1. Reduce course duration from 6 years to 5.
2. Increase “medicaly qualified” faculty in basic sciences.
3. Use technology to overcome staff shortage without reducing quality (interactive, dynamic, self paced with “human” staff support).
4. Continuous monitoring of learning (online interactive quizzes etc) with support by human staff.
5. Specialist training to be administered by medical schools (specialist colleges monitor quality only).
6. Allow / encourage private players in medical education (competition, quality & efficiency).

7. Include values, ethics, law, management & leadership as compulsory assessable subjects of curriculum.

Thanks
