English abstract
Conspicuous gaps demonstrate a collective global failure in the world's health systems as they struggle
to manage complex and expensive demands. The Lancet Commission recently took a global interdisciplinary
perspective and systematic approach to consider alliances between education for health professionals and health
systems in order to address these problems. They concluded that positive outcomes require new instructional
and institutional designs. Findings from the Lancet Commission have implications for the development of health
professional education in Oman, particularly with regard to the call for integrative and transformative education
for the next generation of health professionals. Education in the Omani health sector must keep up with increasing
challenges in both the health and education sectors.
