Re: Health Professions Education in Oman

Sir, I was most gratified to read the Editorial by Dr. Ritu Lakhtakia1 that accompanied my own contribution to the field of health professionsʼ education in Oman.2 Indeed, I felt validated in my strong belief in the ability of the health planners of Oman to transform health professional education, following in the same tradition already demonstrated in the fundamental reforms of the past 42 years. I acknowledge the transformations already made in health professionsʼ education and applaud those planned for the future. However, I also agree with the theme of the Editorial, which advocated the need for periodic reality checks.
