The Role of Indonesian Medical Council in Assuring The Quality of Medical Education
Abstract: Indonesian Medical
Council (IMC) was established in October 2005 as mandated by the Medical
Practice Law No.29/2004. The main function of IMC is to safeguard the medical
practices through several mechanism, one of which is through ensuring the
quality of medical education by approving the standards of competences and
standards of medical education as well as by monitoring the implementation of
those standards. A new Medical Education Law No.20/2013 is enacted. In this
Law, the role of IMC in assuring the quality of
medical education disappeared.
Method: This is an exploratory qualitative study. Documents are analysed
using a content analysis. Typology for medical regulatory framework is applied.
Results: Five categories are identified, namely (1)
educationally-oriented regulators, (ii) mix regulatory regimes, (iii)
collaborative governance, (iv) professional regulation and (v)
mix-credentialing regimes
Conclusion: For governance of medical education, educationally-oriented
regulators predominates. In quality assurance for medical education,
mix-regulatory, collaborative governance and professional regulation are
applied; however there is a contradictory of role between IMC and the Ministry.
In funding, mix-regulatory regime and collaborative regime are applied. In
education trajectory, educationally-oriented regulator is used and in exam and
qualification mix-credentialing regime is applied. Only in quality assurance in
medical education, there is a serious contradiction of IMC role.
Keywords: Quality assurance,
