and existence of the University and its
Faculties
 forward step for each University and
Faculty in BiH is introducing a quality
assurance system
European University Association
evaluation of seven B&H
universities 2003-04
 The need for improvement of mechanisms for
structured exchange and dialogue between the
university and its societal partners
Quotation:
«There are currently few mechanisms for
structured exchange and dialogue between the
universities and their stakeholders, although
there are many possible opportunities to
improve this, for the benefit of everybody
concerned».
How to determine standards
Accountability of publicly funded institutions
lies on assuring the society and state that
they are delivering the services for which
they are funded.
Evaluation criteria should be put forward
for proper assessment by external
stakeholders of the contribution to
educational needs of society delivered by
the higher educational institutions.
Stakeholders
Quality that relies on involvement by stakeholders in
helping to determine standards
A significant role in the process of reviewing academic
quality standards for medical education should be
also attributed to
 staff members and students
 alumnae/alumni,
 the broader professional community,
 employers (for instance hospitals and other health
care institutions, pharmaceutical industrial
organizations etc.)
 and patients receiving the health care
Quality improvement
 Improving medical education in the way
that includes beneficiary and sustainable
contribution to the development of whole
society
Medical faculties' long term strategy should
rely on commitment to the local
community and to social responsiveness.
