Abstract

In 1967, the Dutch government established its eighth medical school with the goal of providing a six-year program adapted to the changing needs of the health care system in The Netherlands. Its mandate was to develop educational approaches that reflected modern educational developments. As a result, and in contrast with the other seven Dutch medical schools, the six-year program is primarily oriented toward primary health care and community medicine and the educational approach is based on the principles of “problem-based-self-directed learning”.1
