Abstract
Morocco is a North African lower middle income country; home to the oldest University in the world, where the first identifiable medical degree was issued. Medical Education in Morocco is provided through 10 Medical Schools offering each year around 3200 new places in the first year of medical studies. It is facing many challenges in both its undergraduate and postgraduate programs that need to be addressed urgently through the currently debated national reform of medical studies.
