On 300 BC, Alexandria’s famous medical school was established where  Herophilus of Chalcedon – who is  considered the father of anatomy  and one of the leading figures in the development of medicine in Ptolemaic Alexandria – made  the first systematic dissection of human body . It was in Alexandria also where Erasistratus coined the term pathology for the first time and where soranus made the first drawing of the female uterus .Galen, the famous Roman physician studied in Alexandria before practicing in Rome. His teachings and writings survived well into the sixteenth century and formed the basis of more modern medical practices during the renaissance. 

It is well noted that international medical education has been experiencing a lot of challenges and changes in the last two decades that have necessitated a significant reforms; for example, globalization, advances in information technology, best evidence, evidence-based practice, quality practices and quality assurance, and accreditation.
