Letter To The Editor
The adoption of this change by Aga Khan University and Ziauddin Medical University in Pakistan is a welcome development. The dynamics and intricacies of this transition need to be carefully worked out by all the stakeholders. Without doubt, this will be no easy task as was envisioned in Edinburgh3 seventeen years ago: "Reform of medical education requires more than agreement; it requires a widespread commitment to action, vigorous leadership, and political will."
