Increasing Competency In Health Science Education: Introspection

Abstract

Before health science can play its expected role, health science education needs to be looked at critically and revamped. This area of education needs immediate attention for positive and effective change. This paper is based on observations, deliberations, and supportive findings across the US system of science education. However, with globalization, a lot of it is applicable to other countries. Health science education has been categorized into three categories: Health Science Education in School; in College; And, Beyond College. The paper raises more questions that we need to find workable answers to. It does not, in anyway, claim to provide the best solution, the only answer, or the end to all discussion and development for improvement.
