| Abstract: | The launch of the campaign by the BMJ and a
range of partners to revitalize academic
medicine is extremely welcome at this time
when the effects of globalisation on health (and vice versa) are being felt more than ever. In my seven years as dean of the progressive Makerere University Medical School I have seen the faculty become
increasingly disillusioned about the prospects of a career in medicine. National and global pressures have reduced available resources considerably, making it much harder for the medical school to support the different pillars of academic medicine. We must champion excellent scholarship in academic medicine—the discovery of knowledge, the practice of teaching, and the integration and application of knowledge—while ensuring that the needs and interests of Uganda’s communities are adequately
served. |
