despite its importance, many schools struggle to implement SA effectively, often due to fragmented leadership development and a lack of institutional frameworks. This AMEE Guide positions leadership as a strategic, system-wide driver of social accountability. D…
Building resilient health professions education in fragile contexts: Amee guide No. 182
Health Professions Education (HPE) cannot rely on assumptions of stability. Fragile contexts - wars, disasters, political upheaval, and systemic weakness - disrupt teaching and learning, assessment, accreditation, and the well-being of learners and faculty. This AMEE Guide provides a framework for building resilient HPE that survive crises and use them as opportunities for reform. The Guide identifies three types of fragility and explores their i…

Integrating the social determinants of health into curriculum: Amee Guide No. 162
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) as the non-medical factors influencing health outcomes. SDOH is associated with conditions in which people are born, grow, work, and live. Medical schools and licensing bodies are increasingly recognizing the need for doctors and healthcare professionals to be aware of their patient's social context and how it impacts their states of health and disease. However, …
Going beyond competencies: Building blocks for a patient- and population-centered medical curriculum
INTRODUCTION: Changing health care requires changing medical education. In this position paper it is suggested that subsequent innovations in medical education each had their specific strengths and shortcomings. What they have, however, in common is that they place the medical student and their competencies at their center. Innovation in medical education is inward looking. DISCUSSION: The authors propose a perspective on the medical curriculum i…

Problem-based learning (PBL) provides an ideal setting to teach medical students about these topics. The objective of this study is to explore how well the components of social accountability are covered in a pre-clinical PBL medical curr…
