Abstract
A quality assurance process will examine the way in which the program is structured and how it functions as an organization. The program should make explicit the committee structure governing the activities of the program, and this should include appropriate representation from staff, trainers, students, and trainees. Relevant external stakeholders whose input should be sought would include medical councils, higher education authorities, national bodies responsible for medical workforce planning, and other representatives of the public and private health-care sector.
