[It's time to define the Swedish Doctor? Lessons learnt from the evaluation of the Finnish undergraduate medical education].

: The proposal for a new Swedish 6-year undergraduate medical education entails that the Master of Science in Medicine provides the basis for the licence to practice. During 2017-2018, the Finnish National Education Evaluation Center (FINEEC) conducted a nationwide evaluation of their 6-year medical education. Experiences from their evaluation may be useful in the development of the new Swedish undergraduate education. The outcome important to consider in Sweden is defining common core competencies for all newly graduated doctors, a framework for "Swedish Doctor". A curriculum mapping tool to ensure constructive alignment and an organization to oversee how the curriculum is implemented is essential. Further, the universities have to ensure that all students get training in essential clinical skills and that those skills are assessed. Development of the national collaboration similar to that of Finland is encouraged.
