Izazovi i specifičnosti implementacije reforme visokog obrazovanja na Medicinskom fakultetu u Sarajevu
Challenges and Peculiarities of Implementing Higher Education Reform at the Faculty of Medicine in Sarajevo

Summary/Abstract: Conference on higher education reforming in organization of the University of Sarajevo represents a unique opportunity for students to improve, through participating in the aforesaid events, the education quality at their faculties, respectively Science Groups. Students of the Faculty of Medicine are attempting to impartially point at the positive trends, but also at the drawbacks which reform caused, and thus give their own contribution to the improvement of the education quality. At the very start it is necessary to emphasize the study peculiarity within the Medical Sciences Group, which is still unrecognized by its founder, even though all previous consultations were pointed at it as the core of the problem. Precisely that chain of events resulted in numerous items of legislation that almost prevented operating of faculties from the Medical Sciences Group, including the implementation of the reform – which could not entirely be implemented. The education reform at the Faculty of Medicine in Sarajevo has brought the greatest progress in the field of practical work, because through the greater number of hours intended for training and closer contact with academic staff, students have the opportunity to adopt more practical skills. Since we have not had a large number of students in clinical courses, we had a group of seven students, which in future will not be possible unless more academic staff get employed, because we already have in the near future groups which will be including more than twenty students that are far from Bologna standards. By the UNSA Senate’s decision, students have become full members of the Quality Assurance Committee, which represents a major shift in the perceptions of student roles in the process of quality assurance.
