Medical education and training varies considerably across the world. Various teaching methodologies have been utilised in medical education, which is an active area of educational research. ENTRY-LEVEL EDUCATION See Also: Medical school Entry-level medical education programs are tertiary-level courses undertaken at a Medical School . Depending on jurisdiction and university, these may be either undergraduate-entry or graduate-entry programs. Generally, initial training is taken at Medical School . Traditionally initial medical education is divided between ''pre-clinical'' and ''clinical'' studies. The former consisting of the basic sciences such as Anatomy , Physiology , Biochemistry , Pharmacology , Pathology . The latter consists of teaching in the various areas of clinical medicine such as Internal Medicine , Pediatrics , Obstetrics And Gynecology , Psychiatry , Surgery . Increasingly, however, medical programs are using systems-based curricula in which learning is integrated, and several institutions do this using Problem-based Learning models. POST-GRADUATE EDUCATION Following completion of entry-level training, newly graduated doctors are often required to undertake a period of supervised practice before full registration is granted; this is most often of one year duration and may be referred to as "internship" or "provisional registration". Further training in a particular field of medicine may be undertaken. In some jurisdictions this is commenced immediately following completion of entry-level training, whilst other juristictions require junior doctors to undertake generalist (unstreamed) training for a number of years before commencing specialisation.
