Learning by mutual commitment: broadening the concept of learning contracts.

A learning environment where students may negotiate with the course directors on the objectives and contents of a course, and where the teachers from pre-stated teaching and pedagogical obligations, may also negotiate with the students on what realistic demands they can meet when adjusting to individual students' needs, could be regarded as a set-up where learning by mutual commitment takes place. In order to support and to elaborate on reported experiences from using contracts as a learning device (Solomon, 1992), experiences gained from the Medical School of Witten/Herdecke, Germany, will be presented.

Reflections on possible virtues of European medical education.

Political and social development in Europe will lead to increased mobility of doctors between countries as well as opening up new possibilities and horizons for educational institutions. In this emerging process the charge that universities are too traditional to change may not be valid when the virtues of academic traditions in Europe are considered. When those virtues are taken into account, they are seen to facilitate the integration of more current goals for future development into undergraduate medical curricula. The use of external examiners between different countries in Europe will promote greater quality in European medical education.
