%X [english] Medical education is presently unveiling trends, which also dominate other fields of higher education. Within the framework of internationalisation and globalisation, and driven by developments in information and communication technology and the pronounced migration of medical doctors, one has observed consequences such as commercialisation and privatisation. This, in turn, has engendered a quality assurance reaction with focus on standardisation and accreditation. The Bologna Declaration and Process can be seen as part of this new quality concern, but also raises problems for medical education regarding the two-cycle (bachelor and master degrees) system. Standard setting in medical education in Europe took its start with the EU Medical Directive, which has essentially not been changed in 30 years. The increasing internationalisation of medical education, which shows a number of innovative trends, but which also unveils many problems and challenges, emphasises the role of the WFME Global Standards Programme launched in 1997. The Trilogy of Global Standards, covering the continuum of medical education, has been adopted in all parts of the world. The Standards for Basic Medical Education are used in reform programmes in many medical schools and are now also being incorporated in definition of national accreditation standards. This development has recently been strengthened in the WHO/WFME Strategic Partnership to Improve Medical Education. One practical result of this collaboration was the development of WHO/WFME Guidelines for Accreditation of Basic Medical Education. A Task Force under the new EU Thematic Network MEDINE is now working with definition of European accreditation standards using the WFME Global Standards as a template. The immediate perspective will be establishment of national accreditation systems in the European region and there is probably no need at the moment for a common accreditation system in Europe.
